Hilton Opens Tri-Branded Property in Chicago

Hilton announces the opening of McCormick Place – Hilton’s first tri-branded property, located in Chicago’s South Loop and Motor Row District.  

The three properties are:

  • The Hilton Garden Inn Chicago McCormick Place (184 rooms)
  • Hampton Inn by Hilton Chicago McCormick Place (187 rooms)
  • Home2Suites by Hilton Chicago McCormick Place (95 suites)

The properties are connected to the convention center via a skybridge, and next to Wintrust Arena.

“Hilton is passionate about delivering exceptional travel experiences and continually looking for opportunities to add value for our guests,” said Bill Duncan, Global Head, All Suites and Focused Service Category, Hilton. “This milestone tri-brand property embodies that spirit. Bringing together these three category-leading brands and their signature, yet distinct, offerings under one roof provides travelers with a wealth of shared amenities, and the opportunity to enjoy the warmth and hospitality of Hilton through an innovative lodging option that fits a variety of travel needs and desired price points.”

Rooftop dining will be available at the VU Skyward Bev & Eat, which plans to open in the fall of 2018.

First Hospitality Group, Inc. who is managing the property, Founder and Chairman, Stephen Schwartz states:

“This tri-brand hotel will serve as a convenient ‘one-stop-shop’ for convention-goers looking to rest and recharge or enjoy the local flavors of Chicago while remaining just steps from their convention events. It is also a great option for guests traveling with larger groups or extended families, as everyone can stay under one roof despite having varied preferences on room-type and price-point.”

The venue will definitely serve the convention market well.
