The Drake Oak Brook Hotel was voted No. 2 in the Midwest, No. 11 in the United States and No. 47 in the world in the Condé Nast Traveler 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards.
“The other awards we have won have been exciting, but this one is really extra special because it’s the gold standard,” said Jim Nagle, who along with his wife, Tely, purchased the Drake in 2013 and reopened it two years later.While the Nagles certainly are entitled to bask in the kudos for their hotel, Jim Nagle gives most of the credit to the approximately 120 employees who work at the Drake.
The commitment to excellence from the Drake team likely stems from the loyalty the Nagles showed employees when the coronavirus pandemic shut the hotel industry down in March 2020, a month after the Drake Oak Brook Hotel received designation as part of the Autograph Collection, a group of independent upper-upscale to luxury hotels within the Marriott International portfolio.
Nagle is particularly proud that the Drake has received recognition in a world that has many well-known, big city hotels in consideration. The history of the Drake in Oak Brook goes back to its original opening in 1962. In 2009, the hotel fell prey to a Ponzi scheme, shutting the doors.
