Chicago ORD Hilton
 
Ridiculous question to be sure, but I'd appreciate help with it. I'm an aviation buff, and I'll be staying at the airport Hilton soon. Does the hotel have runway-view rooms from which guests can clearly see the comings and goings of airplanes?

Many thanks,

BB

The hotel is tucked inside the drive-thru and is shielded from the runways by the terminal buildings. You might be able to something from the very top floors, but I don't think it'd be much. The runways (the parts on which the planes land and take off, not the taxi tarmac) themselves are still quite a distance from the hotel.

Very helpful, GP. Many thanks.

Why don't you simply contact the hotel?

Curious,

I have contacted many a hotel with just such a question, and have gotten many a wrong answer.
