It’s a rarity to come across such an amazing bed and breakfast that blends modern comforts, character and convenience all in one. Unlike chain hotels, the rooms are spotlessly clean. The linens are real cotton and freshly laundered. The toiletries are top notch. Loved the pugs too. I would not hesitate to return.

It was the coolest place I’ve ever stayed at in the USA. I loved the interior design, the attention to detail and the atmosphere there. Loved the size of the room. Also, really enjoyed the breakfast! It was delicious and I especially liked that it was cooked for each person, so less wasteful than a conventional buffet. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

The Publishing House was easily one of our favorite stays in Chicago. The rooms and common areas are super comfortable, tastefully decorated and have a unique charm. We appreciate the one-of-a-kind feeling and personal touches. Breakfast was lovely, all the staff were thoughtful and kind. We look forward to returning.

This was my fourth time staying at Publishing House, and I hope to return again soon (that is, when it isn't booked solid)! I love it at Publishing House: an ideal location, quiet, comfortable, and with the best possible breakfasts in a beautiful common area. My favorite place to stay in Chicago, really. The staff is also very friendly, and rooms are so beautifully appointed. Thank you, Publishing House!

everything about this b&b was amazing! beautiful design, incredible breakfast, great vibe, great location. The bed was too soft for both my husband and I sadly, so our sleep wasn't as great as we hoped, but this is totally a personal preference, everything else was amazing and very thoughtful!

Cozy stay in West Loop. Like an Airbnb but better because you get a freshly made breakfast every morning. They weren’t that accommodating with holding our luggage for the day but other than that great stay!

This BnB was a rare find for us on our recent trip to Chicago. The location is perfect, on a quiet street, and within walking distance of great restaurants. We liked the music while we ate our tasty breakfast in the common area. Our room was very spacious and modern. A bonus was the Press Room wine bar downstairs! Would highly recommend.
