Unique Venue Feature
Chicago’s North Shore begins to the north of the City of Chicago in Evanston - a cosmopolitan city with unique stores and diverse cuisine nestled in the charm of a college town.
Our region is only 20 minutes from downtown Chicago and its 20 lodging options offer a broad variety of accommodation options – from five star luxury to affordable rooms for the budget traveler. In addition, Chicago’s North Shore is a dining and shopping paradise. Some of the most famous chefs have honed their trade in our award winning restaurants and three major shopping centers, Westfield Old Orchard, the Glen Town Center and Northbrook Court. The downtown hubs of Evanston, Winnetka, Northfield and Glencoe along with its other unique retail distircts offer unique boutiques and outdoor dining options to those that favor shopping along tree-lined streets for unique gifts and finds. Of course, a visit to Lake Michigan is a must. Evanston’s lakefront is free of commercial enterprise and is perfect for walking, jogging, biking or sunbathing and swimming in the clear waters of the lake during the summer months.
