Historic hotels in the South Loop & Printer’s Row

6 historic hotels · curated by Preservation Chicago

South of the Loop’s core lies Printer’s Row, the compact district that was once the center of Chicago’s printing and publishing trade. Its robust early-twentieth-century loft buildings have been converted into homes and hotels, while grand Michigan Avenue landmarks anchor the area along Grant Park.

The South Loop puts the Museum Campus, Grant Park, and the lakefront within walking distance, just south of downtown.
