The Publishing House Bed and Breakfast

Historic Charm Meets Concert Convenience in Chicago

Modern comforts meet vintage flair at The Publishing House Bed and Breakfast, a stylish and cozy retreat set in a beautifully restored 1909 building. Located in Chicago’s vibrant West Loop, this boutique B&B combines the intimacy of a traditional inn with the upscale feel of a boutique hotel. Just blocks from Union Station and within easy reach of the United Center, it puts you right in the heart of Chicago’s buzzing music and entertainment scene.

Each room is thoughtfully designed with elegant touches, and some come with private walk-in showers and plush bathrobes for post-show relaxation. With inviting shared spaces, a welcoming vibe, and a focus on comfort, this is a great home base for your concert getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this B&B delivers. You're just a quick ride or even a walk from major venues like United Center and nearby theaters. The neighborhood is lively but not loud, offering a peaceful place to unwind after the show. With 2:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there's a bit of flexibility for late-night arrivals or slow mornings. Plus, luggage storage is available if you’re catching a late train out of Union Station.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish, social stay
• Solo travelers catching their dream concert
• Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend
• Fans needing peace and quiet after a loud night
• Budget-conscious travelers who still want boutique vibes

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up traditional fare and cocktails in a relaxed setting, perfect for a pre-show meal or post-show nightcap. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the West Loop is packed with walkable dining options that stay open late. Breakfast is available on-site, ideal for easing into the day after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no live music on-site, the in-house bar is cozy and well-stocked, with plenty of nearby lounges, breweries, and late-night bars just steps away. You're in one of Chicago’s trendiest neighborhoods, so whether you're into craft cocktails, rooftop views, or low-key wine bars, you’re covered.

What People Say

Guests rave about the building’s character, the stylish interiors, and the warm, welcoming staff. Many highlight the unbeatable location near both transit and top entertainment spots. The cleanliness, comfort, and quiet atmosphere often get high marks—especially appreciated after a loud night at a concert.

Areas for Improvement

This bed and breakfast doesn’t offer 24-hour front desk service, so late-night check-ins should be coordinated ahead of time. Also, while the atmosphere is peaceful, this isn’t the place for a big party vibe—more chill than wild.
