New Eco-Savvy InterContinental Chicago O’Hare Utilizes 100% Renewable Energy

Chicagoland’s new eco-savvy and luxury destination hotel, the 556-room InterContinental Chicago O’Hare, is going above and beyond in its quest to lighten businesses’ impact on the environment. Not only does the sophisticated, design-forward property utilize 100% renewable energy credits from wind, but the InterContinental Chicago O’Hare also features a green roof, recycles all materials used throughout its hotel and convention area, and helps businesses and organizations support sustainability with its “Green Meetings” program.

“The InterContinental Chicago O’Hare is dedicated to significantly lessening our carbon footprint on the earth, as well as raising awareness in our community about the importance of preserving our natural resources,” said David Hall, general manager of the InterContinental Chicago O’Hare. A contemporary destination for business and leisure travelers alike that opened September 8, 2008, the property is managed by Portfolio Hotels and Resorts, which also operates one of the first LEED-certified hotels in the U.S.

Located five minutes from the Chicago O’Hare International Airport, the InterContinental Chicago O’Hare is near the Allstate Arena, Rosemont Theatre and Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. For reservations, please call 847-544-5300, or visit www.icohare.com.
