Hotels North of Chicago
Any good, or even luxurious, hotels near the North Shore in Chicago? Preferably on the way from ORD to upper Wisconsin.

At O'Hare, the Westin is a fine hotel for an overnight.
If you are going straight north through Wisconsin, I love the American Club in Kohler, Wisconsin. It is about 150 miles north of the airport east of US94.

While is not a true Luxury, The Deer Path Inn seems to fit your requirements. It's in Lake Forest (40 minutes from O'Hare).

I was just about to suggest the exact same hotel...and dinner selection!
The Deerpath Inn is very nice and quiet. Nice, cozy bar with good food. There are shops and a wide chioce for dining all located within three or four blocks of The Inn.

Here is one I'd never heard of: http://www.hotelorrington.com/
But Evanston might be a little too close to the City for you.

FYI, it must be a good hotel because we couldn't get in for the dates we requested - quite busy evidently. But thanks -

Actually did get into the Deer Path with a special week-end rate for either a Suite or Executive Double - complete with buffet breakfast - so we are anxious to try it. Looks cute and quaint - and good location for a short stop-over. Thanks to all who posted suggestions -

Then again, if you don't arrive at rush hour, and are willing to drive a little out of your way, you could stay at -- and you said luxurious -- the Peninsula, downtown, and then drive North from there...

The Orrington is a marvelous hotel -- opened a couple of years after a $30+M renovation. Service is excellent. The rooms and public areas are very stylish. There is a state of the art conference center. Restaurants are very good. My only minor problem there was a slight wait for valet parking. It's an easy walk to the Lake. And Evanston is full of fine restaurants.
