Hilton Orrington/Evanston

About us

Hilton Orrington is situated in the heart of the college town of Evanston. A picturesque lakeshore metropolis, exuding charm and Wildcat pride. Home to the Wildcats of Northwestern University, you’ll be immersed in the scholarly liveliness of collegiate life, as well as plentiful recreational lake town activities and the distinct authenticity of mom-and-pop shops, eateries, distilleries, and breweries moments from downtown Chicago.

Walk through the historic tree-lined streets of Evanston, to gain a greater appreciation of the nineteenth-century architectural style, enjoy a sun-soaked day at Light House or Clark Street Beach, along the shoreline of Lake Michigan. Immerse into the culture with a visit to Frances Willard House Museum, Halim Time & Glass Museum, Block Museum of Art, Evanston History Century, Gross Point Light House, or the Emil Bach House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Quench your thirst at Few Spirits distillery or Sketchbook Brewing Co. or take a short ride north for a photo op at the Home Alone House.

With close proximity to neighboring Chicago, this historic North Shore hotel has welcomed guests with the light and warmth of hospitality for nearly a century. Guests of Hilton Orrington will enjoy cozy comforts in well-appointed guestrooms and suites, thoughtful travel niceties like a digital key, complimentary fitness center access, fireside conversation at the lobby, and an impressive meeting center with an adjacent terrace.

We are 16 miles from O’Hare International Airport and 25 miles from Chicago Midway Airport.
