The international brand of upscale, all-suite, residential-style hotels, has opened the 81-suite hotel in Orland Park, near Chicago, Illinois.

The hotel is owned by Orbitz Group LLC and managed by Schulte Hospitality Group and represents another addition to the growing roster of more than 220 Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels nationwide.

Located one mile form the Orland Square shopping mall and the Orland Park Ice Arena, the Homewood Suites by Hilton Orland Park recognizes that demand for its extended stay features is heightened given its proximity to a major retail center. The Homewood Suites offers guests a place to rest their feet after a long day of shopping.

Shoppers also have the option of making the shopping trip an overnight visit, as opposed to simply a day trip. "This build demonstrates Homewood Suites' continued foray into a wide variety of markets, and we are excited to offer this property as an attractive option to those visiting the Orland Park area," said the hotels General Manager, Tom Fidanza. "We are thrilled to be part of Homewood Suites' continued growth and development."

The Homewood Suites by Hilton Orland Park address is: 16245 Lagrange Road, Orland Park, IL 60467. The hotel is also conveniently located near many local businesses and attractions including Panduit, Formax, Soldier Field, and Midwest Bank Arena. The four-story Homewood Suites by Hilton Orland Park features residential-style studio, one- bedroom and two-bedroom suites with fully equipped kitchens and spacious sleeping and living areas that are large enough for work, study, entertaining or relaxing.

In an effort to help guests be more productive, complimentary high-speed Internet is available in each guest suite, as well as in the Lodge and meeting rooms. In addition, the Hilton Family of Hotels custom-designed its own clock for each guest suite, featuring one of the easiest-to-set alarms. Each suite features a connection cable for MP3 players and other portable music devices including Ipods , an addition Hilton made after research revealed that consumers prefer to maintain their own music lifestyles while on the road.
