Midway Airport is located in the middle of a neighborhood on the south side of Chicago. About 15 minutes from downtown, Midway and its surrounding area is ideal for travelers to the Windy City who are looking to take in a White Sox or Blackhawks game, or for business travelers wishing to stay closer to the airport.
The Residence Inn at Midway Airport is actually in Bedford Park, Illinois, which is just outside the Chicago city limits and next to Midway. If you're in town on business for an extended period of time, the hotel has designated extended-stay rooms and suites, which come with fully-equipped kitchens as well as flat-screen TVs. The hotel also provides premium sports, news and movie channels. If you're just in town for a concert in Tinley Park at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheater, or a Chicago Fire soccer game at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, the Residence Inn's location is ideal, as you can take Cicero Avenue south and be at either within 30 minutes.
The Hampton Inn at Midway Airport is also located in Bedford Park, next door to the airport campus. Visit downtown Chicago to take in the sights at Grant and Millennium Parks or shop the Magnificent Mile, and return to your hotel to enjoy in-room Internet access as well as premium TV, with channels such as ESPN, HBO and CNN.
The Holiday Inn Express at Midway Airport is located within the city limits of Chicago, next to the airport. The hotel provides complimentary shuttle access to Midway, as well as transportation to the CTA Orange Line, which will take you to the Loop in less than 30 minutes. Travel to nearby Brookfield Zoo to spend a day looking at the animals, or stay at the hotel and enjoy the 24-hour fitness center, allowing you to maintain your workout routine.
The Sleep Inn Midway Airport is in Bedford Park, like many of the hotels surrounding the airport campus. Sleep Inn provided shuttle service to both Midway as well as the CTA Orange Line. Care for a drive instead? Drive north on Cicero Avenue until you hit Interstate 55 -- the Stevenson Expressway -- which turns into Lake Shore Drive when you enter downtown Chicago and take the Drive north until you find the end at Hollywood and turn around. The views of the city and Lake Michigan are breathtaking, and along the way you can stop to take pictures or visit attractions such as the Buckingham Fountain at Grant Park or Navy Pier.
