Swanky airport hotels tend to win our hearts. Like, we love a great hotel and all, but when the airport hotel manages to be a "great hotel" without prompting that little "...for an airport hotel" clause to be tacked onto the end, we feel as though we've struck the hotel-geek version of gold -- for reference, see the lovefest we bestowed upon the Grand Hyatt DFW Airport.

That said, we have super-high hopes for the brand new InterContinental Chicago O'Hare, a 556-room hotel and conference center that opened up around Chicago's O'Hare airport today.

Official word from the release:

70 Executive and VIP suites with soaking tubs and steam showers; the exclusive InterContinental Club Lounge; a dedicated flight center where guests can check the real-time status of their flights and check-in online; and three world-class restaurants, including McCormick & Schmick's and The Capital Grille

The coolest thing about the hotel (in our opinion, at least) is the art gallery, which features a bi-annually rotating collection of commissioned artwork from both local and international artists. We hear champagne tours are available, too...

Rates for tonight start around $239.00.
