Chicago Marriott Northwest

Modern Comfort Near the Music Scene

Modern and upscale, the Chicago Marriott Northwest brings 4-star comfort to Hoffman Estates, just over 30 miles from downtown Chicago. Perfectly situated for those attending concerts or festivals in the northwest suburbs, this hotel offers a relaxed, polished vibe with amenities like an indoor pool, stylish bar, and fitness center.

Guests can expect thoughtful touches like free bikes, a 24-hour front desk, and convenient room service, making it a solid base for music fans looking to unwind before or after a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

While not right in the heart of downtown Chicago, this hotel is a smart choice for shows at suburban venues or for those wanting easier parking and a quieter atmosphere after the encore. The flexible check-out time of 12:00 PM is perfect for a slow morning after a late night. It's also 16 miles from O'Hare Airport, making late-night arrivals or early departures a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want space and a place to regroup pre- or post-show
• Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist in a quieter suburban setting
• Couples making a weekend of it with dinner, a show, and a cozy night in
• Fans looking for peace and quiet after a high-energy concert
• Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind a short drive or rideshare to the venue

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant offers a buffet, à la carte, and continental breakfast—great if you’re starting your day late after a night out. Room service makes dining in easy, and vending machines are also available for late-night cravings. While there’s no 24/7 dining, you’ll find several walkable and short-drive eateries in the area.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, the on-site bar is a nice spot for a nightcap with a stylish, relaxed vibe. For more action, nearby Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg offer bars and lounges that stay open late, and you’re not far from some of the area’s popular concert spots.

What People Say

Guests praise the spacious, modern rooms, the friendly staff, and the clean, quiet environment. It’s often described as a “great value” for the quality and location, especially for those attending events nearby or flying in and out of O’Hare.

Areas for Improvement

The biggest downside for some guests is that it’s a bit of a drive from downtown Chicago—so if your concert is in the city center, plan accordingly. Also, while the property is polished and professional, it’s more business-class than party central—something to note if you're looking for a buzzing post-show scene.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want comfort, quiet, and convenience near suburban venues, the Chicago Marriott Northwest hits the right notes.
