The blizzard rate includes free parking, and a complementary toothbrush, toothpaste, razor and shaving cream.
When guests can finally catch their flights, the hotel says it will provide a free ride to O'Hare on its shuttle.
For reservations, the hotels says to call them at (847) 696-1234 and ask for the Hyatt Regency O'Hare blizzard rate, or go to the hotel Web site and enter the code BLIZ12 under special offers.
And not to worry – there may be snow, but there is no blizzard in the forecast. Only a winter storm warning is in effect for the Chicago area until Friday morning.
