The Renaissance Chicago North Shore sits near many Fortune 500 companies and within a stone's throw of the Chicago Botanical Gardens, Six Flags Great America, the Ravinia Music Festival Center, and the Northbrook Court Shopping Mall. The Chicago Botanic Garden features 26 gardens and native habitat areas with walking trails snaking through 385 acres. The Highland Park Country Club two miles from the hotel dazzles golfers with an 18-hole PGA course.
This being Chicago and especially the North Shore area, guests will discover plenty of dining options, but they shouldn't miss the hotel's Ruth's Chris Steak House, a member of the nationally known company known for its prime beef, seafood and chicken. In addition, the Rooks Corner bistro dishes breakfasts, lunches and dinners.
The newest member of the Renaissance family also provides wireless Internet access, pool, complimentary shuttles within five miles, a 24-hour business center, 22,000 square feet of meeting space, auditorium with theater-style seating and projection booth, and top-floor event space with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Guestrooms feature comfy feather-top mattresses, goose-down pillows, down duvets, wireless Internet access, video-game consoles, and fancy Bath and Body Works toiletries.
This Renaissance gets its fair share of business types, conventioneers and leisure travelers. The typical scene features corporate dealmakers in overstuffed chairs sipping wine in the library nook over a Lucite chessboard and leisure guests sinking into high-backed banquette seating before a roaring fire in the bar.
