Frequently Asked Questions
Which hotels near Chicago Amtrak allow pets?
Several properties accept pets. Central Loop Hotel (free, no charges), L7 Chicago by LOTTE (free), Hotel Zachary (free), Loews Chicago (charges apply), Residence Inn Magnificent Mile (on request), and Kasa River North (free) are solid options. Always confirm pet fees before booking — policies can vary by room type and pet weight (Trump Chicago limits to 11 kg per pet, for example).
What’s the best hotel for catching Amtrak from Union Station?
For the shortest walk, L7 Chicago by LOTTE (9.8 Location) or citizenM Chicago Downtown (9.6 Location) are both within a 10-15 minute walk along the riverwalk. If you prefer a direct transit connection, Hyatt Place Chicago Wicker Park offers Blue Line access that drops you at Union Station without transfers. Both options keep you close to Amtrak departure gates.
Do any of these hotels offer free parking near Amtrak?
Yes, The Sono Chicago offers free on-site parking in Old Town — rare for a property this close to downtown. 5430 Happy Home also provides free parking but in a South Side residential area. Most downtown hotels (Trump, Pendry, Residence Inn) charge $50-78 per night for valet or garage parking. For budget parking, SpotHero near Union Station can save $20-30 per night compared to hotel valet rates.
When’s the best time to visit Chicago for Amtrak travel?
Spring (April-May) and fall (September-October) offer the most comfortable walking weather for getting to and from Union Station. Summer brings higher hotel rates and crowds at properties near Magnificent Mile, while winter can make the 10-15 minute walk to Amtrak less pleasant.

The Langham Chicago leads with Cleanliness at 9.7, followed by Trump International at 9.6 and The Peninsula at 9.7. For more budget-friendly options, Hampton Inn Medical District and L7 Chicago both score 9.5 for cleanliness. If you’re booking an Amtrak trip and cleanliness is your top priority, filter for properties with 9.4+ in that category — most luxury properties on this list meet that threshold.
