Holiday Inn & Suites Chicago North Shore (Skokie) by IHG
A heated pool in Skokie's walkable pocket
About this hotel
Travellers staying here will find Skokie's denser, more walkable character setting this property apart from the rest of North Side's car-first corridor. A four-minute walk reaches Touhy/Carpenter, and Sander's Family Restaurant & Pancake House sits the same short distance away for an easy meal on foot rather than a drive. The heated indoor pool and hot tub run year-round regardless of Illinois weather, and the restaurant and bar on site cover dinner and a drink without needing to go anywhere else. Free parking rounds out a stay that balances Skokie's rare walkability with the corridor's usual car-friendly convenience found practically everywhere else nearby, a genuinely useful combination on this stretch of North Side.

Our take
I would consider Holiday Inn & Suites Chicago North Shore (Skokie) for a stay with a heated indoor pool and hot tub, plus a restaurant and bar under the same roof. Touhy/Carpenter is a four-minute walk for transit, and O'Hare is twenty-two minutes by taxi. With 2,800 reviews averaging 7.2, it is well known but scores below several neighbours, so compare before booking.
- Walk to Sander's Family Restaurant & Pancake House four minutes away for breakfast on foot.
- Use the heated indoor pool regardless of season, since it runs year-round unlike outdoor alternatives nearby.
- Explore Touhy/Carpenter on foot to make the most of Skokie's rare walkability on this corridor.

Why guests love itA heated indoor pool and a hot tub are the family assets I would highlight at this Holiday Inn & Suites in Skokie, useful in any Chicago season. The restaurant and bar cover dinner on site, parking is free, and Touhy/Carpenter is four minutes away on foot. O'Hare is about twenty-two minutes by taxi. With a 7.2 rating from 2,800 reviews, I would book it for practicality rather than polish.
