1. Graduate Evanston
You'll love how cozy the Graduate Evanston Hotel feels. The whole place has this cool retro college atmosphere paying tribute to Northwestern University. And wait until you see the guest rooms.
They went all out with the Northwestern pride featuring purple accents everywhere, plaid wallpaper and curtains, and vintage-looking couches and armchairs.
The hotel's also has The Graduate Homestead Room, a cozy little lounge and restaurant serving seasonal dishes and hand-crafted cocktails.
