Today we’re in Chicago taking a look at aLoft Chicago O’Hare, a new concept from Starwood and W Hotels. aLoft’s have been opening up all around the country, and this one is the company’s largest. Conveniently located just minutes from Chicago O’Hare International Airport, guests will enjoy a refreshing airport hotel experience that is both hip and budget minded. aLoft hotels have taken cues from W Hotels, but have packaged many of W’s best features in a more cost conscious package.

Although every aLoft property is almost a mirror image of each other, this one is a bit larger at 251 rooms. Guests are welcomed by a lobby space dubbed “Remix” a wonderful area to relax, enjoy the complimentary wireless internet or play a game of pool.

aLoft Lobby “Remix” and Quick Dining “Refuel”

aLoft offers only standard guest rooms with an option of 1 King Bed or 2 Queen Beds.  Guest rooms provide ample space to relax or work, and feature flat panel LCD televisions along with comfortable bedding.  Similar to the lobby space, rooms are contemporary and appointed in a hip “W Hotel-esque” way.  Bathrooms are creative and laid out in an open format with plenty of mirrors and plenty of conveniences such as in-room coffee makers, magazines and Bliss Spa amenities.  Bathrooms feature glass enclosed showers, a feature that we like at TripKick.com.  Although not necessarily a view hotel, select guest rooms feature views of Chicago O’Hare Airport, by request.
