Where to stay near W.W. Grainger
The go-to pick is Lincolnshire Marriott Resort — A full-service resort with extensive meeting and event space, central to the Lake County campuses — the pick for hosting or a working meeting.. The office sits in Lake Forest, in the North Suburbs (100 Grainger Pkwy), so book to that submarket rather than defaulting to “downtown.” See the full verified shortlist for W.W. Grainger →
