The Spotlight on Kinzie Hotel

Stylish River North Stay Close to Chicago's Best Music Venues

Modern and effortlessly cool, Kinzie Hotel is a boutique gem located in the vibrant River North district of Chicago. Just a quick 5-minute walk to the famed Magnificent Mile and close to some of the city’s top concert venues, this hotel blends comfort, convenience, and character. With thoughtful extras like personalized concierge services, free WiFi, and in-room massage service, Kinzie is a chic and stress-free base for your music-filled getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Kinzie nails it. You'll be within walking distance to several of Chicago's major music venues, not to mention surrounded by great spots for a pre-show dinner or post-gig nightcap. Rooms are surprisingly quiet for such a central location—perfect for recharging after a live show. The complimentary nightly drink reception adds a social vibe, while the 24-hour fitness and business centers let you keep your schedule flexible.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to stay in the middle of the action
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list concert
- Couples turning their concert into a River North weekend
- Fans who want a quieter, stylish space to unwind after the music
- Budget-conscious travelers who still want boutique comfort

Food and Drink Options

Late-night hunger won’t be an issue here. Kinzie partners with Public House Gastropub for in-room dining, offering comfort food favorites like Mac N' Cheese and sliders. A continental breakfast is included in your stay, perfect for recovering from a late night. While there’s no full restaurant onsite, you’re surrounded by some of Chicago’s best eateries within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

The Double Cross Lounge inside the hotel sets the tone each night with a complimentary drink and hors d'oeuvres during the nightly reception. Step outside and you’re in the heart of River North’s bar scene—expect everything from craft cocktail lounges to live music bars within minutes.

What People Say

Guests rave about the friendly staff, stylish rooms, and the unbeatable location. Many mention how clean and comfortable the rooms are, with special praise for the bathrobes and slippers. The nightly drink reception is a consistent crowd-pleaser, as is the easy access to shops, restaurants, and entertainment.

Areas for Improvement

While the breakfast is convenient, some guests wish it had more variety. There’s no on-site restaurant or bar beyond the lounge, which might be a downside if you’re looking to dine in more extensively. Parking can be pricey—but that’s pretty standard for downtown Chicago.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a stylish, central, and comfortable home base in Chicago, Kinzie Hotel hits all the right notes.

Pretty cool hotel. Beware the drinks and food stashed in your room ($$$$), it looks very delicious at 3am after a show. Bathroom was great. The added sewing kit was particularly useful for me. The doorman was a little rude to me when a porter was helping me make a phone call (I'm deaf). That was my only complaint.

Liked: Literally around the corner from House of Blues. Could safely walk to and from concert venue in the cold weather.
Disliked: Who are all of the guys standing around in suits? Porters? It was kind of weird. It had a mob feel in a way.
