Overhaul of the Chicago O’Hare Marriott

Posted · Add Comment

If you did a Google search on hotels near O’Hare International Airport, the Chicago O’Hare Marriott is the first listing that comes up. The Marriott hotel chain is among the most famous of hotel chains in the world. Most people don’t know there were seven original Marriott’s built, and the one located at Chicago O’Hare is one of the original seven. The Chicago O’Hare Marriott is at the tail end of a 40 million dollar renovation. Over 500,000 people walk through that building annually, making every second and every penny they can save extremely important to their business.

The pool was just one of the things that went through a complete overhaul. The outdoor pool was quite deep, and seeing that it was attached to the indoor pool, the Marriott wanted it to conform with the indoor pool to the standard 5 foot depth everyone is accustomed to. During the preliminary inspection of the pool, the maintenance crew found that the pool was losing water, and a lot of it. The camera inspection uncovered a total of around 300 feet of leaking pipe needed to be replaced. To keep the pool running before construction, the maintenance crew had to run warm water in the pool at all times. With a pool that size, it was certainly not the most efficient and cost effective way to go.

The pool is in the middle of the courtyard, which sits in the middle of the hotel. This makes for a nice, easy, and short walk for all hotel stayers to who want to indulge themselves in the relaxing pool. This setup however, makes it very difficult to get the large and heavy construction materials to the pool. In fact, the only way to get the bigger items to the pool site is to have a crane lift them up and over the hotel itself. Jack-hammering up the floor was NOT an option for the hotel. That process would have added months and considerable expense to the job that was already expensive.
