A landmark destination since the 1960s, The Drake Hotel Oak Brook sits just outside the excitement of Chicago. Over the years this elegant hotel welcomed notable visitors including royalty and film stars. After closing in 2009, the property was purchased in 2013 by Jim and Tely Nagle and thoughtfully restored to reflect its original grandeur. The hotel crest, Ubi Tempus Quietus, meaning “where time rests,” captures the Nagles’ intent to offer a peaceful retreat in each of the 84 guestrooms and throughout the public spaces, including the newly refreshed Flower Terrace.
Modern conveniences and historic charm combine at the Drake Hotel Oak Brook.

Guests can enjoy a refined Sunday Champagne Brunch served from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., offering a leisurely weekend dining experience.
As a full-service venue, the hotel supports meetings and special events with 11,300 square feet of flexible function space and comprehensive event services. Its convenient location places both major Chicago airports within approximately a 20-minute drive, making it an appealing choice for business travelers and out-of-town guests attending conferences or celebrations.
