Hampton Inn Chicago Downtown/N Loop

Top choice in Chicago


This unique property with a central location makes you feel like a road-tripper of yore. Set in the 1928 art deco Chicago Motor Club Building, the lobby sports a vintage Ford and a cool USA mural map from the era. The dark-wood-paneled rooms strike the right balance of retro vibe and modern amenities. Free wi-fi.

It's near the river, Magnificent Mile shops and Millennium Park.
