This area is downtown the way big downtowns used to be, with every kind of shopping and eating experience you can hope to find. The distance between the two sites (hotel, Museum) is not that large to preclude walking. Only a few minutes. People not wishing to walk can use either Chicago Transit, or share cabs. Regarding transit both hotel and museum have nearby stops for Brown and Purple lines. Which of the lines is better depends on the direction to go:
