  • As the Voco hotel is located just outside the Loop, many robust public transit options are available and recommended to reach Transport Chicago. 

    • The CTA Merchandise Mart station serving the Brown and Purple lines is an easy 5-7 minute walk to Voco through the Merchandise Mart’s second floor walkway. See our new POV video on how to make this indoor connection! The #37 and #125 CTA bus routes also serve the Merchandise Mart.

    • The CTA Clark/Lake station, which serves all ‘L’ lines except Red and Yellow, is a 10-12 minute outdoor walk directly to Voco’s entrance at 350 W Wolf Point Plaza. Transfers can also be made in the Loop to the Brown and Purple lines.

    • Voco is easy to access from downtown Metra, Amtrak, and South Shore Line terminals. 

      • Union Station and Ogilvie Transportation Center: It is roughly a 15-20 minute walk from Union Station and a 12-15 minute walk from Ogilvie. The #125 CTA bus route also provides direct service from these terminals to the Orleans & Merchandise Mart stop, very close to Voco’s entrance.

      • LaSalle Street Station: take the Purple or Brown lines from LaSalle/Van Buren to Merchandise Mart.

      • Millennium Station It is roughly a 20 minute walk from Millennium. Another option is to take the Brown Line from Washington/Wabash to Merchandise Mart.

    • A Divvy station is available at the intersection of Orleans St & Merchandise Mart Plaza, very close to Voco’s entrance. Private bikes can be locked on public street racks.

    • Car parking is available in nearby garages. Voco does not provide valet parking.

    • Transport Chicago 2025 will be hosted on the 14th and 15th floors of the Voco Chicago Downtown hotel at 350 W Wolf Point Plaza, Chicago, IL, 60654. 

    • While Transport Chicago is sometimes colloquially described as being “at the Merchandise Mart,” the Voco hotel is actually in the building across the street from it. Unless you are coming from the Merchandise Mart CTA train station, it is probably easier to navigate by walking outside directly to Voco’s entrance at 350 W Wolf Point Plaza rather than first entering the Merchandise Mart.

  • Please reach out directly to whomever on the TC team you have been coordinating with so that we may assist you with more specificity. If you aren’t sure who that should be, feel free to use our contact form.
