Located across from Northwestern University in the heart of Evanston, this elegant hotel (opened in 1922) combines its historic character with modern touches, creating a great mix. The façade and entryway as well as the ballroom and elevator landings have kept their historic appearance, while a contemporary, modern look is found in the lobby, guest rooms, and ninth-floor meeting space. The hotel features such amenities as an on-site fitness center and access to the Evanston Athletic Club and Henry Crown Sports Pavilion/Norris Aquatics Center.
