Hotel shuttle
Hotel shuttles collect at the Terminal 2 arrivals curb, and some also serve Terminal 5, so ask your hotel which one. Virtual concierge kiosks on the arrivals level by baggage claim will call a shuttle at no charge. Loews lists no booking; ask the other hotels when their shuttle runs before you book a late landing.
Taxi
Taxis wait at the stand on the lower-level curb outside baggage claim at every terminal. Use the marked stand, and turn down rides offered outside it or on the departure level. The city lists Rosemont as a straight-meter suburb, so the fare is the meter alone. A suburban company's cab has to be booked by phone first.
CTA Blue Line
From Terminals 1, 2 and 3, follow the Trains to City signs through the pedestrian tunnels on the basement level; the walk from baggage claim takes under ten minutes. From Terminal 5, ride the free Airport Transit System to Terminal 2 first. The Crowne Plaza is a short walk from the Blue Line, and La Quinta has a station nearby. Boarding at O'Hare costs twice what the ride back from Rosemont costs.
Pace Route 330 bus
Route 330 stops at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center and the Rosemont Theater. Ride the Airport Transit System to the Multi-Modal Facility, where Pace buses load at bays 8 and 9. The route runs every day.
Metra North Central Service
The North Central Service trains call at Rosemont on weekdays only. They board at the O'Hare Transfer station behind the Multi-Modal Facility; ride the Airport Transit System there from any terminal.

- The DoubleTree is immediately alongside the convention center.
- Embassy Suites is linked to the convention center by a sky bridge.

- The Sonesta sits on West Higgins Road between Rivers Casino and the outlets.
- By road from Terminal 5, the DoubleTree is 1.9 miles and Embassy Suites 1.8 miles.
- No bus or train stop is named for the outlets, so a hotel beside them is the simplest way to reach them.
