CHICAGO — Former Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago was hospitalized in an intensive care unit Saturday after feeling ill while returning to the city from a business trip.


Mr. Daley had complained several times Friday that he was feeling ill and disoriented during a conference he attended in Arizona as part of his work for the law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman, said his spokeswoman, Jackie Heard. When the conference was over, Mr. Daley flew back to Chicago and his family arranged to have an ambulance take him directly to Northwestern Memorial Hospital.


“Mayor Daley has been a very healthy man and he rarely complains of feeling ill. So for him to complain more than once about not feeling quite right, of course that causes alarm,” Ms. Heard said.


Mr. Daley, 71, walked off the plane in Chicago before getting into the ambulance, Ms. Heard said.


He remained in the hospital’s intensive care unit Saturday for “monitoring and evaluation,” according to a family statement.


Mr. Daley has been hospitalized at least two other times since 2000, after he experienced mild chest pains. Both he and his wife were also hospitalized in 2002 for a severe stomach flu.


Mr. Daley, Chicago’s longest-serving mayor with 22 years in office, is credited with giving the city a face lift with new green spaces, a revived theater district and the transformation of Navy Pier into a colorful playground.


He announced in late 2010 that he would not seek a seventh term. About six months after Mr. Daley left office, his wife, Maggie, who had been given a diagnosis of breast cancer in 2002, died on Thanksgiving Day. Mr. Daley was succeeded by Rahm Emanuel, who had left his job as White House chief of staff to run for mayor.


Mr. Daley is the son of Chicago’s second longest-serving mayor, Richard J. Daley, who died in office of a heart attack in 1976. He was 74.
