The Spotlight on The Sono Chicago

Stylish Comfort in the Heart of Old Town

The Sono Chicago is a modern, boutique-style hotel nestled in Chicago’s charming Old Town neighborhood. With a clean, minimalist design and welcoming vibe, it's a peaceful retreat just minutes from the city's iconic attractions and music venues. Located only 0.7 miles from Lincoln Park Zoo and 1.2 miles from the Magnificent Mile, you're close to everything—yet far enough to unwind.

Guests enjoy free parking with a permit, and every room comes with a flat-screen TV with premium cable and a private bathroom featuring a spacious shower. A complimentary continental breakfast makes mornings easy, especially after a late night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you're heading to a show, The Sono Chicago puts you in a prime location. You're a quick rideshare or transit hop from major concert venues while staying in a quiet, residential area—perfect for post-show relaxation. The flexible check-in at 15:00 and check-out at 11:00 also gives you time to rest and recharge. Free parking is a huge perk if you're driving in for a gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for easy access to nightlife and events
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
  • Couples making a weekend of it with nearby attractions
  • Fans who want a quieter, laid-back place to recover post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who value free perks like breakfast and parking

Food and Drink Options

While The Sono Chicago doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, the free daily continental breakfast is a nice touch before heading out. Old Town’s vibrant dining scene is just blocks away, offering everything from late-night bites to upscale eats. Whether you’re craving deep-dish pizza or craft cocktails, you’ll find it within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

Old Town is known for its lively yet relaxed nightlife. You’re near legendary comedy clubs, cozy wine bars, and local taverns with great beer selections. While there’s no on-site bar, the area offers plenty of post-show spots to keep the night going—or wind it down.

What People Say

Reviews frequently praise the hotel’s cleanliness, quiet atmosphere, and friendly staff. Guests love the neighborhood feel and how close it is to everything without being in the thick of noisy downtown. The free parking and comfortable beds also get consistent shout-outs.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention the hotel is more of a bed-and-breakfast vibe than a full-service hotel—so if you're expecting a concierge or bar, plan accordingly. Also, there’s no elevator, so those with mobility issues should request a lower floor.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a stylish, peaceful place to crash after a show—without straying too far from the action—The Sono Chicago hits the right note.

Such a lovely home-like stay...

Liked: The location in Old Town was absolutely beautiful and convenient to great restaurants. We Ubered downtown to avoid high parking rates. The host, Peter, was so polite and even helped us to our room with our luggage. Such a polite young man. We will be back! Give it a try and you, too, will see it’s the best place to stay when in Chicago,
Disliked: Not one complaint

Wonderful

Liked: We loved our stay at Sono. It’s such a charming place, we felt like home. The hotel is located on a very quiet street, but at the same time it is very close to the local amenities and to the city. We will definitely stay here again next time we are in Chicago.
