Where to Stay When Visiting CDW (Chicago)
CDW's headquarters is in Vernon Hills, on Milwaukee Avenue. Match the hotel to the district — and the airport to the hotel. Chicago's spread and its two airports both matter.
CDW is an information-technology products and services provider, headquartered at 200 N Milwaukee Ave, Vernon Hills, IL 60061. That's the North Suburbs — the Lake Cook Road corporate corridor through Deerfield, Northbrook, and Riverwoods (and the North Shore towns just beyond), a dense cluster of headquarters campuses about 25 miles north of the Loop.
“CDW is in Vernon Hills off Milwaukee Avenue. The Lincolnshire and Deerfield hotels are a short drive; O'Hare is the airport.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
O'Hare (ORD) is the practical airport — about 30 minutes southwest of the Lake Cook corridor. Midway (MDW) is farther at about 45 minutes. For a North Suburbs visit, fly O'Hare.
Where should you stay near CDW?
Stay in the Deerfield / Northbrook / Lincolnshire area near CDW — the hotels here sit minutes from the campuses and about 30 minutes from O'Hare. Downtown Chicago is 25 miles south and the wrong base for a North Suburbs meeting.

What should you check before booking?

The standard
CDW is a Chicago HQ where two choices decide the trip: the district and the airport. Book near the office in the the North Suburbs area, fly O'Hare (ORD), and keep the wrong-side-of-town commute off your morning.
