Hilton Worldwide and First Hospitality Group Inc. have announced a partnership that will result in a triple-branded hotel adjacent to McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill. The property, which will be 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, broke ground in January and is expected to open in late 2018, bringing with it 350 full-time jobs and an array of new dining options in addition to hotel rooms.
“We are extremely excited to be developing and managing Hilton’s first triple-brand hotel, a unique opportunity that has enabled us to create a wealth of new employment opportunities and spur continued economic development within the local community,” said FHG’s Founder and Chairman, Stephen Schwartz. “McCormick Place has long needed fresh lodging options for visitors, and the award-winning upscale character of Hilton Garden Inn, the friendly yet authentic experience at Hampton and the modern approach to extended stay offered by Home2 Suites, will appeal to travelers with a wide variety of tastes, styles and desired price points.”
