Flight
O'Hare is the more convenient airport to land in.
Train
Take the Blue line to Grand (13 stops). Then take the 65 bus to Navy Pier Terminal (13 stops). This is the last stop on the bus route. This option will take about 1 hour and 15 minutes and is the cheaper option. CTA trains and busses accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and contactless credit cards.
Travel Note
Uber/Lyft is always an option as well from the airport, this is the more expensive option but more convenient. Depending on traffic it could take up to 50 minutes to get from O'Hare to Navy Pier by Uber/Lyft. Set your drop-off location to the Sable Hotel at 900 E Grand Ave.
