Historic Building Accommodations
The Publishing House Bed & Breakfast occupies a 110-year-old brick building that previously housed a publishing house, casket factory, and holography museum. The 11 air-conditioned rooms feature heated floors, flat-screen TVs with streaming services, soundproof walls, and Malin+Goetz toiletries. Select rooms include wine/champagne, bathrobes, and private bathrooms with walk-in showers.
On-Site Dining Options
Breakfast includes poached eggs with smashed sweet potato and crispy kale, plus a buffet with fresh fruit, juices, and baked goods. The kitchen serves hearty, ever-changing specials, and complimentary sodas, sparkling water, and coffee are available all day. The property hosts occasional seven-course Modern Persian dinners with wine pairings through JOON events.
Event Spaces & Recreation
The Great Room with fireplace and piano hosts cocktail events for 60 people or seated dinners for 35. The Print Room accommodates 20 for meetings or 16 for private dinners. Guests receive $10 daily passes to West Loop Athletic Club. The property includes an attached winery and offers concierge services.
West Loop Location Access
Located in Chicago's West Loop, the property is 1.5 km from United Center and Skydeck Chicago, 2 km from Chicago Riverwalk, and 2.5 km from Cloud Gate. The area features Randolph Street Market for vintage shopping, Michelin-starred restaurants on Randolph Street, and multiple pubs and live music venues. Midway International Airport is the nearest airport.
Guest Services & Policies
The owners live on-site with two pugs and provide prompt service. Parking offers two off-street spots for $25/night on weekends, with free street parking available. The property welcomes teenagers 13+ and infants under 1, but does not accept pets. Lost keys incur a $50 re-keying fee. Solo Salon on the first floor offers wedding hair, makeup, and barbershop services.
“This hotel reimagines the B&B, ditching tired aesthetics for curated rooms in a landmark publishing house. I found the culinary focus particularly striking, more ambitious than the usual breakfast buffet, and it's a prime spot to deep-dive into Chicago's vibrant West Loop.”
