Kasa River North

Kasa River North offers a distinct alternative to the traditional hotel circuit by placing you in a modern residential high rise at the intersection of the River North and Old Town neighborhoods. Located at 808 North Wells Street, this property caters to travelers who prefer the autonomy of a private apartment combined with the amenities of a luxury building. The location is less frenetic than the heart of the Loop but remains incredibly central, offering easy access to the boutique shopping of Oak Street and the cultural institutions of the Near North Side.

Apartments Designed for Daily Life

The accommodations here are fully furnished apartments, ranging from studios to multi bedroom layouts. Unlike standard hotel rooms, these units are designed for living, not just sleeping. You can expect open concept floor plans with high ceilings and large windows that flood the space with natural light and offer urban views. The aesthetic is contemporary and clean, featuring modern furniture and neutral tones that create a calming retreat.

Each unit comes equipped with a full kitchen, including a refrigerator, stove, oven, and dishwasher. This setup allows guests to prepare their own meals, a significant convenience for longer stays or those with dietary restrictions. In unit laundry machines are standard, eliminating the need to find a laundromat or pay for expensive hotel valet services. The living areas are set up for relaxation, with comfortable seating and streaming capable televisions.

Building Features and Amenities

The property offers a robust set of shared amenities that enhance the resident experience. During the warmer months, the rooftop deck is a major draw, featuring a seasonal outdoor pool and lounge seating where guests can soak up the sun and enjoy the skyline views. Grilling stations are available for outdoor dining, adding a social element to the space.

Inside, the fitness center is well equipped with cardio machines and strength training gear, often occupying a high floor with inspiring views. There are also communal lounge areas and coworking spaces, providing options for those who need to work remotely but want a change of scenery from their apartment. The building operates with a secure, contactless entry system, offering privacy and efficiency.

The Neighborhood Context

Staying at 808 North Wells puts you in a dynamic transitional zone. To the south lies the dense gallery district and nightlife of River North; to the north is the historic charm of Old Town. The street itself is lined with coffee shops, fitness studios, and casual dining spots.

Public transportation is highly accessible, with the Chicago Brown and Purple Line station just a few blocks away. This provides a direct and scenic rail link to the Loop and Lincoln Park. For grocery needs, several markets are within walking distance, making it easy to stock your kitchen.
