Step into the Deer Path Inn, a timeless Tudor-style hotel where upscale elegance meets cozy charm, offering refined dining, exceptional cocktails, and delightfully plush accommodations.
"The Deer Path Inn offers English-style charm, afternoon tea, a pub, two restaurants, plush rooms, and an inviting lobby with fireplaces and gorgeous furnishings. During my recent stay, I enjoyed a tasting in the Hidden Wine Cellar and a wonderful cocktail-making session with Master Mixologist Jorge Centeno, the Inn’s “Chief Spirits Officer.”" - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Deer Path Inn, located in Lake Forest, Illinois, is a runner-up and frequent reader favorite. The staff, including front desk, valet, restaurant, executive, and housekeeping, is praised as top-notch." - Cassidy Grubisic
"The main reason to go to Lake Forest now is a weekend away at the 57-room Deer Path Inn (from $329 per night), a fabulous, little-known gem that puts you in arm's reach of the shops and lake, and offers many experiences available only to guests. Opened in 1929 with the style of an authentic manor house, the elegant inn feels as storied and local as it does far-flung and English. Spacious, modern, and sophisticated rooms offer upscale amenities (think Frette linens and bathtubs that fill from the ceiling); recently, the inn began in-room delivery of its popular Afternoon Tea service, complete with a tower of tea sandwiches, petit fours, and tartelettes. Patio dining in the English Garden at Deer Path is scenic and doable in winter with heaters. Guests at the hotel can also reserve the inn’s hidden cellar for a new, private, and totally custom cocktail or wine tasting paired with dinner that's led by Deer Path’s fun and expert chief spirits officer, Jorge Centeno."
"Patrons feel instantly glamorous upon entering this inn, set in a suburban Tudor manor house and brimming with stone fireplaces, rich fabrics, and opulent chandeliers. The regal experience continues at the bar, where Jorge Centeno greets drinkers with a menu of thoughtful classics with fun spins (a “Winter G&T” with pine syrup and peppermint; a “Holiday Mule” with cranberry puree and cinnamon). That creativity plays into the martinis, too: A dirty martini is made with chrysanthemum flowers and bee balm brine over olives, and a Manischewitz martini features a garnish of latkes and jelly doughnuts." - Nicole Schnitzler
