A 2018 newbie, the Wheelhouse features 21 rooms in a restored greystone building not far from Wrigley Field. The smallish rooms have an earthy, urban loft feel, with exposed brick walls, cool vintage decor and bold shades of peach, yellow and blue; some even have bunk beds. The playful, baseball-tinged vibe extends to the lobby's wood-bat ceiling and scoreboard wall.
The hotel is full of character. There's a popular, Detroit-style pan pizza restaurant on the ground level and a speakeasy-style lounge in the basement. It's located on a busy stretch of Clark St, so noise can be an issue for light sleepers.
