It is shorter to walk at ground level, though you have to cross some roads (there are crosswalks) and I don't think it is signed. One level down there are tunnels which are signed but a little further. That way you enter the Hilton one level down from reception.

Is the reason renovations were delayed here because taxpayers didn't want to fund it (the city owns the hotel)? It seems now that a new agreement is in place to seek funding from elsewhere. Is that accurate?

I know this is an old thread, but thought it was best to post here.
Looking at staying at ORD in late'ish March, prior to a relatively early flight. Obviously, Hilton ORD would be ideal, being able to walk to the terminal, and not having to go outside, vs. a shuttle bus anywhere else, especially traveling with two young kids.
Right now, rates are showing $225/night plus tax. That's seems pricey to me...I get that there is going to be some amount of premium vs. other airport hotels given the convenience, but I'm able to book downtown on the previous nights for ~$150 at various properties, and <$100 at other Hilton properties nearby (Rosemont, etc.). Having never stayed at ORD Hilton (except once where UA paid due to IRROPS), I'm not sure if this rate is relatively normal. Can anyone comment on what a decent, normal rate usually is at this hotel (want to make sure - maybe its my expectations that are out of whack?).

As noted above, that price is not unusual with the ORD Hilton especially when booking in advance. The price will go up and down as your date approaches based upon the weather and flight interruptions. For $100 or more difference in price, I would just book the Rose Hotel or another Rosemont property and then cancel if the ORD price drops and you want the convenience of walking across from the terminal.

In a big, spread out metro region like Chicago there are also plenty of high dollar biz travelers who want to be 100% sure that they are at the airport for their flight, or who get in late and don’t want to head all the way home, to their client site, etc.
Your $225 figure seems reasonable in my experience with this property. As others noted, check alternative rates, or you can go to Rosemont which is a very nice property and a short shuttle ride away.

Call. Expect the least.
I called for and asked about a potential booking for 6/24-6/25. Was told that they were offering grab and go breakfast.
that being said this was during phase 3. Now I’m phase 4. Maybe restaurant is open.
