Visiting CME Group: The Business Traveler’s Guide
A complete business-travel guide to CME Group’s Chicago headquarters — where to stay, how to get there, and how to make the meeting count.
Everything a business traveler needs for a trip to CME Group’s Chicago headquarters — the hotel, the airport, and the ground game — in one place, drawn from our verified where-to-stay and getting-there work.
Where to stay near CME Group
The go-to pick is JW Marriott Chicago — Luxury in a landmark building on Adams, in the heart of the financial Loop near Willis Tower — the room for hosting or an executive visit.. The office sits in downtown Chicago, on Wacker at the CME Center, so book to that submarket rather than defaulting to “downtown.” See the full verified shortlist for CME Group →
Getting there
Midway (MDW) ~25 min · O'Hare (ORD) ~40 min. On the ground it is the l — the blue or orange line drops you downtown for a few dollars. The full airport-to-office guide for CME Group →
