Bed & Breakfast

108 N May St, Chicago, IL

Housed in a historic 110-year-old brick building that once served as the Free Methodist Publishing House (and later a casket factory), this fiercely independent, 11-room urban loft sanctuary is a design-forward masterpiece in Chicago's West Loop. Owner-operated by a dedicated husband-and-wife team, the property ditches traditional antique lace for contemporary comforts, heated floors, and custom clawfoot tubs. Each en-suite room is uniquely styled and dedicated to a local Chicago author. The inn features an expansive, light-filled communal great room with a double-sided fireplace, an attached neighborhood wine bar, and a seriously incredible, fresh, scratch-made gourmet breakfast served daily in a stunning home-style kitchen.
