Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Loop
An honest budget option in the heart of the Loop that recently completed a thorough renovation — clean, contemporary rooms with good beds and fast Wi-Fi at rates that make the financial district location feel like a steal. The 24-hour front desk and self-check-in kiosks suit the independent traveller perfectly.
Fulton Market
The London boutique chain planted its flag in Chicago's hottest food neighbourhood — the former meatpacking Fulton Market District — with a thoughtfully restored industrial building, an excellent ground-floor brasserie, and rates that undercut comparable properties by 30%. Walking distance from the city's best restaurants including Smyth, Girl & the Goat, and Au Cheval.
River North
Richard Branson's take on the boutique hotel, set in a magnificent 1928 Mayan Revival skyscraper with rooms reimagined as 'Chambers' featuring a clever dressing room foyer, adjustable climate and lighting, and a fridge stocked at grocery-store prices. The Commons Club restaurant and bar is one of River North's most reliably enjoyable dining rooms.
Magnificent Mile
Named for Gwendolyn Brooks, Illinois's first Poet Laureate, this Art Deco hotel blends Chicago literary heritage with Marriott's Luxury Collection polish. The gold-leaf lobby ceiling and rooftop bar with Mag Mile views are defining features of this mid-range luxury sweet spot.
Loop
A stunning conversion of the 1923 London Guarantee Building at the confluence of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan, with a triple-tiered rooftop bar that claims some of the best urban views in the country. Rooms blend the building's Classical Revival exterior with a lively, colourful interior palette.
Fulton Market
The neighbourhood's original creative-class hotel, with rooms featuring local artist commissions, a lobby designed for lingering, and a rooftop with fire pits and a view of the West Loop skyline. The ground-floor restaurant and coffee bar hum with the energy of Chicago's creative and tech communities.
