Homewood Suites

This property distinguishes itself primarily through its location. Situated on the edge of the Fulton Market District and the West Loop, the hotel places guests in the epicenter of Chicago’s modern dining revolution. Unlike the tourist centric Magnificent Mile or the business heavy Loop, this neighborhood offers a grittier, more authentic urban experience characterized by converted warehouses, cobblestone streets, and an incredible density of Michelin starred restaurants. It is the ideal base for food lovers who want to be able to walk to some of the city’s most celebrated tables, such as Girl & The Goat, Au Cheval, and Monteverde.

Suite Living with Urban Views

The accommodations here are exclusively suites, designed to provide a sense of home for travelers who might be in town for a few days or a few weeks. The layouts are generous, with studio and one bedroom options that feature distinct areas for working, sleeping, and relaxing. A major highlight is the full kitchen in every suite. These are equipped with a full sized refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and twin burner stove, allowing guests to prepare meals with ease.

Many of the corner suites offer impressive views of the Chicago skyline, thanks to the floor to ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light. The decor is contemporary and functional, featuring ergonomic workstations and comfortable seating areas that make the room feel livable rather than just a place to sleep.

Hotel Features and Social Spaces

The amenities at this Homewood Suites are designed to enhance the extended stay experience. A key feature is the indoor pool, a welcome perk for families or lap swimmers looking to relax after a day of walking. The fitness center is well equipped for maintaining a routine on the road. Uniquely, the hotel features the “Fulton Tap,” a self pour beer and wine wall located in the lobby area. This amenity allows guests to sample local craft brews on their own schedule, reflecting the neighborhood’s strong brewery culture.

Outdoors, the Fulton Garden Terrace provides a seasonal urban oasis where guests can get fresh air and enjoy the cityscape. Complimentary hot breakfast is served daily, ensuring a solid start to the morning, and the hotel hosts evening socials on select weeknights with light bites and drinks.

Getting Around

While the immediate area is walkable and packed with amenities, the hotel is also highly connected to the rest of the city. It is located just blocks from the Ogilvie Transportation Center and Union Station, making it incredibly convenient for rail travelers. The Clinton Green and Pink Line station is a short walk away, offering fast access to the Loop and other neighborhoods.
