Where to Stay When Visiting Exelon (Chicago)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Exelon's headquarters is in downtown Chicago, on Dearborn in the Loop. Match the hotel to the district — and the airport to the hotel. Chicago's spread and its two airports both matter.

Direct answer: Visiting Exelon's Chicago HQ (10 S Dearborn St): stay in the downtown Chicago area near the office. Stay downtown in the Loop or River North near Exelon — the core is compact and walkable (the Pedway helps in winter), so most downtown business hotels put you within a short walk or 'L' ride of the office. This is a stay-central trip; skip the suburbs. Two airports. Midway (MDW) on the southwest side is usually the shorter ride downtown — about 25 minutes, and a Southwest hub. O'Hare (ORD) to the northwest is bigger with far more connections, about 40 minutes via the Kennedy or the Blue Line. For a downtown-only trip, Midway is the quick hop; for connections, O'Hare.

Exelon is a utility company — the largest U.S. electric utility by customers, headquartered at 10 S Dearborn St, Chicago, IL 60603. That's downtown Chicago — the Loop and River North, the financial and corporate core along Wacker Drive and LaSalle Street, dense with business hotels and stitched together by the 'L' and the river.

Downtown and River North are full of client-worthy restaurants, and the West Loop's Randolph Street 'Restaurant Row' — a short ride away — is arguably the city's best, most within a quick cab or walk.

What should you check before booking?

The district gets you close; the room still has to protect the work. Run the pick through the Sales-Ready basics — a real work surface, a quiet room, a lobby you'd host in — using the hotel details that decide the trip and the Sales-Ready Index.

The standard

Exelon is a Chicago HQ where two choices decide the trip: the district and the airport. Book near the office in the downtown Chicago area, fly Midway (MDW), and keep the wrong-side-of-town commute off your morning.
