The Best Hotels to Book in Elgin, Illinois
Just 40 minutes northwest of Chicago, Elgin is often overshadowed by the Windy City. But if you’re in the area, it would be a shame to miss out on the charms of this City in the Suburbs. It’s close to O’Hare International Airport, and brimful of intriguing history – take a look at the beautiful Queen Anne homes, and the cobblestone residences put up by the first settlers. There’s nature, too – take a hike, or ride the bike trails, in Poplar Creek Preserve, beside the city. Whether you’re passing through or planning a longer stay, read on to discover the best hotels in Elgin – bookable on Culture Trip.

Hampton Inn Chicago Elgin / I-90, for fluffy beds
Chain Hotel
At the junction between Route 31 north and I-90, you’ll find the Hampton Inn – and what a brilliantly convenient location for a road-trip pit stop – Chicago O’Hare airport is not even 30 minutes away, and the bright city lights of downtown Chicago sparkle in the not-too-far distance. Check in for surgically white beds piled with puffy pillows. But don’t turn in too soon – there’s an indoor pool, a spa tub and a 24-hour fitness center to explore. Make the most of the complimentary continental breakfast served daily; if you’re in a rush, grab one of the complimentary brekkie bags before you hit the road, Jack.
