A "transportation gateway" to the city, this new facility houses Amtrak's rail connections from the Milwaukee Airport train station. If you will be flying into the O’Hare International Airport in Chicago and are not renting a car, you can take the Amtrak train from Union Station to the Milwaukee Intermodal Station. This station is located approximately, 7 minutes walking distance from the Hilton Milwaukee City Center.
