Courtyard By Marriott Chicago Highland Park/Northbrook

Suburban Comfort with Easy Access to Chicago’s Music Scene

Modern and well-equipped, the Courtyard By Marriott Chicago Highland Park/Northbrook blends suburban tranquility with convenient access to the Chicago concert circuit. Located in Highland Park, just off Lake Cook Road, this 3-star hotel offers a peaceful base with an inviting lounge, friendly service, and thoughtful amenities like free WiFi and an on-site restaurant and bar. Whether you're heading to a show in the city or catching a concert at a nearby venue, this hotel keeps you connected without the chaos of downtown.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a smart pick for fans who want to be near the action, but not in the middle of it. It's about 20–25 miles from major Chicago venues like Wrigley Field and the United Center — close enough for a ride-share, but far enough for a solid night’s sleep after the encore. The 24-hour front desk and flexible 12:00 PM check-out make late-night returns easy. Plus, the calm Highland Park location means you won’t be kept up by city noise when you're ready to crash.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends road-tripping for a show with space to hang out
• Solo travelers looking for a safe and quiet base after a bucket-list concert
• Couples making a romantic weekend of their favorite band
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
• Budget-conscious music fans who’d rather spend on tickets than hotels

Food and Drink Options

• The hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar offers a relaxing bite or drink before or after your show
• 24/7 market available for quick snacks and drinks any time
• Walkable dining options in Highland Park offer everything from pizza to upscale American fare
• Breakfast is available in the morning — ideal for a slow start after a late night out

Nightlife Options

• While Highland Park itself is low-key, you're a quick Uber away from vibrant nightlife in downtown Chicago
• On-site bar is a chill spot to unwind with a craft beer or cocktail
• Nearby Northbrook and Evanston also have local bars, wine spots, and lounges

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms and the friendly, professional staff. The location’s balance of calm and convenience is a big hit with travelers wanting a break from the city buzz. Many reviewers also appreciated the free parking and reliable WiFi — always a plus when coordinating meetups or rides.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel’s food options are limited in the evening, so plan ahead if you're returning from a very late concert. Also, while it’s near Chicago, you’ll need a car or rideshare to get to most venues — this isn’t a walk-to-the-concert kind of place.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a quieter, comfortable base with easy access to Chicago's venues, Courtyard By Marriott Chicago Highland Park/Northbrook delivers the best of both worlds.
