Travel Information for Attendees

The third largest city in the United States, with a population of nearly 3 million people, Chicago is a thriving centre of international trade and commerce.

An architectural capital, its scenic location on Lake Michigan and world-class cultural offerings make Chicago one of the premier cities in the United States for visitors. The city boasts nearly 200 art galleries, dozens of cultural institutions, historical sites and museums, and 26 miles of picturesque lakefront.

The Westin Chicago River North is nestled in the heart of the business and theatre districts, trendy restaurants and art galleries. Overlooking the Chicago River, the hotel is within walking distance of Michigan Avenue, Millennium Park, Merchandise Mart, and the Loop business district. The Westin Chicago River North is a great weekend location, just steps from Chicago's best dining and theatre, and close to Magnificent Mile shopping.

The Westin Chicago River North is located within 12 minutes from McCormick Place, 30 minutes from O’Hare International Airport and 25 minutes from Midway Airport.
