Lincolnshire Marriott Resort  

Tucked in Lincolnshire, Illinois, this suburban resort sits on roughly 175 wooded acres around a serene lake and along the fairways of a championship golf course. It’s in the Chicago northern suburbs near Buffalo Grove, Vernon Hills, Deerfield and Wheeling, and about 19 miles from Chicago O'Hare International Airport. A prominent local theater and scenic North Shore attractions are within easy reach.

Rooms lean into classic dark-wood styling with step-out balconies or patios offering pool, lake or landscape views. Expect en suite baths with shower/tub combos, refrigerators, smart TVs and even games consoles in some rooms, plus ergonomic work desks and pillowtop bedding for a comfortable stay. The three-storey layout and extensive grounds give the place a calm, corporate-resort vibe with pockets of trail-side quiet.

Play a round on the championship golf course, soak at the full-service spa, or choose indoor and outdoor pools for a dip. Stay active with indoor tennis and racquetball courts, a gym, and wooded trails for hiking. There are outdoor pavilions, picnic and barbecue areas, a concierge and on-site shops — plus a complimentary shuttle serving the local area.

This property is built for events, with tens of thousands of square feet of flexible meeting and event space (up to around 64,000 sq ft) and advanced presentation technology. A 24-hour business center, express check-out and dry-cleaning services keep groups moving, and complimentary on-site parking makes logistics simple.

Several on-site restaurants, bars and a coffee shop/cafe serve everything from casual bites to full meals. Expect bistro-style options, room service during limited hours and buffet breakfasts on weekdays and weekends for a fee. Two bars and lounge areas make evening drinks and small gatherings effortless.
