The ORD Admiral's Club located at the fork of Concourses H and K is very nice and spacious and has full height windows wrapping around two sides which offer marvelous views over gates K and L and T5 in the distance. Make sure you get a drinks coupon at the reception - you'll need this if you want a complimentary bottle of aqua for your onward flight.

Each passenger is entitled to 2-3 sip fulls but as its served into ice fulled plastic cups, half the soda froths over into the trolley drawer.
