The building was indeed a publishing house more than a century ago, and it’s now transformed so it looks like the stylish home of your coolest city friend. The 11 warm-toned rooms, each named for a Chicago writer, have hardwood floors, mid-century modern decor and original art on the walls. A fireplace and reading nooks fill the cozy common areas.
Breakfast is a full cooked affair with French press coffee. The location puts you steps from hot-spot restaurants and bars. Then again, you could just head to the atmospheric wine bar in the building’s basement.
