The Spotlight on Chicago South Loop Hotel

Stylish Comfort in the Heart of South Loop

Modern and boutique in style, the Chicago South Loop Hotel is a laid-back, well-equipped spot just minutes from some of the city's biggest venues and attractions. Located in the vibrant South Loop, it’s close to McCormick Place and only a short ride from downtown Chicago. With free parking and free WiFi, it’s a convenient and budget-friendly base for your concert weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music fans appreciate the hotel’s proximity to McCormick Place and easy access to the Museum Campus and downtown venues. The location is ideal for catching a show and being back in your room within minutes. The hotel is tucked away from the busiest areas, meaning quieter nights for post-concert recovery. Plus, a 24-hour business center and early check-in (from 2 PM) make planning your stay a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends heading to a big arena show
Solo travelers ticking off a bucket-list band
Couples spending a musical weekend in the city
Fans seeking quiet after a loud night out
Budget-conscious music lovers who want freebies like parking and WiFi

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer a full-service restaurant, there are plenty of walkable dining spots nearby in Chinatown and the South Loop. For late-night eats, delivery options are widely available, and in-room spa tubs make for the perfect wind-down after a night out. Breakfast spots are also close by for a lazy morning after the show.

Nightlife Options

The South Loop area has a growing scene of bars and lounges, and you’re just a quick ride from Chicago’s best music clubs and rooftop bars. While there’s no on-site bar, the location puts you close to the action without being in the thick of it. Ideal for those who want options but appreciate some peace.

What People Say

Guests love the spacious rooms and often praise the large spa tubs as a post-concert treat. Free parking in Chicago is a huge plus, and many reviewers mention the hotel’s cleanliness and friendly staff. The location is often described as convenient, especially for events at McCormick Place or nearby music venues.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the surrounding area can feel a bit quiet or industrial, especially late at night. There’s also no on-site restaurant or bar, which might be a downside if you’re looking to hang out after the show without heading back out.

The Bottom Line

The Chicago South Loop Hotel is a smart pick for concert-goers who want comfort, convenience, and value—all just minutes from the music.

Very Good - 4.0 out of 5

Julia, Dayton, visiting Radius Chicago Tue, 8 March 2022

You get what you pay for and this hotel was much less expensive than many others in downtown Chicago and had a parking lot with parking included. But the room had old nasty carpet and the walls were dinged up and peeling in places. The hairdryer nor exhaust fan nor vending machine worked. The room had a weird stale odor. Customer service was really good though. It wasn't terribly inconvenient to downtown and bed and pillows were comfortable!

Liked: Customer Service. Comfortable beds.
Disliked: Outdated. Room had an odor.

Jesse, Ferndale, visiting XS Tennis Village

I really enjoyed my stay at the Chicago South Loop. This was my 3rd time staying there and I will stay there again. I even passed up staying at our host hotel.

Liked: Free parking; location; clean and friendly staff.
Disliked: Not enough parking - if you come back late you have to park on the street.

Adam, Cincinnati, visiting Thalia Hall

Great place to stay; very convenient location. If you're not interested in staying in the heart of the city, but want to be in a convenient location, this is a great option at a great price.

Liked: Convenient to highway; great parking; large, clean room; beds were comfortable.
Disliked: TV was satellite and since it stormed our entire stay, interrupted TV service.

Expensive with poor service

Liked: The staff during breakfast were rude. Everyone asked for eggs at 8:30am and were told the would not be making anymore
Disliked: The elevators continued to go out and we walked to the 3rd floor, lots of drug addicts in and out of the hotel, walked to all floors for ice and they were all out of order, extremely rude servers for breakfast and staff at the front desk refused to help. Paid over 500 dollars to receive crappy service
