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.

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.

- DKDaniel Koss3 days ago5.0Great place. Highly recommend!
- CPCeleste PatelOct 30, 20255.0I did not personally stay here but had a lovely interaction with the front desk for a billing question. Thank you for your kind assistance!
- EMEd MullerOct 28, 20253.0Extremely small bathrooms without any counters. The thermostat was off of the wall and sitting on the desk. Heating and cooling was difficult to manage in the room. Staff was very nice and the location can’t be beat.
- JSJohn SchlaferOct 28, 20252.0This place is very mid for a full Hilton. Felt more like a run down HGI. The bathrooms are tiny and have almost zero counter space. The rooms are large but not particularly nice. No blackout curtains, no sheer curtains, very little lighting in the room. The building felt worn out.
- CLC LoOct 22, 20252.0The staff are really nice and the new gym is great. My bathroom was quite small, and one of the two elevators was broken during my stay, so guests had to use the service elevator. My room faced the back alley, which was quite noisy..trash collection started around 7 am, and sometimes you could even hear people throwing out or digging through trash late at night. The walls and windows don’t seem to be soundproof, so it’s hard to block out the noise. I wish the hotel had mentioned this at check-in, I would’ve been more understanding if I’d known, since it might not bother someone who’s an early riser.
