A manicured park. Waves crashing along the Lake Michigan.

When you`re here, you`re given a bird’s eye view of Chicago’s Front Yard, or more commonly known as Grant Park.

Drop your bags in your private space, complete with cozy beds, sky-high ceilings, and expansive windows allowing sunlight to pour in.

Make your way to the fitness center for a quick workout and then grab a breath of fresh air on the rooftop.

Time to hit the pavement. Saunter the art-filled halls at the Art Institute of Chicago. Wander past the 19th-century mansions on Prairie Avenue. Then fill your belly at The Dearborn (we recommend the mouth-watering fish and chips). Trade your sneakers for your go-to night-out pair. Let your ears guide you to the bustling bars. Try a new cocktail. Or order a pint and join the locals as they cheer on the Cubs.

Working, relaxing, living. Our spaces have all the other essentials you need for your stay.

You access the property on Michigan Avenue. You are given a PIN or virtual key to access the front door.

Once you get inside the building, you walk all the way back to the service elevator because it is the only elevator that takes you to the 12th floor Penthouse floor.

Once to the floor, you walk to your apartment. Once in the apartment, you will find a modern space with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a modern kitchen, and a living room equipped with TV.

You have private, full access to the unit, the shared rooftop, and the shared gym

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 — such as their names, ages, where they’re traveling from, or their travel plans — 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 × 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.

    Apartment was as advertised, and penthouse garden with vow was excellent. The cleanliness of the building was poor, especially the hallway to the rear elevator. It does not give a good impression. I had questions about the property, and the response back was excellent. Timely and accurate.

    This apartment is comfortable and perfectly located. Grant park is right across the street with easy access to the art museum, Field Museum and aquarium. Theaters are within easy walking distance, and there are many excellent restaurants within walking distance, a grocery store downstairs and a CTA station nearby. The host gave clear and prompt directions for entry to the property.Great place to use as a base to explore Chicago.

    This was an excellent option for exploring the city (even during the unexpectedly bad weather) - convenient, quiet, clean and space to work and relax. Possibly could do with another shelf or drawer (or hook or two for coats) but really a minor niggle. Recommended

    Furniture and fittings in apartment were first class, a very convenient location to cultural centres and downtown. Very quiet and cosy as the weather we had in Chicago was abnormally cold for early April. Everything was as described in the advertisement for booking the apartment. Would highly recommend for two couples with separate bedrooms and separate bathrooms

    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.

    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. Didn’t know about the building’s 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 he’d ever seen. Other friends wanted to know how to stay in this historic building.
