CHICAGO/SEATTLE, August 15, 2017—Officials of The Dow Hotel Company (DHC), a leading national hotel owner/investor and operator, today announced the completion of the $10 million renovation of the Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago O’Hare Airport – Rosemont. The renovation focused on all aspects of the hotel, including guest rooms, public spaces and back-of-house areas.
“With the conclusion of this top-to-bottom renovation, the hotel has achieved ‘like-new’ status, making it competitive with any product on the market,” said Murray L. Dow II, founder and president, DHC. “In the last 19 years, DHC has overseen 20 renovations of similar scope. The property is positioned to provide experiential travel to upscale business and leisure guests who want something more than the ‘typical’ big-box stay.”
The renovation enhanced virtually all aspects of the hotel. Guest rooms received fresh soft goods, upholstered furniture and artwork. All guest baths gained new tiling, while some were converted to stand-up showers. Public spaces were completely redone, including alterations to the atrium, pool, fitness center, lobby, elevators and employee locker rooms. The business center was upgraded to Embassy Suites by Hilton’s Connectivity Zone with modern furniture. The two executive boardrooms received new tables, wood work, refrigerators and televisions. Exterior hotel improvements range from building enhancements to completely redone landscaping.
“The Embassy Suites by Hilton Chicago O’Hare Airport – Rosemont has 18,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, including a 5,100-square-foot ballroom that can accommodate up to 350 guests,” Dow added. “This gives it some of the largest combined meeting space of any Embassy Suites product in the Midwest.”
Located across from the Donald E. Stephens Convention and Conference Center, the eight-story hotel is a five-minute drive from Chicago O’Hare International Airport and fifteen minutes from downtown Chicago. Guests can enjoy nearby MB Financial Park at Rosemont, a new entertainment complex featuring many restaurants, bowling, a movie theater, a seasonal outdoor ice rink and much more. Additional local attractions include the Allstate Arena, which is home of the Chicago Wolves hockey team, the Rosemont Theater and Rivers Casino.
Hotel amenities include twenty-two conference rooms with connecting suites, a seven-story garden atrium, fully-equipped fitness center, indoor pool and complimentary shuttle service to and from O’Hare Airport. Each of the hotel’s newly renovated, two-room suites features a private bedroom and a separate, well-equipped living room. The living area includes a full-sized sofa bed, work station and ergonomic chair.
In addition to the numerous dining options in the immediate area, guests and locals can enjoy delicious Italian and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine in a casual atmosphere for lunch and dinner in Basil’s Kitchen. Guests also can enjoy a libation while watching flat screen televisions in Basil’s Bar.
