Awesome hotel, an island of peace and calm and first class treatment in a sea of chaos at O'Hare airport. Staff, restaurant, services--worth every penny. Early departure? Stay here the night before. We did. Calmly woke up and walked to the terminal thru the underground walkways. Truly pleasant and memorable stay.

Lovely room and spacious bathroom plus all of the high end touches (robes, slippers to soft mats and towels and great bath products and loved the nespresso maker!) View was not great but gym and lobby made up for it; bar was too crowded and we couldn’t get a late checkout but at least it was noon and they held our bags for a few hours!
