Location & What’s Nearby

The hotel is about 0.6 miles from an El train station, with an approximately 22-minute ride to The Loop in Downtown Chicago. Popular attractions within reach include Wrigley Field (about 2.7 km), the Chicago Riverwalk (about 9.9 km), and Millennium Park/Cloud Gate (about 10.5 km). Major museums and lakefront sights such as Navy Pier (about 10.2 km), the Art Institute of Chicago (about 10.8 km), and Shedd Aquarium/Field Museum (about 12.3–12.4 km) are also accessible.

Best for

This hotel is best for travelers who want apartment-style space in a neighborhood setting, with full kitchens and in-unit laundry supporting longer stays. It also suits small groups or couples who value outdoor space and upgraded suite features such as balconies/patios with gas grills, fireplaces, soaking tubs, or (in penthouses) private rooftop decks. Guests who plan to mix neighborhood time with downtown sightseeing benefit from the nearby El access and quick ride to The Loop.

Travel tips

If you’re planning downtown sightseeing (Millennium Park, the Art Institute, the Chicago Theatre), factor in the roughly 22-minute El ride to The Loop from the nearby station (about 0.6 miles away). Wrigley Field is relatively close (about 2.7 km), making this a practical base for games or events. Suites are designed for self-catering, so consider grocery planning if you want to make use of the kitchen and in-suite grill-equipped outdoor spaces.

What guests say
