From the reviews
This is a very nice hotel. The rooms are clean, modern, and well set up. Beds are comfortable and TV has lots of channels an available as well. Even the hallways and elevators have a crisp, inviting, and modern look. The staff is very welcoming and helpful.
We have stayed here the past 5 years in the same weekend so we can attend Winnetka Music Festival. We love staying here because the staff and location are great. We never have to worry about cleanliness. It's usually always at full capacity, but you'd never know because it's always quiet.
Getting married at Renaissance Chicago North Shore Hotel
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
