NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization), founded in 1949, will hold its summit in Chicago this year making it the first American city other than Washington to host a NATO summit.

2012: New Year, New Numbers: Taking a Look at the Chicago Business and Hotel Projections

Posted on December 6, 2011 by BurrRidge

With the New Year quickly approaching, many companies are projecting their outlook on business travel and the hotel industry. Many companies are cutting down on travel expenses and shifting to regional meetings as an alternative to one national conference in order to diminish company travel expenses.

What does this mean for the City of Chicago? Good news. The Chicago hotel industry will most likely continue its rebound in 2012. Chicago’s slow recovery is expected to lead to a growth in hotel demand in 2012 and 2013 and hotel performance is likely to continue to improve year-over-year. Many hotels in and around the Chicago area target transient corporate groups in order to book a substantial percentage of their rooms and therefore increase revenue. Some companies are making Chicago their destination for regional meetings instead of planning one large national event.

Because the Chicago hotel industry experiences significant seasonality, the market demand fluctuates predictably in monthly patterns throughout the year. With June, July, September and October representing the high seasons for the Chicago hotel industry (leisure and commercial), many hotels are booked up and availability is slim. Why not plan a business meeting or conference at one of the four hotels in nearby Burr Ridge during these months where rates are lower, rooms are available, meeting rooms are plentiful and you’re still close by to downtown Chicago for those who prefer the city shopping and nightlife? Since the four Burr Ridge Hotels operate with the same great service year round, anytime is a great time to visit, whether it is with a few coworkers or the entire company.

McCormick Place, the largest convention center in the United States, targets mid-sized conventions and tradeshows, also increasing the bookings in many downtown Chicago hotels. Why not pass on low room availability and skyrocketing room rates and head to one of the four Burr Ridge Hotels (Marriott Southwest Chicago, SpringHill Suites, Extended StayAmerica and the Quality Inn & Conference Center). Just 18 miles from downtown Chicago, enjoy a breath of fresh air and comforting service in a more tranquil, yet upscale neighborhood. No need to deal with the hassles and high prices of downtown, the Burr Ridge Hotels will accommodate you. Free on-site parking and minutes away from the train station, Burr Ridge is the “natural alternative” to downtown Chicago headaches, hassles and high prices.

Feeling the Stress of the Holiday Season Setting in? 5 Easy Tips for Early Holiday Shopping in and Around Chicago!

Posted on September 27, 2011 by BurrRidge

Always scrambling at the last minute for holiday gift ideas for the relatives? Why not get ready early and skip the last-minute shopping stress? In and around Chicago shopping is made easy! Make your first stop at the Burr Ridge Village Center which features more than 50 specialty stores. Relax, enjoy and recharge after a long day of shopping at one of the four Burr Ridge Hotels. With over 15 malls in 10 square miles shopping for your father-in-law is just as easy as finding a gift for your daughter! Here are 5 easy Holiday shopping tips that will put your mind at ease.

  1. Avoid shopping on weekends. You may think that this is the oldest rule in the book but it slips the mind when holiday stress sets in. Although parking can always be an issue in a large city such as Chicago, deciding to shop on a weekday can save you an incredible amount of time as well as sanity that can be used to visit with family and friends.
  2. Pay attention to hobbies and interests. Paying attention to favorite hobbies or pastimes can save an incredible amount of time when assembling a gift list for family and friends. Try to jot notes down while you remember them throughout the year so that when holiday shopping season rolls around you’ll already be prepared!
  3. Plan a shopping route before you hit the road. Stay on track with time management as well as money management by mapping out your stops the day before the big shopping trip. Planning a route and sticking to it forces time management as well as money management! Avoiding unnecessary stops can save a lot of money in the long run.
  4. If you’re from out of town stay overnight at a hotel that offers free on-site parking such as one of the four Burr Ridge Hotels. Ditching the car at the hotel and hopping on the train into the city eliminates parking and traffic headaches and is a sure way to arrive in Chicago without any wrong turns or parking tickets!
  5. Avoid the city altogether and hit local suburban malls for great deals without the hustle and bustle on the Magnificent Mile in Downtown Chicago. Try Woodfield Mall or Oakbrook Center for reasonably priced to upscale shopping.

All of these tips can help you and your family make holiday shopping in and around Chicago successful and as stress-free as possible. Enjoy these tips and shop til you drop!

Bike Through Fall in Scenic Chicago!

What sounds nicer than biking down a scenic byway or through a park during the peak of fall with a gentle breeze flowing by you? Sounds like a scene in a movie – but now YOU can experience all of it! With the temperatures slowly dropping and the breeze turning from chilly to cold, September is the perfect month to take a leisurely bike ride through some of Chicago’s loveliest and charming parks, but hurry up, the weather won’t stay this way too long! Take a weekend trip to Burr Ridge, just 19 miles outside of Chicago, and enjoy spectacular scenic views as well as charming hospitality. Enjoy yourself and enjoy everything the Burr Ridge Hotels have to offer.

Bicycles are available to rent for a few hours or a few days from many local vendors around town, I simply did a quick Google search for ‘Bike rentals in Chicago’ and found a few neat places. Bike and Roll Chicago provides bicycle tours, Segway tours and Surry cycle tours around Chicago and provides a guide unless you prefer to sightsee at your own pace. The tours around Chicago provide guests with stunning photo-ops as well as a brief history of the city while biking through some of the neatest parts of town. You can check out maps of the tours here.

Whether you like to bike, jog, walk or take a drive on your motorcycle Chicago has some of the most spectacular and stunning picturesque views around. Here’s a small list of parks, trails and recreation areas that you and your family and friends can all enjoy together.

Ice Age National Scenic Trail – The trail travels through the edges of the glacier that passed into Wisconsin 15,000 years ago!

Illinois and Michigan Canal National Heritage Corridor – This corridor connected the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River watershed along an Indian portage route. This trail quickly transformed Chicago from a small settlement to a critical transportation hub between the East and the developing Midwest.

Scenic Byways (Illinois River Road) – The Illinois River valley shows off the river winding its way through a landform carved by glacial melt water. Seasonal colors of the forests, wetlands, bluffs and prairies are awe-inspiring. A must see!

Scenic Byways (Lincoln Highway) – Travel on Lincoln Highway, the United States’ first paved transcontinental highway while enjoying incredible views of nature outside of the city.

Enjoy the brisk autumn weather taking in the sights and smells of Chicago’s most prized parks and greenways, but when the temperature drops and a warm bed and a nice meal is music to your ears, head over to one of the four Burr Ridge Hotels.
