Tips & Warnings
Leave some time to enjoy Chicago's historic Union Station before heading off to your hotel. The station was built in 1925 and includes a Beaux-Arts Grand Hall.
Withdraw cash at the ATMs located in the station so you don't need to stop once you leave the station.
Inquire with your hotel to see if they provide a courtesy pick up service from Union Station.
