The Westin Chicago North Shore

Hotel · Wheeling, IL

About

Most Westin hotels in the Chicago area focus on downtown convenience. The Westin Chicago North Shore takes a different route, offering a river view and a peaceful suburban setting in Wheeling. This is a mixed gay-straight, family-friendly hotel with a spa, outdoor seating, and a swimming pool. It's pet-friendly too, so you can bring your dog along. Check-in can be understaffed in the afternoon, and water pressure on higher floors may be weak, as one guest noted on the 10th floor. But the hotel's 24-hour operation means you can arrive anytime. It's a solid choice if you want a quiet base outside the city without sacrificing amenities like a full-service spa. For a more central Chicago stay, the Palmer House a Hilton Hotel offers a different downtown vibe.

Located in the suburbs of Wheeling, this hotel offers a quiet alternative to downtown Chicago, with easy access to nature and local attractions.

From the community

Not particularly impressed. Given the cost, I've had better experiences elsewhere. There weren't enough staff at check-in, even at 3 PM. On the tenth floor, the water pressure was so low that the rain shower in the otherwise nice, spacious bathroom was almost useless. At least it was just a single night.
