Hilton Chicago Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center

What Hilton Chicago Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center does

Hilton Chicago Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center is a single-asset, full-service resort and conference center located at 3500 Midwest Rd, Oak Brook, Illinois, operating under the Hilton Hotels & Resorts brand as a wholly owned property of Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HLT). Founded in 1987 and employing 251–500 staff, the property offers hotel accommodations ranging from standard rooms to a presidential suite, over 60,000 square feet of IACC-certified flexible event space (including a 13,000+ sq ft Grand Ballroom, 20+ breakout rooms, a tiered amphitheater, and outdoor venues), an on-site 18-hole championship golf course (Willow Crest Golf Club, designed by Dick Nugent), Monarch Spa, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness facilities, and four dining outlets (B. Restaurant, B. Lounge, B. Cafe, Tin Cup Bar & Grille). The property was previously operated as the Chicago Oak Brook Hills Marriott Resort before transitioning to the Hilton brand.

The company serves four primary customer segments: corporate and business groups booking meetings, conferences, and executive retreats; couples and families hosting weddings and social celebrations; golf enthusiasts purchasing memberships, outings, and instruction; and leisure travelers seeking a suburban resort base proximate to Chicago attractions. Revenue is generated across six streams: room accommodations (starting at $129/night), meeting and event venue rental and services, food and beverage (including a farm-to-table program with 90+ local farm partners), golf operations (greens fees of $75–$79, outings, and merchandise), spa services, and recurring golf memberships. Go-to-market combines a dedicated meeting-planner sales motion and corporate RFP process for group business with direct-to-consumer channels — the hotel website, Hilton's central reservation system, phone reservations, and email — for transient and leisure demand. Distribution leverages Hilton's global brand infrastructure, including Hilton Honors loyalty and 100+ booking channels, supplemented by organic social (Instagram), third-party review platforms (Yelp, TripAdvisor), and re-marketing email automation (CartStack, Benchmark Email).
