Loews Chicago O’Hare Unveils Renovation

Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel completed its multimillion-dollar renovation. Included in the project is a newly revamped 53,000 square feet of meeting and event space as well as newly designed guest rooms. The property is located minutes from Chicago O’Hare International Airport.

“We are excited to be able to offer an even more elevated experience near O’Hare International Airport,” said Hans Ritten, general manager, Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel. “The sophisticated new design created by Simeone Deary Design Group brings elements of Chicago into the hotel at every corner.”

Interior design firm Simeone Deary Design Group, who balanced integration of nature with structure and moments of restful pause throughout the design. Inspired by “a walk in the park,” the design reflects architectural inspiration from iconic structures in Chicago such as Pritzker Pavilion, Cloud Gate, and Crown Fountains, as well as elements of nature through texture and color reflecting the green space found throughout the city that is a juxtaposition against the built environment.

As guests enter the hotel, a floor-to-ceiling green moss wall provides a sense of nature reflecting Chicago’s many green spaces. The adjacent broken rock and concrete that hover effortlessly before a diaphanous image of Daniel Burnham’s historic plan for the City and Grant Park, also known as Chicago’s Front Yard, reflects the city’s history and industry.

Artwork, a collection of rotating pieces of contemporary works including photos, paintings, and mixed media in addition to a number of permanent pieces, flank the walls of the hallways leading to the meeting and event spaces much like the halls of an art museum.

The hotel’s 556 guest rooms including 60 suites now feature warm wood tones, garden greens, and cool concretes invoke a restful pause in an inviting space.

The Ashburn restaurant, inspired by Chicago’s first airport, Ashburn Flying Field, celebrates the heritage and tradition of aviation. The Ashburn’s offerings include unique twists and modern interpretations of classic American cuisine in a contemporary and relaxed gastropub setting.

The hotel boasts 53,000 square feet of meeting and event space, including four grand ballrooms that are split on both sides of the property, 34 meeting rooms and nine private boardrooms. The Ashburn, also offers private dining rooms and event spaces.

The hotel has a fitness center that is open 24 hours a day and offers complimentary shuttle service between O’Hare International Airport and the hotel.
