- McDonald's has a luxury Hyatt Lodge on its 75-acre campus in Oak Brook, Illinois.
- I stayed at the hotel for one night, and was surprised by the lovely - but not necessarily unique - experience.
- However, one thing made the hotel stand out: the endless, bizarre, McDonald's-themed artwork.
When I visited McDonald's headquarters earlier in March, I had one goal: stay at the infamous McDonald's hotel.
The fast-food headquarters are located on a 75-acre campus. And, on that campus is a Hyatt Lodge.
Thousands of McDonald's workers stay at the hotel every year while attending training at "Hamburger University," which is connected to the Hyatt by a bridge. And, while the hotel sold itself as "one of the best family resorts near Chicago," I suspected there may be more fast-food magic afoot.
So, I booked a night at the hotel. Here's what it is like to stay at perhaps the most fast-food-obsessed hotel in the world.
