The Glen Club

Stylish Suburban Retreat with a Concert-Ready Vibe

Modern and elegant with a country-club charm, The Glen Club is a 4-star hotel nestled in scenic Glenview, just a short drive from Chicago’s top venues. Overlooking a tranquil lake and surrounded by lush greenery, this hotel offers a peaceful escape with upscale touches like a terrace, garden, and an on-site American restaurant. Rooms are spacious and well-appointed with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, free WiFi, and many feature balconies for a serene wind-down after the show.

Located just 14 miles from Loyola University Chicago and 16 miles from the iconic Wrigley Field, it’s a smart pick for fans wanting a mix of easy access and restful retreat.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Chicago O’Hare International Airport just 9.3 miles away, The Glen Club is a breeze to reach for out-of-town fans. The peaceful location makes it ideal for post-show recovery, and the 24-hour front desk and luggage storage come in handy for late-night arrivals. While not right in downtown Chicago, it offers a quieter, more relaxed base with reasonable access to venues via car or rideshare. Plus, the 12:00 PM checkout time means you can sleep in after a late night.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish base with space to unwind
• Solo travelers attending a big concert or music festival
• Couples turning the show into a romantic weekend getaway
• Fans wanting quiet and comfort after a high-energy night
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking luxury without downtown prices

Food and Drink Options

The Glen Club’s on-site restaurant serves up classic American cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free options available. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast after a concert or a relaxing dinner on the terrace, you'll find something satisfying. Room service is available, and while it's not listed as 24/7, the staff is known for being accommodating. Nearby Glenview offers additional dining spots within a short drive.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn’t feature live music on-site, the bar is a cozy space for a nightcap with views of the lake. Glenview itself is more of a quiet suburb, but Chicago’s vibrant nightlife—from dive bars to jazz lounges—is just a car ride away. Great for those who love the music, but not the noise when it’s time to sleep.

What People Say

Guest reviews consistently praise the spacious rooms, peaceful setting, and attentive service. Many guests mention how relaxing the lake views are, and how the hotel feels like a hidden gem just outside the city. The comfortable beds and clean bathrooms also get top marks, making it a great place to recharge.

Areas for Improvement

Because it’s not located in downtown Chicago, you’ll need to plan your transport to and from concert venues. Rideshares are readily available, but it’s not the place for those who want to walk to the show. Also, the vibe leans more upscale and serene than party-focused.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want easy access to Chicago venues without sacrificing peace, comfort, and a touch of luxury, The Glen Club hits all the right notes.
