The 6 Best Hotels in Chicago

If you hate the cookie-cutter experience of the typical hotel, this is the place for you. It’s a funky little B&B that feels like a friend’s house where people drop in for the weekend. Not luxurious but not a dump. Collections of cameras, pottery, prints from local artists, posters, thermos bottles, etc., etc., line walls and fill shelves. The weekend we were there, the guests were mostly people in their 20s, mostly in Chicago to see friends or family. The B&B has breakfast to order (pick omelettes, pancakes from the menu or just order what you like). Very generous servings. It’s located in a nice neighborhood near the Blue Line and, as the brochure says, within a mile and a half of 100 restaurants.  Rooms were clean, staff was great, food was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back. - M9395YFmarkp

Let’s see how people review this hotel

I was in town for business at a busy convention time.  I was lucky to get the last room available at this great B&B.  Our stay in the Everleigh Room was most enjoyable.  The rooms are large, have spa like bathrooms, and the morning breakfasts are great!  We were even treated to a Happy Hour with the owner one evening.  Highly recommended! - amybE743OW

Room was comfortable, breakfast delicious, communication was awesome. We paid the $25/day to park in their reserved spot, made things so much easier for us. Would highly recommend this place, so unique and interesting. - Greg44

We had a wonderful stay at the Publishing House last week! We were in the Dybek room and it was perfect. The room was bigger than we expected and very nicely decorated. The bed was the most comfortable bed that we have ever slept in! The whole vibe of the B&B is cool and sexy. It kind of feels like a hotel, but the common areas and amazing breakfast really level up the experience. We had breakfast twice at the B&B and the options were delicious! Fruit, pastry (the banana cake was to die for!!!), yogurt, and granola, in addition to the specials that you can choose from. Breakfast is served in this great common area and you can socialize as much or as little as you want with the other guests. Very neat! All of the staff that we interacted with were friendly and helpful. You can tell they care about providing great customer service. We were able to get early check in, which was much appreciated! They do not typically staff the front desk, but they are just a phone call or text away if you need anything. We had a small issue with our code not working and Kim helped us right away! The location was perfect. We love to take advantage of the walkability of places we travel to, so this was a great home base for hitting up the tourist spots during the day and heading out to fabulous restaurants (shout out to Monteverde and Aba!!) later on. We highly recommend the Publishing House!!! - kw4403
