At Claridge House, guests will find their own intimate, little sanctuary in the heart of Chicago’s Gold Coast. The hotel’s location offers a true neighborhood that feels miles away from the usual big city hotel experience.
Newly renovated guest rooms that feature trendy, residence-style décor await guests for relaxation. Standard king and queen rooms are available as well as deluxe rooms and suites. Each room is like an urban haven as it features a pillowtop bed, spa-style shower, fresh robe and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Juniper Spirits & Oysters is the on-site restaurant that’s built to focus on conversation, cocktails and socializing. Juniper has taken pride with incorporating booze with oysters for a unique way to enjoy both coasts’ fresh catch. It’s a great way to enjoy some drinks and small plate with friends in a place that is refined but not heavy.
Location is definite upside while staying at the Claridge house. Simply walk out the door in the morning to take a stroll on the lake front or a quick run through Lincoln Park before finding a place to grab a bite to each for lunch. Head back to the hotel for your appointment at the Spa the Gold Coast which offers services in skin care, manicures and pedicures, and massages with discounts for hotel guests.
A stay at the Claridge House will have guests feeling more like a stay at home rather than time away and make it easy to enjoy Chicago just like they are a local.

Pros. Location, location, location. Makes this hotel so worth it.
Cons. I certainly wouldn’t call it a 4-star hotel, ever. Things in the room are starting to look a bit run-down. But it was comfortable enough. Wouldn’t want to pay more than what we did, and we paid less than normal due to it being COVID times. Also, some fees were confusing and unexplained. We were charged more than the price we were initially told “included everything.”
Pros. The staff was friendly, the location was great, and the room was clean.
Cons. Our room was too small for two people. There was a stand pipe in the wall that obstructed one side of the bed. The bathroom was tiny, too.
Pros. Front desk was very nice! Room was clean and very comfortable.
Cons. Bar wasn’t open and that sucked.
Pros. Claridge House’s location is tough to beat! It is in the heart of the Gold Coast and nestled in a beautiful, walkable neighborhood.
Pros. Great location. Nice staff if you pick the right room plenty of space. 2 queen beds plus sitting area
Cons. The decor is tired and needs a boost. Frame in mirror was warped. Bathroom is tiny
Pros. I did not get to stay there.. because you didnt have a contract with the hotel and thus my reservation was not honored. I Had to scramble for a hotel that night. I still have not been compensated or provided a refund. I will not be using your service again.
Pros. I drove to Chicago from Louisiana with my parents (70s) ans my daughter (12). The drive was easy. The hotel was easy to find. Parking was easy. Everything about our stay at Hotel Indigo was amazing. We will definitely return as soon as possible!
Pros. Good rates, friendly staff. Just needed a place to sleep and store our luggage while we toured the city. Convenient safe in the room to lock and store personal items. Room was clean and tidy.
Cons. The room was small.
Pros. - Fantastic location: wherein most hotels are in the Loop which is dead on the weekends, this is in gorgeous Gold Coast, walking distance to the magnificent mile, Old Town/Wells St. shops & restaurants, and even Lincoln Park, and an easy cab or bus to Wicker Park. In short, you can do touristy stuff, but you don't have to live in the craziness of it and can easily access the neighborhoods more representative of Chicago (we used to live in Chicago). - Funky design and atmosphere. Not to everyone's taste, but much better than nondescript alternatives in the price range.
Cons. - Reception staff helps out, but none were the least bit friendly. - Gym had decent cardio and weight machines but could use more than exactly 3 dumbbells. - Small rooms.
Pros. The location - right around the corner from the red train line. A few blocks from magnificent mile and close proximity to other stores (cvs, wing stop, etc) and restaurants (Lou malnati, local pub/tavern, etc.). Staff was helpful and nice.
Cons. The hotel was clearly renovated, however it was done cheaply. Wall paper was peeling, rust could be seen in a few spots, some poorly covered up/hidden. Cheap laminate flooring was bowing.
