Rosemont is a
village in Cook County, Illinois, that is also a suburb
of Chicago, Illinois. Its town's government was founded
in 1956, though it had been settled a long before that.
Its area is small, and its population was just 4,224
at the 2000 census, but there are several large businesses,
and the huge 78,000 square meter Rosemont Convention
Center.
Rosemont is positioned directly
between O'Hare International Airport and Chicago. Due
to its location, much of the village is occupied by
large hotels and office buildings. Almost all major
hotel chains operating in the United States have a presence
in Rosemont, including Global Hyatt, Hilton Hotels Corporation,
Marriott International, Starwood Hotels & Resorts
Worldwide, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Accor, and
InterContinental Hotels Group, among others. According
to Colliers Bennett & Kahnweiler, the Rosemont/O'Hare
office market encompassed approximately 13,500,000 square
feet (1,250,000 m2) of total inventory in 2008.
Corporate headquarters in the
village include those of Culligan, U.S. Foodservice,
Velsicol Chemical Corporation, Banco Popular North America
and Taylor Capital Group (Cole Taylor Bank).
