O’Hare Airport Hotels

Bundle packages

Instead of waking up at crazy hours or battling through commuter traffic to get to the airport on time, many fliers are opting for “park and fly” or “parksleepfly” packages instead. These packages are bundles created by ORD hotels with parking. The packages offer parking at discounted rates and include one night’s stay in the package as well.

Business travelers, young families, and older travelers typically prefer these packages because it allows them some buffer space before heading to the airport. Spending the night close to the airport gives travelers time to pick up any forgotten necessities, recuperate after a long drive, or work on a last-minute project. Having a few hours to rest, shower and mentally prepare for an extended trip or flight can make a big difference in the travel experience.
