Hilton Goes Gaga for Airport Hotels and Opens a Second at O'Hare

The Hilton loves itself some airport hotels. And the company's not letting a horrible economy prevent it from opening more by-the-airport hotels: It has plans to introduce the Germany's Hilton Frankfurt Airport in February, and it opened China's Hilton Beijing Capital Airport in July.

Back in 2007 when the work began, the hotel was able to show off two new contemporary restaurants and a humongous conference center, but now the rooms also boast of fresh touches like 37 flat-screen LCD televisions, ergonomically correct workspaces, energy
