For those planning to stay in downtown Chicago, there are plenty of options. We would recommend staying at an an accommodation in Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Gold Coast, River North, or Loop to enjoy the city. It is about a 40 to 60 min drive from these locations to the Armour House depending on traffic.
For those without a vehicle and planning to take the train to Lake Forest from downtown, we would recommend staying in the West Loop or River North as the Chicago Metra train runs from Union Station to Lake Forest station.

By public transport
If traveling by train, you have two options: the Chicago Metra Milwaukee District North (MD-N) Line or the Union Pacific North (UP-N) Line, both of which stop in Lake Forest—though at separate stations.
The MD-N Line departs from Union Station in downtown Chicago.

Both trains take approximately one hour to reach Lake Forest.
From either Lake Forest station, it's about a 10-minute Uber or taxi ride to the Armour House.
