Fieldhouse Jones

Top choice in Chicago


This hip hotel occupies a vintage, redbrick dairy warehouse. It's great value for the Gold Coast, drawing a wide range of travelers – global backpackers, families – for its quality rooms and sociable common areas. There are standard hotel rooms, studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments, all with en-suite bathrooms, wi-fi and fun, sporty decor (dartboard wall art, old trophies etc).

Communal hangouts include the gymnasium-inspired lounge and coffee bar on the lobby level, and the game room – with Ping-Pong, air hockey and even slot-car racing! – in the basement. Parking costs $20.
