Welcome to Book It, our monthly look at a buzzy new hotel or resort we're excited about.

Embracing the holiday spirit in a big way this year? Check into the Home Alone suite at the Graduate Evanston, located in a charming Chicago suburb.

What to Know

Relive your favorite childhood Christmas movie while staying in The Graduate Evanston’s famed Home Alone suite. It’s basically a love letter to every millennial and Gen Z kid who grew up quoting "Keep the change, ya filthy animal." Conveniently located a few miles from the original Home Alone house, this iconic suite serves nostalgia on a silver platter—with extra cheese, of course.

Inside, you'll find framed photos of the McCallister family, mugshots of the Wet Bandits and even an empty tarantula cage (don’t worry, no eight-legged friends included). Snack like it’s 1990 with a pizza delivery from Little Nero’s and munchies galore while binging the first two Home Alone movies on an old-school TV. Head to the hotel bar for a festive nightcap.

Not planning a Chicago trip yet? No stress. This suite is available year-round, so you can channel your inner Kevin whenever. Plus, The Graduate Evanston’s prime location near Northwestern University makes it a go-to for prospective students, parents and anyone still vibing with their college era. Rates at the Graduate Evanston start at $133 per night. Book here.
