McCormick Place Hyatt

McCormick Place Hyatt

Vacation planning is underway in our home. We try to coordinate with as many of the older/married children’s schedules as we can. One of our trips recently was to Chicago where we stayed at the McCormick Place Hyatt. It was a whirlwind trip and we are planning on returning this summer when we can take our time and see all the local attractions.

Having not spent time in the city before, I was thrilled to see how centrally located this place was to everything!

For anyone in the Chicago area looking for a comfortable place to rest your head during your travels, may I suggest looking no further than the McCormick Place Hyatt? With sweeping views of Lake Michigan and designed to make you feel at home while being away from home, the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place hotel is the place to be if you’re on the hunt for a luxurious place to call home for the duration of your stay. Named the fifth largest Hyatt hotel in the world, the Chicago Regency McCormick Place is home to 1,258 newly renovated guestrooms that boast views of the city, lake and museum campus.

I had to laugh at all the signs – reminding guests to be quiet after 9:00PM and before 7:00 AM..makes me wonder if being so close to the convention center on game nights makes this place rock!

Key hotel features to take note of if you’re considering a stay at the Hyatt include but aren’t limited to:

• PDA & Express Checkout available.
• Hertz Car Rentals.
• Flexible Meeting Rooms.
• Sauna.
• Indoor Heated Lap Pool.
• Jogging/Walking Trails along Lake Michigan.
• Sun deck.

• Executive Suite. Offers a spacious layout for guests to enjoy as well as a breathtaking view of the windy city.
• City View King. Guests can enjoy views of the Chicago Skyline while spending downtime in the contemporary King Guestroom.
• Standard. Each of these contemporary styled rooms offers a King sized Hyatt Grand Bed along with high speed internet access, 37″ flat screen and in-room dining service.
• Accessible. These Americans with Disabilities Act compliant guestrooms feature a king bed and accessible shower. It also features some nifty accessories like lowered shelves, lowered thermostat and light switches, bathroom grab bars and more, all to be more easily accessible to those with disabilities.
• View. Guests can view both Museum Campus and Lake Michigan from their room. Each of these luxurious rooms include a Hyatt Grand Bed, high speed internet access and lavish bath complete with designer bath products.

The hallways were wide and well lit. This is important to me since I travel with young children.

 

The workstation area was large and had more than enough lighting!

 

The gym was pretty impressive! They had more than enough equipment for several people to workout at the same time and even offered headphones and chilled towels.

One note here… parking is a nightmare in and around Chicago. The hotels charge between $30 and $100 for parking in addition to your room fees. We were able to include parking in our room rate through Priceline so I would think about looking there or asking the clerk when making direct reservations.
