CHICAGO
First Hospitality Group, Inc. (FHG) and Hilton announced a partnership to bring Hilton’s first triple-brand hotel, consisting of a Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton, to North America’s largest convention center, McCormick Place. Construction has already begun on the property.
“We are pleased to partner with FHG on this one-of-a-kind project, a venture which is a true testament to the value proposition delivered to the owners of Hilton’s growing number of multi-brand hotels,” said Jim Holthouser, executive vice president, Global Brands, Hilton. “Serving as a premier hub of international commerce attracting nearly three million visitors a year, McCormick Place is the ideal location to build Hilton’s first triple-brand hotel and bring even greater exposure to [our brands].”
Officially named the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago McCormick Center, the Hampton Inn by Hilton Chicago McCormick Center, and the Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago McCormick Center, the project is expected to bring nearly 350 full-time jobs and more than 600 construction jobs to the local community.
The triple-brand hotel will be connected via skybridge to the convention center and is slated to open in late 2018. Upon its completion, the hotel will include 23 floors and a collective 466 guest rooms.
Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton Inn by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton McCormick Center will have three distinct lobbies and dining areas—each catering to the needs of their respective guests—while sharing many common amenities, including six rooms of meeting space totaling roughly 7,000 square feet.
