HOTEL LOBBIES: A PLACE FOR ART

Check out the orange Chihuly  sculpture. 
Elegant hotel lobbies are always interesting places to visit, to sit and just take in the sites.  Sometimes
the artwork alone is worth the price of admittance.  So taking in the sites is just what I did at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare, Chicago, actually Rosemont.  

This particular trip did not allow me any time to site-see. Either the traffic was too intense, my presence was required on the showroom floor, or exhaustion prevented me from going around town. No matter. My philosophy is to always notice the nuances where I am at the present moment. 

The Chicago Travel and Adventure Show reserved a block of rooms for exhibitors at a very reasonable price. Meals were included in my two night stay.  

This elegant hotel is quite the sleeper, pun intended. It underwent a $64 million dollar face lift back in 2009.  It shows. It oozes elegance and a trendy streamlined design with high back leather chairs by sleek vertical fireplaces. There were several socially intimate spaces in the lobby just for lounging. Besides, the Hyatt O'Hare is also known as a hip, stylish spot for dining or relaxing. 

Restaurants are wonderful and the food is delish and tasty. This is not the way an airport hotel should look because it is so immensely beautiful.  And I can still feel the softness of the Hyatt Regency Grand Bed Sleep System -- worth every penny. 

In my limited spare time, I was able to explore a beautiful glass stairway topped with an orange Chihuly sculpture. What an homage to Dale Chihuly.  There is something about glass that makes a building so much "more".  This is the place. Visit. Take it in. 

The place has over 1,000 rooms and 11 floors. A glass elevator whisks guests to their rooms. Staff is so friendly and always on their toes.  About an hour from downtown, this glass structure is worth the view.
