Top Hotels Near Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
Hilton Rosemont Chicago O'Hare
8.2 Rating (671 Reviews)
0.1 miles from Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
5550 N River Rd, Rosemont, IL 60018
The only hotel with a covered walkway directly into the convention center. Skip the weather entirely: walk from your room to the exhibit hall without stepping outside, which matters during Chicago's subzero winter trade shows.
Crowne Plaza Chicago Ohare Hotel & Conf Ctr by IHG
8.1 Rating (1,901 Reviews)
0.2 miles from Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
5440 N River Rd, Rosemont, IL 60018
Fifty-five thousand square feet of its own conference space makes this a backup venue when your side meetings outgrow a hotel lobby. The 503-room footprint absorbs large group blocks without the sold-out scramble that hits smaller Rosemont properties during peak conventions.
Hyatt Regency O'Hare Chicago
8.3 Rating (2,826 Reviews)
0.2 miles from Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
9300 Bryn Mawr Ave, Rosemont, IL 60018
Connected to the convention center by an indoor skyway, so the commute is climate-controlled year-round. With 1,095 rooms and 100,000 sq ft of meeting space, the Hyatt Regency doubles as a convention campus of its own: host breakout sessions without crossing a parking lot.
Aloft Chicago O'Hare
8.5 Rating (1,043 Reviews)
0.3 miles from Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
9700 Balmoral Ave, Rosemont, IL 60018
A social lobby replaces the stuffy business-hotel formula, and the Parkway Bank Park entertainment district sits across the street. Re:Fuel keeps you caffeinated between sessions, and the 24-hour business center handles last-minute print jobs when the convention center's services close.
Loews Chicago O'Hare Hotel
8.9 Rating (1,565 Reviews)
0.3 miles from Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
5300 N River Rd, Rosemont, IL 60018
The highest-rated hotel in the Rosemont cluster, and the only one where Frette Italian sheets and rainfall showerheads signal a tier above convention-standard comfort. The Ashburn restaurant serves American dishes that hold up against a client dinner, not just a room-service default.
The Rose Chicago, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
8.9 Rating (722 Reviews)
0.6 miles from Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
5200 Pearl Street, Rosemont, IL 60018
Boutique scale in a convention town: 165 rooms keep the atmosphere quieter than the 500-plus-room properties closer to the venue. Eight on-site meeting rooms handle pre-convention prep or quick strategy sessions without the trek back to the exhibit hall.
Chicago Marriott Suites O'Hare
8.6 Rating (493 Reviews)
0.7 miles from Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
6155 North River Road, Rosemont, IL 60018
Every room is a suite with a separate living area and sofa bed, which turns multi-day conventions into something closer to a temporary office. Six1Five5, the on-site American restaurant, runs breakfast buffets starting at 6:30 AM on weekdays: early enough for morning exhibitors.
The Westin O'Hare
8.8 Rating (873 Reviews)
0.7 miles from Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
6100 N River Rd, Rosemont, IL 60018
Forty-six meeting rooms and 12,069 sq ft of dedicated conference space make the Westin a convention within the convention. Benchmark Gastropub handles post-event dinners on property, and 24-hour room service means late arrivals from West Coast flights still eat a real meal.
Hampton Inn & Suites Rosemont Chicago O'Hare
8.8 Rating (1,054 Reviews)
0.9 miles from Donald E. Stephens Convention Center
9480 W Higgins Road, Rosemont, IL 60018
Complimentary breakfast and an indoor pool at the lowest star rating on this list: the budget pick that does not sacrifice guest satisfaction. Rivers Casino sits across the street for post-convention downtime, and the 24-hour airport shuttle keeps the O'Hare connection effortless.
