Welcome to Illinois Beach Hotel
State Led pool renovations are ongoing.
We are looking forward to the pool reopening soon.
The Lake Front Destination
Illinois Beach Hotel is the only hotel in the state that is nestled along the sandy beaches of Lake Michigan offering its guests a unique experience, which no other hotel in the area can provide. Located conveniently between Chicago and Milwaukee, the hotel is known for locally sourced comfort food and inviting accommodations set against the beautiful backdrop of the Lake Michigan sunrise.
Hotel guests can step out of the lobby to stroll the shores of Lake Michigan, enjoy playing in the waves or just lounge on the sand and soak up the sun. The expansive lobby features floor to ceiling windows displaying beautiful views of the lake shore. Guest rooms are comfortable and reflect the original styling of the hotel with a distinctly modern feel. Guests can choose from a variety of room types many of which offer sweeping views of Lake Michigan or the natural beauty of Illinois Beach State Park. The hotel also offers guests an excellent dining option at its new restaurant, Nolan’s. The hotel features accessible rooms and suites suited for any of occasion.
Illinois Beach Hotel offers guests the opportunity for a special beach retreat without the necessity of a passport.

Illinois Beach Hotel surpassed my expectations with the huge king suite including a large jacuzzi tub and shower. There was also a nice sized mini fridge and microwave. The view was beautiful, and we loved walking along the beach and sitting on the balcony.

Service, location and staff were all amazing! The suite was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom came with both a rainforest shower and jacuzzi tub. The views of Lake Michigan were phenomenal! Explore Illinois Beach State Park and hike the Dead River trail. So peaceful and relaxing.

Highly recommended. Beautiful view and rooms were cleaner than all the other hotels I’ve been to in the last year.

I’m so glad the hotel has reopened. I have not been inside yet. However, the beaches are beautiful with all the upgrades the park has made. Feels like you’re in the Caribbean.

A Lakefront Gem in the North Suburbs
My family and I were in town for a birthday party and we were excited to see that this hotel was back up and running with some great renovations! They’ve added refrigerators and microwaves to the rooms and we really liked the new decor. I’m looking forward to coming back in the summer to really enjoy the updates to the beach as well!

Breathtaking views and top notch guest experience
The new owners have improved this hotel and it really shows. They are showing that this will be a top notch destination. Adding fridges and microwaves in every room. Nolan's restaurant is absolutely amazing. And to top it all off, you have your own private beach! A beautiful site to see.

Great Hotel Right On The Lake
I grudgingly went back to this hotel after a HORRIBLE experience several years ago. (I had a family function nearby or I wouldn't have). Anyway, there are new owners and boy does it show. The hotel is now spotless and the rooms clean and new. The service was great and you can't beat the view of the lake. The restaurant has changed, i think its called Nolan's and I was very pleasantly surprised. Great food... good drinks and professional service. The beach is beautiful and they told me that they recently did a big job putting it all back together. Anyway.... glad i went back....and I'll definitely be back again.

Will Book Again!
Love the hotel. Even though I booked the cheapest room and I knew that it would not have a fridge and microwave, it had a microwave in the lobby. That's not critical for me. It was clean, the lobby was modern and decorative. The view of Lake Michigan from the lobby was spectacular. No complaints. Im sure if I could afford the upper level rooms with the view, fridge, and microwave, it would have been even better. Will book again if the price is right.

Our daughter was married there
We spent the weekend at Illinois Beach Hotel for our daughter’s wedding. it’s very cute hotel. The staff was wonderful. The wedding was beautiful. The food was great.. I love the view having a balcony overlooking Lake Michigan we could hear the crashing waves. It was such a relaxing place and something I will remember forever.

Peaceful Retreat
It was a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. My room was clean, comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Check-in and check-out were smooth processes. One of the hotel's biggest advantages is its proximity to the beach and the hiking trails in Illinois Beach State Park. Nature enthusiasts and hikers will particularly appreciate the easy access to outdoor activities. This is an excellent choice for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful retreat.
