The WORST possible place for you to be. Security escorted me out from 1871 when I was there for an event without listening to my side of the story. They are very Islamaphobe and biased to their “paying” customers. The private security firm that manages it does everything beyond keeping the place safe. I used to love going there but it doesnt feel like a safe place to me anymore. I advise people not to go.

Beautiful building with a decent food court. The marble steps are def worth the visit.

Have Always Loved the Mart, its a market for interior designers.Enjoyed working there in the late 90s, early 2000.

All the beautiful appliances, furniture and finishing that you can install in your home is there. Merchandise Mart is a historic spot in Chicago. Lavish, beautiful interior, great location.

The food court is empty so its pretty much a covid free safe zone

Great collection of food joints for quick bites during work hours, with added convenience of metra station. Several high end shops inside, which are pricy but great to have around.

Indoor specialized shopping for household accessories such as flooring, kitchen, bath, etc. It has a small food court too. Amazon GO shop accepts returns for your Amazon shopping.

A true landmark withall the trappings of the old days, along with Barney and friends..... just like MayBerry.

Wonderful building. Aside from the fact that you get no cellular service, its a great place to be. Tons of wonderful companies such as 1871 and Matter exist here, and then there are a plethora of stores and restaurants with good food to enjoy. Access to the Brown and Purple line is available through the second floor of the building, so there really isnt much you have to want for or stress about while youre here.

Iconic structure along the Chicago River.

We enjoyed the One of a Kind Showtremendously. The only problem was the cost of the parking, however, it cant be avoided in Chicago. Next time well use a discount source, mine had expired. The artists and offerings were great at the show. Like anything, you need to plan ahead what youre looking for and what booth to go to. We plan on going in April for the spring One of a Kind Show .

I was a bit skeptical about calling the merchandise mart The Mart, (ugh...first the Sears Tower, then the Hancock, and now this, too?? just...ugh!!! but, still, was I there for the very first outdoor digital display? The worlds largest and everything?? Indeed I was. And The Mart, or whatever were supposed to call it these days, was GLORIOUS.

Such an amazingly historic and modern building at the same time. I’ve vended here at the OOAK Chicago show before and really enjoyed the experience. Things are well run and the location and space is incredible. Make sure to find the food court in the back corner of the building.

Beautiful building full of shops, restaurants sand showroomsfor clothing and furniture companies .Each floor is so huge you might lose your bearings.Connected by a sky bridge: ti the Holiday Inn next door.

If you are looking for modern vanities, cabinets, or even kitchen and bathroom accessories this is the place!

I work in this area, super close to public transportation,and favorite coffee place is here (DD).

Gorgeous clothing. Gifts. Tile store

Just Amazing Architecture. I was there for the Chicago Collective a superb collection of Menswear resource and Fabulous party to boot.

Great bar,great food options (food court), beautiful building

For anyone involved in home design, especially baths and kitchens, this place is it. They have an incredible selection of designers and design components to bring absolutely any dream to life. We live to walk through and dream, but also to get ideas to a apply when we dont have a 6 figure per room design budget.

I love to come here to find the latest home designs. Including doors, fixtures, and furniture. All high end items, really gets the creative mind flowing!

Interesting place to see but if you have limited time in Chicago you can safely skip seeing this building.Only thing that bothered me is that, even though there are plany of toilets in the mall they are mostly locked for the staff and a few left for malls customers are quite tiny.

Certainly is an impressive building.You have everything you need here you can get ideas what you can do or would like to do the building is office space, shops restaurants and show rooms.They also have cooking school or classes here.Free wifi access to the train, I did notice that the open hours are 9-9 but I was out and about at 0630 and the doors were open.

Didnt go inside but enjoyed the light show on the exterior, riverfront side. You can tune into a radio station that accompanies the lights.

A beautiful design meeting place in the heart of the city. So many high end designer home appliance and furniture and kitchen and bathroom and ... it’s H U G E !! Love it !

Huge mega construction besides the Michigan lake. Be careful from which gate you enter and exit , you can easily get lost. Lost of food options and bars available on the ground floor

18th Floor is where Hu resides... Soon to be 19th -- but TheElevator does go higher#SufiSecrets #ConstructiveFeedback #Mastwaar

One of the Great Buildings and Experiences of the World! If you love design, furniture and technology you will get lost inside one of the biggest physical structures on the Planet! From Motorola to Steelcase to 1871 its in here!

Awesome architecture and great to walk through. Food court is nice. The video that plays at night is so cool.

Visited a show there & loves it. What an iconic beautiful building.

Everything at one place. Shops, Offices, Foodcourt. Brown/Purple line drops you right at the mart. Foodcourt has plenty of food options as well as Starbucks and Dunkin inside it. A bridge connects mart with Holiday Inn and other offices. Building gets lighted up in the evening which is amazing. Its close to river walk and other amazing places.

Checked top 5 hotels interior decorations. Hilton Chicago is the best design!

Very big an elegant mall. Lots of very iluminated stairwells, nice foodcourt, tons of kitchen contractors. It has a lot of space to walk, so this makes merchandise mart one of my favorite places to visit during the winter.

Its a must go in Chicago. Besides been a metro station, the Mart its an incredible building with an exception architecture. It has a lot of shops and place to have breakfast, lunch or dinmer. The First floor its full of kitchen manufacturers so if u are thinking about rebuilding your home you will definitely go there! Its also place for the offices of big corporations as Motorola.

Great food court, but the bathrooms didnt have a changing table. Am I supposed to change my babys diaper in the middle of the food court?

This place is incredible. So many businesses, shops and restaurants located inside. This building is also huge. One of the coolest things I saw when walking around was they had this huge projector that was displaying the news and had red cushions on like big stairs where people were sitting eating their lunch. I thought that was very unique.

Love going to the Neo Com show in spring. Cant wait for this year

I was impressed by the sheer number of shops and businesses that exist within this building. Not only are you going to find some of the top brands in interior design, but theres also plenty of other places to check out while youre there as well.

Full of history... A perfect blend of old and modern architectural finishes...

A fantastic building filled with history and fostering the great companies of tomorrow

Best place for home design and decor in the Midwest.

A Beautiful Place with Lots of food court, sorrunded with some lovely homes and safety. A Place to Enjoy

The merchandise mart is a great place and have a nice bar called Marshall Landing. There is a nice food court. It gets directly to the CTA and you see a lot of professional people there.

A remarkable collection of furniture and interior design shops, all under one roof.

The mart is a cool spot, but the college dorm theme isnt my favorite. There are nice, tech equipped conference rooms and the location is conducive to good collaboration, but Ive honestly never heard of a single techy collaboration come from that area. The easy survey service they have also didnt work on my pixel. It was pretty disappointing for a tech spot. Outside of the dorm themed common areas the theme is overly severe and too florescent looking.

Interesting place. I have yet to explore the entire building but I do enjoy the events they host and the sculptures / artwork they have to present on select days.

I wasnt allowed cookie for my birthday coupon they said cookie not a baked item.

I have never been. Would like to go one day.

This is one large building and has several great places to eat and visit.

Great space! Interesting Trade Shows and Events

I work here. The second floor has a lot of good food and its not far from parking or public transportation.

The Chopping Blocks Wellness Bootcamp was really fun. JC is a very charismatic teacher and all of the staff were very friendly.

I have to go here for work meetings. I cant decide if Id rather be at work, or go to these meetings. Luckily my work pays for parking but otherwise if I had to pay for parking that would be abysmal. Its a very busy area theres a huge Starbucks inside which is nice other than that, as far as the shopping it looks pretty standard

A good place for designers to go for furnishings and ideas.

Sitting area at Marshalls landing is great and great selection on the second floor for food

The place has changed much. I hadnt been there for at least 10 years. The shopping section definitely improved.

Incredible selection of high end furnishings! Gave me ideas for my own home.

Went to look at kitchen appliances and bathroom appliances. Theres so much to see just on the first floor. Will go back and look some more.

One of A Kind Show was wonderful, so many talented artists and unique art displays, jewelry and fashion... will be returning next year!

Such awesome furniture here!!! Any thing you could imagine! Really cool stuff!

Beautiful showrooms and friendly staff. Sort of difficult to navigate without knowing exactly what you want. Still a great time.

Fun night of cooking. Had to share cooking activities with another couple. If you go with friends, ok. If you go as a date, could be a bit disappointing to share with strangers.

Iconic, gigantic, & lively. Can not imagine any other workplace than this.

I go here for the food and the train.Other then the estimated time always being off, I really dont have anything bad to say about this place.

I work in the building sometimes very smooth environment! And I love the music!

I was impressed by the sheer number of shops and businesses that exist within this building. Not only are you going to find some of the top brands in interior design, but theres also plenty of other places to check out while youre there as well. In particular, I was impressed by the number of restaurants that exist within the Mart. Its nice to have such variety!

Amazing and huge place. This an iconic Chicago building.

Amaizing space for the attended event.

So much to see. Great ideas if your building or renovating a home.

TheMART is the world’s largest commercial building, wholesale design center and one of Chicago’s premier international business locations. Encompassing 4.2 million gross square feet, theMART spans two city blocks and rises 25 stories, and is visited by an average of 25,000 people each business day; in total, nearly 10 million people visit theMART each year.

I love the Mart, always go there for a Kefir smoothie or to grab something at the McDonalds, great place to kill some time.

Great location. So many choices for shopping and food. The building is always so well taken care of. There are countless businesses within the building and their holiday decorations are very impressive. There are many cool places to go and shop within the building

Many options for time spending. Great interior designs.

So many fantastic places on one building. Worth exploring!

Nice old building. The Chicago Bosch Connectory is located there. A hub for IoT entrepreneurs and startups.

My favorite building in Chicago...truly inspirational.

I love the food court . Lot of nice restaurants.

I actually included Merchandise Mart in my walking exercises. Its a great Walk thru to get to the River Walk.

Great place to find high end furnishings.

Such a busy place, great place if you like being around places bustling with activity.

What a dynamic building. Visited Motorola on 18

Lots of services, all you need in one place. You might get lost first time you go but workers are very helpful will help through, thanks guys

I was there for the One of a Kind Show. Huge space.

A nice variety of shopping and eatery! Cant wait to go back!

Lots of food options, great location, great views of the Chicago River!

Easy to get to by public transport. Huge place

Signage and staff have much improved over the years. Plenty to variety for food and beverages.

Fun place to see some fancy merchandise

The Mart in Chicago is an institution. Phenomenal block-sized building, chock full of anything you might need for your home. Grab a designer and have them take you. Need flooring, beautiful tile, fixtures, wall coverings, furniture or just about anything else? You can find out here. Couple times a year the One Of A Kind Sale takes over a floor. Fantastic event full of known, and new, artists, jewellers, designers and foodies.

Always at merchandise mart on thursdays at billy goats buying burgers excellent cheese burgers

I work in the offices in the Mart. Tis a fine building.

LOVE this place. Great Restaurant options and great events throughout the year

Lively, and everything convenient for office tenants. L stops at 2nd floor entrance.

I wasnt too enthused with the changes because there are some restaraunts but mostly home decorating and home remodeling shops. I remember there being a better mixture of eateries, shopping, and home decorating shops in years past. Lots of walking...to your health!

Beautiful building with great spaces inside.

Pick up there as a truck driver

Downtown Chicago is so Beautiful..

Lots of lovely memories every-time I pass this miracle cloud!!!
