Overview
This is a spacious 3-bedroom penthouse-style vacation rental occupying the top (8th) floor of a residential building in the Printers Row pocket neighborhood, just south of the Chicago Loop. The unit opens into a professionally designed loft layout with a dining area, kitchen island, living room, and a full daybed in the main living space. Guests reach the unit via building elevator, with a keyless entry system used for building and unit access.
Rooms & Layout
Beyond the main living area, the home includes three bedrooms plus a den, offering extra sleeping space for larger groups, and a full bathroom down the hall. The layout is designed to let a family of five or more spread out comfortably, with guests specifically noting the ample shared living space and abundance of beds and couches.
Amenities & Recreation
In-unit amenities include a full kitchen with oven/stove and microwave, washer for laundry, air conditioning and heating (with new HVAC split units), cable TV, free Wi-Fi, and a private balcony/patio with a cityscape view. Guests also have access to a building fitness center and shared laundry facilities, and the property is pet-friendly and smoke-free, with a crib available for younger travelers.
Location
The penthouse sits in Printers Row, a historic former printing-industry district known for tree-lined streets, architecturally significant buildings, and a mix of restaurants, boutiques, and antique shops. It is a short walk to Millennium/Grant Park, the Skydeck, Shedd Aquarium, Soldier Field, and the wider Museum Campus, and is within a few minutes' walk of several restaurants including Half Sour, First Draft, Taco Maya, Buddy Guy's Legends, Kitty O'Sheas, TAK Korean Bistro & Karaoke, 720 South Bar & Grill, and Panchos Rooftop Cantina.
Transit Access
The location benefits from excellent transit connectivity, with the Harrison subway station just 186m away, LaSalle subway station 416m away, and Roosevelt subway station 592m away, plus LaSalle Street train station 529m away and Chicago Union Station 1199m away. Chicago Midway International Airport is roughly 14km away and O'Hare International Airport about 26km away.
Best for
This penthouse suits groups and families of up to six or more travelers who want a spacious, multi-bedroom home base with room to spread out, thanks to its three bedrooms, den, and full daybed in the living area. It's also well suited to transit-reliant travelers, sitting within a few minutes' walk of three subway stations and two train stations, and to pet owners thanks to its pet-friendly policy (with associated fees).
Travel tips
Rely on the nearby Harrison, LaSalle, and Roosevelt subway stations (all within roughly 600m) plus LaSalle Street and Union Station for getting around without a car, as the neighborhood carries a very high walk and transit score. If driving, plan ahead using parking apps to find nearby lots, since dedicated on-site parking is not part of the listing. Note that building access is via an emailed digital key system and elevator to the 8th floor, so arrange check-in details in advance.
