O’Hare for Families

One big travel industry name upping the game in the family travel industry: Hilton Chicago O’Hare. As the only hotel with an underground walkway directly connecting travelers from O’Hare International Airport to the comforts of the Hilton Chicago O’Hare, it’s a welcome reprieve for weary travelers — especially families. Think spacious accommodations with room for the kids to spread out and run around, swimming pools and other amenities like travel kits.

For families with time between flights and destinations, consider the all-new, sound-resistant Family Suite. The sound-resistant aspect is interesting to note, as it adds a sense of comfort to the family stay experience knowing you’ll be less likely to get complaints and eye rolls in the hall for noisy kids. Families can lounge in the large sitting area with a sofa bed for extra sleeping space. The king-sized bed, black-out curtains, WiFi and 42-inch HDTV with on-demand movies, shows and video games all add a touch of home comforts.

For the active travelers in the family, the fitness center is an incredible 8,000-square-foot space offering an indoor lap pool and sauna to get active, relax and unwind all in one. Bring your suit and change in the full-service locker room, workout, cool off, clean up and enjoy some “me time” before rejoining the family for your flight. You can even find a personal training video on demand through the hotel’s Mobi PT app.

Another aspect of the stay that could make families lives all the easier is the O’Hare Kids Kit. This complimentary service keeps your kids entertained, busy and happy during the flight with a bag of goodies, including a customized coloring book, toys and even a luggage tag to put on their bag. Travel kits vary by children, age and interest, but all add a nice touch to the family vacation and send the kids off with a fun memory and memento.

Check out other family-friendly amenities and accommodation options, including free breakfast and special AAA member discounts. Whether you’re in Chicago for just a day or two, or between flights, the attention to detail for families, specifically, will be enough of a draw — even before all the discounts and perks. The ease and comfort of knowing your room is a short walk to and from the airport, cutting out early-morning rides and stress, is a gamechanger.
