Lisle is a small village in the Chicago metropolitan area and it forms part of the DuPage County in the state of Illinois. Visitors to the hotels Lisle provides would find themselves in the 'Illinois Technology and Research Corridor'. Scientists attending conferences at any of these venues would find suitable accommodation in hotels close by. This village also houses the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region III headquarters. The residents of the town are called "Lileseans" or "Lilacs" and the town has already been listed by a popular magazine as one of the "100 Best Places to Live". A visit to Lisle could be advantageous for single persons, as the village has also been listed as the "Best Place for the Rich and Single".

The companies, Molex and SXC Health Solutions operate from Lisle. Amongst the top ten private company employers in the city are McCain Foods, Hilton Hotel and Unilever Foodsolutions.

The town is home to the 1,700 acre Morton Arboretum where the visitor will find gardens displaying various tree and plant collections from several geographical and taxonomical areas. Guests at the hotels Lisle presents are encouraged to visit the arboretum if only to revel in native woodlands and the Schulenberg Prairie, one of the largest restored prairies in the Chicago area. Many different species of shrubs and trees from across the globe are housed here and more than 186,000 plants are catalogued. Hire a bicycle or bring your own and enjoy the nine miles of roads, or hike the sixteen miles of hiking trails. An interactive children's garden will keep the young ones busy and the maze garden will offer an interesting challenge. Other places of interest in the arboretum are the Ground Cover Garden, Hedge Garden and Fragrance Garden. The arboretum has an extensive educational program for those interested in nature and plant life. The on-site Sterling Morton Library is a member of the Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries and holds volumes and volumes of books, magazines, prints, drawings and the like.

Other attractions in Lisle are the Lisle Park District's outdoors village museum, Lisle Station Park and Four Lakes Ski Hill, a destination for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts in the area. The city of Chicago and its many attractions are only a Metro train station away from the hotels Lisle offers and guests who are new to the area are encouraged to visit the city and all it has to offer.

The area is home to a number of schools, colleges and universities, including the Benet Academy and the College of DuPage, or COD, a two-year community college in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. The COD Meteorology Department was the first college to offer storm chasing for college credits. A weekend adventure became a full-scale college course. The Meteorology Department offers classes such as Severe Weather Lab, Unusual Severe Weather and Mesoscale Meteorology to train students to chase and forecast severe weather events. Many of these students have moved on to universities and beyond to staff such places as TV stations, the National Weather Service, Severe Storms Laboratory and Center for Atmospheric Research. Benet Academy is a college-preparatory, co-educational Benedictine high school overseen by the Diocese of Joliet. Admission to the academy is competitive and test scores determine who makes it and who doesn't. St. Procopius Abbey owns and operates Benet and many of the Benedictine community's monks have taught at the school.
