PORTAGE, Ind. – Hilton Hotels Corp. has opened its third centralized laundry, Meritex Portage, which provides laundry services to Hilton-branded hotels in the Chicago area.
The new plant replaces the workhorse in-house centralized laundry that was located on the fifth floor of the Hilton Chicago, says Mark Lindbloom, Hilton Hotels’ corporate director of laundry operations. That laundry is perhaps best known as the setting for the climax of Harrison Ford’s 1993 film, The Fugitive.
