The Hyatt Lodge in Oakbrook sits next to an 88 acre forest preserve and right on Ronald McDonald's corporate headquarters. The preserve features a one mile nature trail and four mile paved jogging path, with plenty of paddleboats for the private lake and mountain bikes for the daring. Golfers will discover the 18 hole Oak Brook Golf Club a half mile down the road and shoppers will feel their credit cards burning at the huge Oak Brook mall, also a half mile away. Sightseers and business types wanting to get to downtown Chicago are only 18 miles from their goal, while families with children will delight that Brookfield Zoo is only eight miles away.

Naturalist elements permeate the hotel, including the stone staircase leading to the restaurants and lounge, where travelers relax in front of a three way fireplace or gaze out the many floor to ceiling windows to the lake and preserve. They also can pamper themselves with massages, steam rooms and saunas in the fitness facility and swim in the 70 foot indoor pool.

For the hungry, the Water's Edge prepares American cuisine, while Piazza café dishes up Italian delicacies. Corporate travelers can retreat to a business center with all the trimmings and enjoy high speed Internet access throughout 47,000 square feet of meeting space. The hotel provides complimentary shuttles to locations within five miles. The staff can arrange 16 mile drives to O'Hare International Airport.

Guestrooms, which feature balconies with views of the preserve or lake, come complete with video game consoles, safes, dial up Internet access and other amenities associated with the internationally known Hyatt company.

The relatively new Hyatt Lodge features modern conference facilities, luxurious accommodations, superb dining, recreation and incomparable health club services for business and leisure travelers looking for special hotel experiences.
