Where to Stay When Visiting Zurich North America (Chicago)

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

Zurich North America's headquarters is in Schaumburg, in the Woodfield area. Match the hotel to the district — and the airport to the hotel. Chicago's spread and its two airports both matter.

Direct answer: Visiting Zurich North America's Schaumburg HQ (1299 Zurich Way): stay in the the O'Hare / Rosemont–Schaumburg area area near the office. Stay in Rosemont or Schaumburg near Zurich North America — the hotels here are minutes from the campus and the terminal both, most with a shuttle. Downtown Chicago is 30 minutes east and unnecessary for an O'Hare-corridor visit. O'Hare (ORD) is right here — about 10 minutes, with most hotels running airport shuttles. This is one Chicago cluster where the airport is the neighborhood. Midway is on the far side of the city and off-mission.

Zurich North America is the U.S. arm of the global insurer Zurich Insurance Group, headquartered at 1299 Zurich Way, Schaumburg, IL 60196. That's the O'Hare corridor — Rosemont by the airport and Schaumburg's Woodfield area a bit west — a cluster of corporate offices, hotels, and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center built around O'Hare.
