Wrigleyville Inn

Wrigleyville Inn offers a unique lodging experience that feels less like a hotel and more like staying at a friend’s classic Chicago greystone. Positioned on West Newport Avenue, this guesthouse sits on a tree-lined residential street that provides a surprising sense of calm given its location. You are mere seconds away from the high energy intersection of Clark and Addison, the heart of Wrigleyville. This property appeals to travelers who want to be immersed in the neighborhood’s famous sports and nightlife culture but prefer a quiet, intimate place to recharge at the end of the night. It captures the authentic spirit of the North Side, blending vintage charm with essential modern comforts.

Home Like Accommodations

The accommodations at Wrigleyville Inn are distinct from the cookie cutter rooms found in large chain hotels. The property features a small selection of apartment style units, ranging from cozy garden level spaces to larger upper floor suites. These units are individually decorated, often retaining the character of the original building while offering updated amenities.

A key feature for many guests is the inclusion of full kitchens in the apartments. Equipped with refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, and dishwashers, these culinary spaces allow you to prepare your own meals—a significant convenience for families or groups attending a series of games or concerts. The living areas are furnished with comfortable sofas and flat-screen televisions, providing a true “living room” feel where you can relax before heading out to the ballpark. Bedrooms often feature memory foam mattresses and premium bedding to ensure a good night’s rest.

Amenities and Convenience

While it operates more like a guesthouse than a full service hotel, Wrigleyville Inn provides essential amenities that enhance the stay. A standout feature in this parking scarce neighborhood is the availability of free on site parking for guests, a rare and valuable perk that saves travelers the stress and expense of finding a spot on game days.

The property also includes laundry facilities, allowing guests to pack light or wash clothes during longer visits. A virtual front desk system streamlines the check in and check out process, offering efficiency and privacy. For those who enjoy fresh air, the terrace and outdoor furniture provide a pleasant spot to enjoy the neighborhood ambiance during warmer months.

The Neighborhood Experience

The location is the undisputed star here. You are a five minute walk from Wrigley Field, making it arguably one of the most convenient places to stay for Cubs fans. The surrounding streets are packed with legendary sports bars like Sluggers and the Cubby Bear, as well as a diverse array of dining options ranging from deep dish pizza to Thai cuisine.

Beyond the ballpark, the inn is close to the vibrant Boystown (Northalsted) corridor on Halsted Street, known for its nightlife and dining. The Addison Red Line station is just a short walk away, connecting you to the Loop, Lincoln Park, and the lakefront with ease.
