About Merchandise Mart

The Merchandise Mart is one of the world's great commercial buildings — a 4.2-million-square-foot Art Deco landmark that served as the largest building on earth when completed in 1930. Today it houses 13 floors of design showrooms and a full event venue operation spanning multiple floors with river views, flexible ballroom spaces, and built-in technology infrastructure. Its location at the confluence of the Chicago River's north and south branches makes it both accessible and visually spectacular.

Aurora is Illinois' second-largest city, and the run to O'Hare along I-88 and the Tri-State (I-294) is a daily reality for its executives and travelers. Our chauffeurs track your flight in real time and time the pickup to your actual landing — no cell-lot waiting, no rushing the Eisenhower. Flat fare locked at booking, gratuity and tolls included.

From Joliet to O'Hare means I-55 north to the Tri-State — a stretch where traffic timing makes or breaks a flight. Our chauffeurs build buffer for the I-55/I-294 interchange and track your inbound flight on the return so you're met at baggage claim, not the curb. One flat fare, no peak pricing, regardless of the hour.

Elgin, IL

O'Hare International Airport (…
35–55 min📍 22 milesFrom $130

Elgin sits a straight shot down the Jane Addams (I-90) from O'Hare, making it one of our quicker northwest-suburb airport runs. Chauffeurs monitor I-90 construction and the Elgin O'Hare (I-490) progress to pick the fastest live route. Flat-fare pricing locked at booking — no metered surprises.

What Our Clients Say

Thousands of Chicago travelers book with Royal Carriage for airports, weddings, and corporate travel.

Our September wedding needed 3 vehicles — a Rolls Royce for us, a stretch limo for the bridal party, and a Sprinter shuttle for 14 guests. Every driver arrived 20 minutes early to the Drake. The coordinator handled our timeline flawlessly from ceremony through the reception at the Peninsula.

Arriving at Merchandise Mart — Merchandise Mart

Arriving at Merchandise Mart

The Merchandise Mart is a 4.2-million-square-foot Art Deco landmark at 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza in River North, set where the Chicago River's branches meet. With 13 floors of showrooms and event spaces across multiple levels, our chauffeur confirms the entrance and floor so guests reach the right space rather than the wrong lobby. The plaza sees heavy downtown traffic and parking is garage-only, so we time the drop-off and hold nearby. For a building this large on the riverfront, a planned arrival point keeps your party from getting lost in one of the world's great commercial buildings.

Events at Merchandise Mart — Merchandise Mart

Events at Merchandise Mart

The Mart hosts up to 2,500 guests across its multi-floor event spaces, running Design Conferences, Trade Shows, Corporate Dinners, and Award Ceremonies with river views and built-in technology. A 2,500-guest arrival at a riverfront landmark needs staged transport so the plaza entrance stays clear. For Corporate Dinners and Award Ceremonies, vehicles sync to the program; Design Conferences and Trade Shows run on session schedules. With the Mart's flexible ballroom spaces drawing large professional crowds, planning against that 2,500 capacity and the River North traffic keeps attendees moving to the correct floor on time.

Getting to Merchandise Mart in style — Merchandise Mart

Getting to Merchandise Mart in style

A 2,500-guest event at the riverfront Mart blends executive arrivals with steady group moves across its 13 floors. A Mercedes Sprinter executive van and Cadillac Escalade deliver leadership to 222 W Merchandise Mart Plaza with comfort, while a Lincoln Navigator carries close groups together between hotels and the venue. For individual VIPs, a Mercedes S-Class handles the door-to-floor arrival at the correct entrance. We match each vehicle to its role across the program, time the pull-up to the dense River North traffic, and confirm the floor in advance so executives reach the right entrance, not the wrong lobby in one of the world's great commercial buildings. Plan the fleet at (224) 801-3090.
