i have 7 hrs to kill in ORD. i will NOT be leaving the airport.

given the choice, would you kill the time in (multiple choice):
A. dl sky club
B. aa admirals club
C. united club (and if so, which one...)

please notice "none of the above" is not an option! ha

thanks for the advice, and, again, i will NOT be going into the city or leaving the airport,

So why NOT leaving the airport?

If UC club T2 is the newest and best.

If you don't want to leave the airport does that include not leaving airside? If not, then:
D. Go to the Hilton and work out at the fitness center.

If that isn't acceptable, and assuming you are eligible to access all of the lounges why don't you visit them all during your 7 hours?

Of those three, I've only experienced the United and AA clubs, and I'd pick the AA clubs because they tend to be cleaner and have friendlier employees. The main AA club has a nice quiet room (no phones allowed) that is almost always semi-empty.

Although I have not been, I've heard good things about the recently renovated G club.

My lounge rankings:

- UA Lounge in Terminal 2 (E/F Concourse)
- Admirals Club
- Sky Club
- UA Lounge by B18
- UA Lounge in C Concourse
- UA Lounge by B8

That's based on lounge comfort, seating and atmosphere, not food or beverages mind you.

Oh and check out the Urban Garden in Terminal 2, it's a fun little stop.

In addition to lounges, consider Tortas Fronteras restaurant.

Oct 2014 "Conde Nast TRAVELER" ranks it as #1 airport food in the world.

There is the hydroponic garden in T3 on the upper level where the corridor to the G gates goes off. It has chairs and tables, and fierce grow lights if you need to brighten your winter. It is often heavily populated with airline staff. There is also an adjacent yoga room.

The quiet room in the HK Admirals Club is right next to the childrens' play room which can make it a bit noisy! The refurbished G Club is quite nice.
