Residence Inn Midway

Aviation Residential Campus

The Residence Inn by Marriott Chicago Midway Airport offers a distinct “campus style” hospitality experience within the Midway Hotel Center. Unlike the streamlined, transit focused nature of the nearby Fairfield Inn, this property is designed for guests who need to settle in rather than just pass through. It operates as a quiet enclave set back from the busy thoroughfares of Cicero Avenue, providing a sense of community and space that is rare for airport lodging. It caters to those who need the autonomy of an apartment with the reliability of a hotel brand, serving as a comfortable base for extended projects or family relocations.

Suites for Living

The accommodations here are purpose built for longevity. Every suite is a fully functional residence, complete with a kitchen that goes beyond the basics. Guests have access to a full sized refrigerator, stovetop, dishwasher, and microwave, allowing for real cooking rather than just reheating. This setup is a game changer for travelers tired of restaurant meals or families who need to prepare specific food for children.

The layouts include separate living, working, and sleeping zones, ensuring that your hotel room doesn’t feel like a bedroom you happen to work in. Many suites feature fireplaces, adding a cozy, residential touch that makes the space feel more like a home during Chicago’s colder months. The ergonomic workstations and complimentary high speed Wi-Fi support productivity, while the comfortable seating areas provide a place to unwind.

Community and Campus Amenities

What sets this property apart is its focus on outdoor and communal space. The hotel features a “Sport Court,” a multi purpose outdoor area where guests can play basketball or tennis, offering a physical outlet that goes beyond a standard treadmill. There is also an outdoor fire pit and barbecue area, encouraging guests to socialize and enjoy the fresh air.

Inside, the “Gatehouse” serves as the social hub. A complimentary hot breakfast buffet is served daily, and on select evenings, the hotel hosts “The Residence Inn Mix,” a social hour with light bites and drinks that fosters a sense of neighborhood among guests. An indoor pool and fitness center round out the wellness offerings, ensuring that routines can be maintained regardless of the weather.

Location and Dining Connectivity

While the property feels secluded, it is highly connected. A 24 hour complimentary shuttle loops continuously to the Midway Airport terminals, making travel stress free. For dining, the hotel is part of a complex that includes several sit down restaurants, such as TGI Fridays, which are just a short walk across the parking lot. This immediate access to full service dining is a significant convenience for weary travelers who don’t want to drive.

The location also offers easy access to the Orange Line for trips into downtown Chicago, and for those with cars, the proximity to I 55 makes getting to the western suburbs or the city center straightforward.

Ideal Guest Profile

• Project Teams: Corporate groups in town for weeks at a time who need a communal yet private living arrangement.

• Relocating Families: Households in transition who require a full kitchen, pet friendly policies, and enough space for everyone to coexist comfortably.

• Layover Passengers: Travelers with extended waits who want a more substantial, relaxing environment than a standard airport hotel room can provide.
