Best Hotels with a Restaurant in North Side
Fourteen North Side hotels operate a restaurant on site, more than carry a bar, since a suburban office-park corridor often needs dinner covered even where a standalone lounge does not make sense. Chicago Marriott Suites Deerfield pairs restaurant service with an outdoor pool and gym, while The Glen Club folds its restaurant into a golf clubhouse rather than a standard hotel dining room. Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Deerfield sits two minutes' walk from Portillo's, a genuine Chicago-area chain, for anyone who wants a restaurant option beyond the hotel's own kitchen. Between on-site dining and nearby options like Portillo's, most guests on this list can cover an evening meal without a long drive.
Restaurants attached to North Side hotels lean casual and business-focused, matching the corridor's broader character: expect an American bistro or a hotel dining room built for a quick dinner after meetings, not a chef-driven destination. Lincolnshire and Deerfield carry the strongest concentration of restaurant-equipped properties, likely tied to the same office parks and golf courses that shape this corridor's business and leisure travel alike. The Glen Club is the clear outlier, its restaurant tied to golf rather than hotel dining specifically, worth knowing before booking if a standard hotel restaurant is what a guest actually wants.
Where to stay
Dinner Covered After a Long Day
Restaurant service on this corridor mostly means a casual, business-hotel dining room rather than a destination restaurant worth a special trip. Lincolnshire Marriott Resort stands out with four separate dining options alongside its golf course and spa, more variety than any other property on this list. Chez Hotel offers a more modest pairing, breakfast and a restaurant alongside golf access and free parking, useful for a traveler who wants dinner covered without the resort-scale price tag that comes with Lincolnshire's fuller package.
Lincolnshire Marriott Resort leads this list with four separate dining options alongside its golf course and spa, an 8.8 rating built for a multi-night stay where variety at dinner actually matters. Eight taxi-minutes from Par-King Skill Golf and a five-minute walk from Three Embers Restaurant give guests both on-site and nearby options depending on the night. The twenty-five-minute O'Hare taxi run and one-hour-thirty-two-minute transit option are longer than most of this list, a fair trade-off for a property built around a longer resort stay rather than a quick layover between flights.
At an 8.2 rating, Chicago Marriott Suites Deerfield backs restaurant service with a cocktail bar and an outdoor pool, two minutes' walk from Parkway Grill for a second dining option nearby. The all-suite layout means a guest can order in and eat in an actual living space rather than perched on a hotel bed, a small but real comfort after a long day. Eight taxi-minutes from Par-King Skill Golf rounds out a stay that works for both a business trip and a golf weekend, with the suite layout giving room service somewhere better than a bed to land.
Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Deerfield rates 8.0 and pairs its restaurant with a twenty-four-hour gym and indoor pool, three minutes' walk from Portillo's for anyone wanting a well-known Chicago-area chain instead of hotel dining. Nine taxi-minutes from Chicago Botanic Garden and twenty-one from O'Hare, it suits a traveler who wants restaurant flexibility, hotel dining some nights and Portillo's on others, without needing a car for either option most evenings during a multi-night business stay near Deerfield's office corridor. The twenty-four-hour gym pairs well with the restaurant too, a workout before or after dinner without leaving the building at all.
The Glen Club rounds out this list at an 8.2 rating, its restaurant built into an eighteen-hole golf clubhouse rather than a conventional hotel dining room, alongside free breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking. Nine minutes' walk from Kohl Children's Museum, it suits a golf trip or family visit where dinner naturally follows a round or a museum afternoon. Anyone expecting a standard hotel restaurant menu should know this one leans into a clubhouse atmosphere instead, golf crowd and all, which is either a plus or a drawback depending on the trip.
A traveler's perspectiveFor dinner without getting back in the car, I would book Lincolnshire Marriott Resort, which has four dining options alongside its golf course, spa and pools. On a tighter work schedule, my pick would be Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Deerfield: it has its own restaurant and a twenty-four-hour gym, and Portillo's, the Chicago-area hot dog and Italian beef chain, is three minutes' walk away.
4.5Guest scoreRestaurantThe Glen Club
An eighteen-hole course built into the stay
View hotel →Why guests love itThe Glen Club splits a family day well: one parent can play the eighteen-hole course while the others walk nine minutes to Kohl Children's Museum. Breakfast is included, and kitchen-equipped rooms make simple meals easy for younger children. The restaurant and bar cover dinner, and parking is free. A 9 rating across 706 reviews backs it up. I would reserve it for a golf-minded family rather than a single night.

4.1Guest scoreRestaurantHyatt Regency Deerfield
Event space and a bistro for a polished stay
View hotel →Why guests love itThe Hyatt Regency Deerfield is an upscale 4-star hotel shaped around events and business travel, and I would say so plainly to families. The listing mentions no pool, so younger children have less to do on site. What it does offer is a casual American bistro and lounge, an exercise room and a spot seven minutes' walk from Lake Cook Rd & Wilmot Rd. O'Hare is nineteen taxi-minutes away.

A heated pool in Skokie's walkable pocket
View hotel →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.
Local tips
- 1Book Lincolnshire Marriott Resort if dinner variety across a multi-night stay matters more than proximity to O'Hare.
- 2Choose Courtyard Deerfield for the flexibility of hotel dining plus a three-minute walk to Portillo's nearby.
- 3Pick The Glen Club specifically for a golf-clubhouse dinner atmosphere, not a standard hotel restaurant menu.
- 4Confirm restaurant hours directly. Suburban hotel restaurants here often close earlier than a downtown Chicago venue would.
- 5Ask about room service at Chicago Marriott Suites Deerfield if eating in the suite matters more than a dining room.
- 6Check nearby options like Parkway Grill or Portillo's as a backup on any night the hotel restaurant is fully booked.
