CHICAGO/MINNEAPOLIS
Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI) has welcomed a pair of Midwestern properties into its exclusive Four- and Five-Diamond quality portfolio.
Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel, located a five-minute complimentary shuttle ride from Chicago O’Hare International Airport, offers 556 guest rooms and suites, and over 53,000 square feet of meeting space. Formerly known as the InterContinental Chicago O’Hare Hotel before its acquisition by Loews Hotels & Resorts in July 2014, the hotel is across the street from the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, and is adjacent to the newly opened Fashion Outlets of Chicago. The hotel’s meeting space, which includes four grand ballrooms and nine private boardrooms, is fully equipped with top technology such as LCD and digital projectors and Wi-Fi. In addition, private meeting and dining spaces also are available in the restaurants.
Loews Minneapolis Hotel, which is ALHI’s only Member hotel in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” features a location at the center of the business, theater, and entertainment districts in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. Conveniently located directly across the street from the Target Center and connected via the Skyway to some of Minnesota’s Fortune 500 companies, the 251-room hotel was formerly known as Graves 601 Hotel Wyndham Grand before its acquisition by Loews Hotels & Resorts in July 2014. The hotel features over 12,000 square feet of contemporary meeting and event space, which includes a ballroom with two glass-art walls. There are also additional meeting rooms, and 3,500 square feet of pre-function space. In addition, the hotel offers a recently-renovated full-service spa, two restaurants (Cask Cook House, and Cosmos), the sophisticated Relevé bar, and a fitness center.
In addition to their membership in ALHI’s worldwide portfolio, Loews Chicago O’Hare Hotel and Loews Minneapolis Hotel become new additions to ALHI’s “City Solutions Collection” specialty segment, which now features 66 Four- and Five-Diamond quality hotels in distinctive metropolitan areas around the world.
