The Best Affordable Hotels in Chicago

"Opened in March 2019, The Hoxton, Chicago marks lucky number seven for the London-based hotel group. The building's gruff, brick warehouse–inspired exterior belies its warm and spacious living room–like lobby. Immediately upon entry, you're greeted by potted greenery, communal tables, and ample seating under a lofty, two-story ceiling. Rooms come in three sizes: Snug, Cosy, and Roomy. All feature design elements fashioned by local artists, including the whimsical bedspreads. Furnishings are minimal; a single padded chair sits beside an end table with a retro-styled iPhone speaker. Chef Stephanie Izard of local Girl & the Goat fame runs the rooftop Peruvian hotspot Cabra. Don’t miss the basement jazz den Lazy Bird."
