About Illinois

Dubbed ‘The Prairie State’, Illinois is a land of expansive forests, vast stretches of farmland and undulating hills — part of the sprawling American Midwest of legend. This largely rural region is, however, dominated by the US’s third-largest city: Chicago. Whether you’re tempted to discover the city’s epic food and cultural scene, or looking to explore wide open spaces on foot, bicycle or horseback, Illinois is a wonderful destination. Accommodation options range from simple B&Bs to swish urban hotels, with many of the best places to stay in Illinois clustered to the north.

Close to Illinois’ northern tip, glittering Chicago sits on the shores of enormous Lake Michigan. The city is famed for its industrial — and once reputedly rough — past. Now, however, Chicago is a creative hotspot, brimming with events and exhibitions for art, music and theatre lovers. Catch a summer festival in Millennium Park, see the Chicago Cubs raise the crowd to their feet at Wrigley Field, or visit cultural big-hitters, like the Art Institute of Chicago. Don’t miss tasting the fantastic array of classic Chicago dishes whilst you’re in the city!

For a more low-key, heritage base, look to lovely Galena. Set close to the Mississippi River, this hip little town boasts art galleries, craft beers and wine tasting rooms aplenty, as well as a number of historic homes — including that of Ulysses S Grant. Venture further afield for kayaking, fishing, hiking and cycling. The Thunder Bay Falls and Casper Bluff Land & Water Reserve will delight nature enthusiasts. Fans of the great outdoors can also enjoy the impressive Shawnee National Forest and striking Lake Michigan.

Whether you’re dreaming of scenic hikes or deep-dish pizza, the best places to stay in Illinois promise something for everyone!
