Overview
This 2-bedroom apartment-style rental sits in a secure residential building in Chicago's South Loop, just steps from Grant Park. It's positioned as a smoke-free, professionally managed home-style stay rather than a traditional hotel, with 24/7 security and a staffed front door/doorman lobby. The listing is marketed as one of the top-rated short-term stays in Chicago, holding a 4.84 rating across 174 reviews.

The corner unit is reached by elevator and offers sweeping views of the Chicago skyline. It opens to a kitchen and living room, with one bedroom and bathroom to one side and a second bedroom and bathroom further along the unit, each equipped with comfortable king beds. Linens, towels, hair dryer, and a toilet paper starter pack are all provided.
Building Amenities
Guests have key-fob access to a shared rooftop deck with grills and skyline views, a business center, and a resident lounge. Coin-operated laundry ($2 wash / $2 dry) and an on-site gym with purchasable day passes are also available in the building. An attached parking garage operated by LAZ is available for $15-30 per night.
Location
The property is one block from the Red Line 'L' subway stop, with Green and Orange lines also nearby, giving quick access across Chicago. It sits close to Grant Park, Soldier Field, Museum Campus (Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium), Northerly Island, and McCormick Place, plus the historic Motor Row, Prairie Avenue, and Printer's Row districts with their restaurants, bookstores, and music venues.
Best for
This home suits travelers who want a residential, home-like base with hotel-style security near Chicago's lakefront museums, parks, and stadiums. It's well suited to groups or families needing two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and to visitors attending events at Grant Park, Soldier Field, or McCormick Place given the one-block walk to the 'L' subway.
Travel tips
Book parking in advance or check SpotAngels/SpotHero for alternatives, since the attached LAZ garage runs $15-30 per night and street parking rules should be checked carefully. The Red, Green, and Orange 'L' lines are one block away, making car-free sightseeing to downtown and the Museum Campus easy. Note that check-in is 4pm and check-out is 10am, with same-day bookings requiring host approval, so plan arrival times accordingly.
