Home2 Suites

Home2 Suites by Hilton Chicago McCormick Place serves as a modern anchor within a unique tri-branded hotel complex at McCormick Square. This property shares its footprint with a Hilton Garden Inn and a Hampton Inn, creating a hospitality hub that offers a depth of amenities rarely found in standalone extended-stay hotels. Its location is a logistical dream for convention attendees, featuring a direct skybridge connection to the McCormick Place convention center. Beyond the business focus, the hotel is situated in the burgeoning South Loop entertainment district, just steps from Wintrust Arena and a short walk from the historic Motor Row District.

Flexible Suites for Extended Stays

The accommodations here are designed with a “Working Wall” concept, a modular system that integrates the kitchen, workspace, and storage to maximize usable floor space. Guests can choose from studio and one-bedroom suites, all of which feature a clean, vibrant aesthetic with movable furniture that allows you to customize the room layout.

A key differentiator for long-term guests is the fully equipped in-suite kitchen. Each unit includes a full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and sink, along with induction burner cooktops available from the front desk. This setup empowers guests to prepare their own meals, a significant cost-saving and convenience factor. The rooms are tech-forward, featuring 50-inch HDTVs and free Wi-Fi, ensuring you stay connected and entertained.

Shared Amenities and Rooftop Views

Being part of a larger hotel complex grants guests access to an impressive array of shared facilities. A standout feature is the indoor pool, providing a year-round swimming option that is often missing from comparable properties. The fitness center is spacious and well-equipped, catering to those who want to maintain their workout regimen on the road.

One of the complex’s highlights is the VU Rooftop Bar, located on the 22nd floor. This venue offers sweeping views of Lake Michigan and the downtown skyline, providing a sophisticated setting for cocktails and small plates. For a more casual atmosphere, Fatpour Tap Works on the ground floor serves a wide selection of beers and hearty pub fare, making it a popular pre-game or post-convention hangout.

Neighborhood and Accessibility

The immediate neighborhood is a mix of historic architecture and modern development. You are walking distance from the Prairie Avenue Historic District, known for its Gilded Age mansions, and the lakefront path which connects to Soldier Field and the Museum Campus.

Public transportation is easily accessible, with the Cermak-McCormick Place Green Line station just two blocks away. This provides a direct link to the Loop and other city neighborhoods, making it easy to explore beyond the convention center district. The hotel also offers a complimentary hot breakfast daily, ensuring a solid start to your day of meetings or sightseeing.
