The Publishing House Bed And Breakfast - A historic 110-year-old brick building with heated floors and an attached winery in West Loop

Housed in a 110-year-old brick building that formerly served as a publishing house, casket factory, and holography museum, The Publishing House Bed And Breakfast features 11 air-conditioned rooms with premium bedding and heated floors. This Chicago hotel offers a communal space with inviting couches, chairs, and barstools arranged around a fireplace and piano. The property includes an attached winery, salon, and wine bar, while guests can enjoy complimentary amenities such as freshly baked treats, sodas, sparkling water, and coffee throughout the day. A buffet breakfast with fresh fruit and juices is served daily, with hearty specials prepared by the onsite husband-and-wife team. The Publishing House accommodates events for up to 60 people for cocktail-style gatherings or 35 for seated dinners. Located steps from top restaurants in West Loop, the property provides easy access to Randolph Street and Fulton Market's dining scene.

Pros

The Print Room offers private dining for up to 16 guests at a communal table

“The Publishing House distinguishes itself with personalized service in a historic West Loop building, creating a community feel. Its unique culinary events and inviting communal areas are a draw. While some might find the breakfast challenging for picky eaters, the proximity to Randolph Street's dining and the building's secure, stylish design are significant pluses.”
