Why this building matters

City Suites belongs to a distinctly Chicago tradition: the jazz-age neighborhood hotel. In the 1920s, Lakeview filled with stylish residential and transient hotels clustered around the elevated lines, giving North Siders an affordable, sophisticated way to live near the lake. City Suites keeps that spirit alive — a small, characterful boutique with Art Deco styling, just steps from the Belmont station, in a neighborhood that has kept its early-20th-century texture.

What guests are saying

What guests love

  • Intimate scale — just 45 individually styled rooms and suites, with a warm, Art Deco–tinged lobby and a fireplace.
  • A location at the center of everything Lakeview and Northalsted: theaters, vintage shops, restaurants, and nightlife, with Wrigley Field and Belmont Harbor close by.
  • The Belmont L (Red, Brown, and Purple lines) is right outside — downtown is a quick, easy ride.

What to keep in mind

  • A small neighborhood hotel — cozy rooms, limited on-site amenities
  • Lively area on game days and weekends

Best for Cubs fans, festival-goers, and travelers who want a characterful, well-priced base in a real Chicago neighborhood rather than a downtown tower.
