About Chicago

A city of life, beauty and spirit, Chicago exemplifies work and play coming together. With countless contributions already made to the world of business and tourism, Chicago continues to evolve in order to maintain its standing as a leading convention and tourism destination.

People come to Chicago for many different reasons. And for each reason they cite, the city offers as many options as there are sparkles on Lake Michigan! After boating, walking, shopping or theater-going there's still that zoo, concert, museum, library, garden or ballgame you came for. Whatever you like to do, whatever you want to see, Chicago has enough activities and sights to last a lifetime. Of course, we've got world-class dining too!

Getting there is easy too! Today, Chicago is the nation's air, railroad and interstate highway hub. Chicago's premier location translates into real convenience for everyone.

  • With more than 3,300 flights a day, flying to and from Chicago is easier than any other city in the country.
  • Because of a high volume of international and national flights, air travel to and from Chicago is less expensive than most major U.S. cities.
  • Chicago has two airports, O'Hare International Airport and Midway, both conveniently located minutes from hotel.
