This stay was the closest and safest for an art institute visit. I flew in to see the Cezanne exhibit and finished the rest of the museum the next day. The Congress is older but clean and had great views. It’s a straight shot on Michigan Ave - keeping it safer than any of the side streets. Then a few blocks to blue line to Ohare -you’re out. I recommend avoiding Chicago altogether however the museum is worth it. Congress hotel made it simple. Thanks
