Historic hotels in the Theatre District

16 historic hotels · curated by Preservation Chicago

Chicago’s Theatre District clusters around Randolph and State Streets, where a row of lovingly restored movie palaces and playhouses lights up the Loop after dark. Several of the district’s historic office and theater buildings have found new life as hotels, placing guests within a short walk of curtain time.

It is an ideal base for anyone in town for a show, with downtown dining and the rest of the Loop’s landmarks close at hand.
