IHG has opened a dual-branded hotel close to
O’Hare International Airport (ORD) in the Chicago suburb of
Rosemont, Illinois.
Located within five miles of their namesake, the Holiday
Inn and Staybridge Suites O’Hare Airport feature 139 rooms and 145
suites, respectively, spread over nine floors.
The Holiday Inn portion of the property is the first in the
Americas to feature the brand’s refreshed H5 guest room
design concepts, while the adjoining Staybridge Suites section
maintains its signature spacious, feel-at-home suites and weekly
“The Social” public area happy hour gatherings.
The property shares
common areas and amenities, including an indoor pool, fitness
center, over 9,000 square feet of meeting and event space, Land &
Lake Restaurant, and an outdoor patio and grills.
Beyond serving as a convenient haven for
travellers
and those visitng the nearby Allstate Arena, Rosemont Theatre,
Donald E. Stephens Convention Center and Parkway Bank Park
Entertainment District, Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites O’Hare
Airport also represents the latest addition to IHG’s growing
dual-branded hotel portfolio and follows the recent opening of a
voco hotel and Holiday Inn property in Chicago’s Downtown Wolf
Point area.
“In recent years, we’ve seen
greater interest in dual-branded properties among owners seeking
more efficient and cost-conscious ways to streamline operations
while introducing guests to a broader range of brands and
offerings,” said Kevin Schramm, SVP, Mainstream – U.S. and Canada
for IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites O’Hare Airport
exemplifies our ongoing efforts to develop new and flexible
designs that bring the best and most in-demand elements of our
complementary brands together, all while extending our reach in a
fantastic market like Chicago.”
Holiday Inn and Staybridge Suites O’Hare Airport
operates under the ownership of Gateway Investment Partners and
management of Hostmark Hospitality Group, a Schaumburg, Illinois-based
hospitality company with 32 managed limited and full-service
properties across the U.S. and Egypt.
Hostmark Hospitality Group’s
engagement with IHG now includes four owned and seven managed
hotels, including oversight of the voco Chicago Downtown and
Holiday Inn Chicago Downtown – Wolf Point dual-branded property.
