Jaslin Hotel

Why it made the list

In town to see the White Sox play at Guaranteed Rate Field? Hotel options on the South Side are limited, but this cool boutique hotel is only 1.5 miles away, in Chinatown. Open since 2016, some of the rooms flaunt Chicago-skyline views and there's a cheery red-and-white decor theme.

Chinatown's first and only boutique hotel is stylish and coz Read More

#4

Chicago Athletic Association

Why it made the list

Before this building morphed into a hotel, it was a men's club for the elite, including William Wrigley Jr. (who once owned a stake in the Chicago Cubs). If you're a fan of all sports then this hotel is for you. While it's close to Soldier Field (7-minute drive) and convenient to United Center and Wrigley Field via L stops, back at the hotel are reminders of old-school sports in the Game Room (shuffleboard, anyone?).

Hotel Versey

Why it made the list

Pretty much the most boutique-y hotel you're going to find close to Wrigley Field, the lobby in this former Days Inn (in 2017 it transformed into Hotel Versey) is packed with Cubs memorabilia, perfect if you're in town to see your Cubbies win at Wrigley Field, 1.3 miles from the hotel and a quick 10-minute ride north on North Clark Street.

Hilton Chicago

On a busy day the lobby of this Hilton--a bustling conventio Read More

Ace Hotel Chicago

Why it made the list

Just 1.2 miles from United Center--home turf for the Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bowls, on the Near West Side--this edgy property has siblings in Palm Springs; Portland, Ore.; and New York City and is the brand's newest property. It opened in 2017, flaunting an industrial-chic look within a building once used by Italian-Americans to make cheese.

One of America's edgiest hotel brands is now in Chicago. Read More
