The new, 556-room InterContinental Chicago O’Hare has gone greener than most eco-friendly hotels, and is offsetting 100 percent of its Co2 emissions associated with its energy consumption. The Rosemont, Ill., property, just 14 minutes from downtown Chicago, purchases its renewable energy credits from wind power from Constellation New Energy in Baltimore, Md.
The property opened for business September 8.
Further, the InterContinental Chicago O’Hare features a “Green Meetings” program and recycles all materials used in its convention area. The hotel features 22 meeting rooms with 52,250 square feet of meeting space. more…
