Ideally located just off Interstate 90 and budget friendly, the Clarion Barcelo Hotel stands right across the street from the Chicago El train that whisks folks to O'Hare International Airport and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. Outdoors types can find plenty of fishing and canoeing on the Des Plaines River a mile from the hotel, while golfers can practice their swings at White Pines course nine miles away.
The Clarion Barcelo features an elegant lobby with black-and-white checkered marble floors offset by rich wood columns and accents. An adjacent library features chandelier sconces, leather club chairs, potted palms and heavy drapes to block any highway noise. A work desk in the library offers complimentary, high-speed Internet access. Guests can enjoy the hotel's outdoor heated pool, fitness room, free passes to a more fully stocked health club a block away, and a free airport shuttle. Staff at the front desk can arrange business services, such as faxing, copying and printing. The hotel's Garden Café offers seasonal American cuisine. This being the Windy City, guests also can find plenty of dining options in the area serving everything from steak to sushi.
The hotel's 242 rooms feature paisley-print bedspreads, matching drapes, textured cream-on-cream walls, windows that open, and a host of amenities associated with the nationally known Clarion company.
Guests to Chicago looking for a good value for their bucks and easy access to Chitown's airports will find the Clarion Barcelo Hotel hard to beat. Drivers will especially like the hotel's access to the interstate highway in case they need to get out of town quickly.
