Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Elmwood Park offers several distinct reasons to stay: the annual Taste of Elmwood Park, local history in the library’s Local History Room, and community sports and recreational activities. When planning, it’s important to decide which of these interests takes priority. The Taste is tied to specific event dates; library users need to make an appointment to visit the Local History Room. Sports and recreation offer a different focus, from the fitness center to golf and bocce, as well as the Aquatic Center features described in June 2024. These distinctions can help you plan your stay around your interests and then search specifically for hotels in Elmwood Park.

Taste of Elmwood Park: Restaurants and Arts and Crafts

The annual Taste of Elmwood Park takes place in Central Park at the intersection of 75th Avenue and Fullerton. The program brings together local restaurants and arts and crafts. If the Taste is the reason for your trip, plan your stay around the specific event date. Check the dates and program for your visit, as both can change. A Metra stop is located at 75th Avenue and Grand, right outside the Taste of Elmwood Park. For your journey, check the schedule and event-specific information for your planned visit date.

Local History by Appointment

The Local History Room at the Elmwood Park Public Library is available to library users by appointment. Confirm your arrangement with the library before your visit. Treat the room as a planned activity, rather than a stop you can drop into spontaneously. If local history is part of your trip, schedule this visit according to your appointment. This makes it different from a freely chosen stop: library access and arranging an appointment are part of the planning.

Fitness, Golf and Bocce

The Elmwood Park Community Center has a fitness center. The Elmwood Park Community and Recreation Building offers golf and bocce. These are different areas of focus: fitness on the one hand, and golf and bocce on the other. If staying active during your visit is important to you, first decide which of these activities interests you. The fitness center offers a different focus from the two activities at the Community and Recreation Building. Keep the name of each facility in mind when planning, so you can focus on the activity you want to enjoy.

Aquatic Center: Pool, Water Play and Slide

A description from June 2024 lists a pool with step-free access at the pool edge, a water play area with bubbling fountains, and a waterslide at the Aquatic Center. If you’re planning a visit to the Aquatic Center, first consider which of these three features matters most to you: pool-edge access, the fountains or the slide. Since the description dates from June 2024, check current opening hours and conditions of use before your visit. This will help you take the water features into account and plan your visit accordingly.
