Carefully chosen artwork and new chandelier shades adorn the new ballroom for guests to enjoy the breathtaking and stunning atmosphere.

Located only two blocks from Chicago Midway's International Airport, the hotel is a short drive or train ride to all downtown Chicago has to offer including shopping on the Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, Chicago's renowned restaurants, the stadiums of Chicago's sports teams and the museums and aquarium. Offering a complimentary 24/7 shuttle to Midway Airport, this property offers guests a transportation alternative to all of these downtown Chicago must-sees.
