A boutique paradise, this stunning resort lies right on the Fox River in one of Illinois' most beautiful resort towns out in the Chicago suburbs. Nothing is more peaceful than a waterfront getaway.
Situated on a former site of the Pottawatomie Native American tribe, this hotel has been many things. It was built to be a dairy creamery in 1874. In 1993, it became a hotel, and more space was added on both in 2001 and 2003 to accommodate more rooms and the spa.
Visitors enjoy nearby activities such as golfing, artisan shops, art galleries, and the Geneva History Center, which features engaging exhibits and tours. There's also a Japanese Garden, the Fabyan Forest Preserve, and the Fox River Trail to explore.
Room rates start at about $250 per night and can exceed $600 for the couple's package, which includes a balcony overlooking the river, heated marble floors, a fireplace, a whirlpool tub, and more.
Other possible amenities, depending on your room, at this resort include a coffee maker, plush robes, luxury bath products, European-style continental breakfast, and nightly turn down service with cookies and milk.
A night's stay might be out of the budget, but if you're lucky, you'll get to visit for an event. Many weddings and corporate retreats can be scheduled here in addition to romantic overnights and spa weekends.
Of course, most people visit for the spa treatment, which is perfect for couples. The resort offers in-room massages, facials, body treatments, and waxing. There is also a serenity room and rain shower.
The hotel also sells specials such as romance, breakfast, spa, and girls' getaway packages. Whether or not you book a little something extra with your stay, you'll still have a wondrous time.
Like any good resort, there's also a fantastic restaurant. Enjoy fine dining at Atwater's, which is rightfully named and which can be visited by locals looking for a luxurious meal.
You could even throw a dinner party in the gazebo for a unique and intimate experience.
The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. It specializes in soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, seafood, steak, duck, and other upscale dishes.
No matter the occasion, this waterfront resort in Geneva has everything you need to make your getaway pleasant and relaxing. You get to escape to a whole other world when you stay here.
