Inn at 835

Top choice in Illinois


This historic arts-and-crafts-style luxury apartment building from 1908 offers 11 rooms of the four-poster bed, claw-foot bathtub variety (along with two additional abodes in the adjacent Bell House). You're spoiled with nightly wine and cheese, and fresh-baked cookies delivered to your room.

Luxurious bed and bath linens, period furnishings and hardwood flooring throughout lend themselves to a wrinkle-in-time feeling – this is how the well-to-do did apartment living in the 20th century's infancy.
