Chicago neighborhoods
24 historic hotels · curated by Preservation Chicago
Just across the Chicago River from the Loop, the Near North Side gathers some of the city’s most famous addresses — the Magnificent Mile, River North, the Gold Coast, and Streeterville all fall within it. The result is the widest range of historic hotels in Chicago, from grand Michigan Avenue landmarks to intimate boutique conversions tucked into former warehouses and apartment buildings.
It is a walkable, energetic part of the city, close to the river, the lakefront, Navy Pier, and the shops and restaurants that draw visitors from around the world.
