Make the Most of Your Normal Stay

A college town with purpose

Normal earned its name from Illinois State Normal University, established in 1857 to train teachers. Today, Illinois State University anchors this city of 55,000 with academic energy and cultural programming extending beyond campus. The Uptown district represents one of the Midwest's most successful urban renewals, achieving the nation's first LEED-ND Silver certification with sustainable design centered on a distinctive circular plaza. The 1937 Normal Theater, a beautifully restored Art Moderne cinema, screens independent and classic films in an authentic vintage setting.

Route 66 heritage and modern amenities

The original Route 66 runs through Normal, with landmarks like the restored Sprague's Super Service station honoring the Mother Road's legacy. DESTIHL Brewery operates an impressive production facility and beer hall where award-winning sour beers pair with elevated gastropub fare. Business travelers benefit from Uptown Station, a multimodal hub connecting Amtrak's Chicago-St. Louis corridor with local transit, steps from the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center.

Strategic Midwest positioning

Central Illinois Regional Airport provides direct Delta service to Atlanta and connections beyond, while compact downtown makes rental cars optional for Uptown stays. Day trips to Springfield's Lincoln sites or Starved Rock's canyons lie within an hour. Members can apply miles toward accommodations in this efficiently designed city where Midwestern hospitality meets thoughtful urban planning.
