The South Loop is such a dynamic mix of attractions and histories that the neighborhood tends to be seen as many different things to many different people. Consider the assorted areas that comprise the South Loop:
Much of its eastern edge is encompassed by the Museum Campus, an impressive collection of cultural treasures that includes the Field Museum, Adler Planetarium and Shedd Aquarium. This campus sits on scenic lakefront parklands that are an extension of Grant Park. With 319 acres of green space and recreational fields, Grant Park is known as `Chicago`s front yard` to locals and also plays host to major city events such as Taste of Chicago, Chicago Blues Festival and Lollapalooza.
Jutting out further into Lake Michigan is Northerly Island, a peninsula sought out by nature lovers, while along the southern edge the sports fans know Soldier Field as the stadium for the beloved Chicago Bears football team. Meeting attendees are most familiar with McCormick Place, the largest convention center in the country, which is also in the immediate area.
And yet there are even more facets to the South Loop. History buffs point out the Motor Row District along South Michigan Avenue and nearby Prairie Avenue District, the `Millionaire`s Row` that was lined with mansions belonging to Chicago`s most wealthy elite during the end of the 19th century.
In the adjacent Printer`s Row neighborhood, urban loft condos now fill the commercial spaces in what was formerly the center of the Midwest`s publishing industry. Connections to this past are still seen within the venerable, independent book store and annual summer lit fest here. But business professionals and students have brought new life and redevelopment (though the vibe remains mellow), filling the restaurants, music clubs, smaller theaters and museums that have all established themselves in the community.
We are very central and in close walking distance to the subway stops at Roosevelt and Harrison. We recommend NOT renting a car, and walking, ubering, and using public transit for your stay.
*There is a flight of stairs to access the elevator

All guest names and ages must be registered before you are allowed to check in.
Guest Verification As part of our vetting process, we may ask guests to confirm a few details โ such as their names, ages, where theyโre traveling from, or their travel plans โ before accepting a booking. In some cases, we may also request a valid government-issued ID for verification purposes. This helps us ensure that all stays are safe, transparent, and in line with our house policies.
Unresponsive Guest In some cases, if a guest does not respond within a reasonable period, we reserve the right to cancel the reservation. For same-day bookings, this timeframe is up to 2 hours or less. For all other bookings, this timeframe is up to 8 hours. This ensures that we can provide the best experience and availability for all our guests.
Online Check-In & Rental Agreement Required Before receiving check-in instructions, all primary guests must complete our online check-in form and review/sign our rental agreement. This helps verify guest details and ensures a smooth, secure arrival.
EXTRA GUEST CHARGE The base price covers 4 guests. For more than 4 guests, there is an extra guest fee of $10 per guest for the full number of nights. Example: 1 extra guest for a 5-night stay = $10 ร 5 nights = $50.
Refundable Security Deposit: A $300 refundable security deposit is required and will be `held` or `authorized` (not `charged`) by Chicago Hospitality Club on your card. Any property damage or extra charges may be deducted from the deposit. VRBO collects platform payments/charges separately, while Chicago Hospitality Club handles the deposit, so seeing both on your statement is normal. The deposit is automatically released 3-7 days after checkout.
Keys & AirTags: For transparency, some building keys or fobs may have an AirTag attached for loss prevention. The AirTag is only used to locate the key if it is lost and is never used to track guests or their movements. Guests are not required to carry the key at all times, but we recommend keeping the AirTag attached to help avoid replacement charges if the key is misplaced. โNo Local Guests (City or Suburbs) ๐Quiet hours: 10pm to 8am ๐Minimum age of 25 to book

We had an excellent stay and were very pleased with the accomodations. Can't beat the location as Museum Campus is only a brisk fifteen minute walk away or jump on the nearby EL station to head for some shopping. Excellent trip for my family of six!
We had a wonderful stay. It was so close to so many things. We did take a Lyft to Navy Pier but walked so many other places. The view is stunning!!! Would definitely stay here again.
Great location, lovely rooftop vista, really comfy, great place to see fireworks on Saturdays, convinient grocer right downstairs, convinient parking nearby, easy access to parks and Fine Art Institute. Great place.
Perfect getaway for me, my wife, our teenage daughter and the exchange student that is living with us this school year. While I had spent time in Chicago for work many times on the past, the girls had never been so it was a quick get-away for them to experience something new. The rental and location were perfect for our needs. We did nearly all our sightseeing on foot - no need for a car.
Our stay was great. When we walked in the room it was nice and warm. It looked clean and well decorated. A little compact but the perfect amount of space for a family of 5. We had extra towels and a washer/dryer to use with laundry soap. I was super happy about the laundry accessibility.
We had the best time. Accommodations were great. Just what weโd expected. Penthouse is in a great area with a little grocery store at ground level. Within walking distance to soooo many attractions, restaurants and coffee shops.
Great location. Easy access to everything. Convenient store right next door open till 11pm. Beautiful and clean unit, however felt smaller than images, was still a pleasant stay. Great view from the deck. 24hr parking just around the corner. Cheaper than parking at the Hilton. Would consider staying here again.
Great location in historic Johnson publishing building. Didnโt know about the buildingโs history until after we got there and looked at the plaque by the entrance. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Watched fireworks over the lake from the patio. A visitor who had grown up in Chicago said it was the best view of the city heโd ever seen. Other friends wanted to know how to stay in this historic building.
My wife and I hosted my family for Christmas in Chicago this year. Our place is too small to have everyone stay with us so we needed a VRBO rental nearby. This place did not disappoint!! Very comfortable, clean, and well-kept place with a nice view of the lake and access to the building rooftop terrace. There is also a gym and an in-unit washer/dryer! Perfect place for a city โstaycationโ or for hosting out of town guests. Hope to book this again for future family visits!
Spent 4 nights here w/ my 18yr-old nephew for his high school graduation trip and it was everything I wanted for our trip! Perfect location (short walk to all the major sites or to Red Line train for things north like Wrigley) and the building is very quiet. I expected to hear street noise or other people (big city stuff) and heard nothing! The place is very clean and is as pictured. Communication with owners was great. Would recommend to anyone looking to experience all Chicago has to offer right outside your door.
