Experience a refined hotel stay in Chicago that feels more like a peaceful residential retreat than a typical urban visit at Claridge House, tucked into the desirable Gold Coast neighborhood. The hotel’s elegant décor and tranquil atmosphere create an oasis amid the city’s energy.
In 2018, Claridge House completed a thoughtful $9 million renovation that redesigned all 165 guestrooms, the lobby, meeting spaces and fitness center. The update introduced contemporary comforts while preserving the building’s classic architectural details and historic character.
Originally designed in 1923 by a local Chicago architect, the property has deep roots in the Gold Coast and began life as a residential hotel. Today the hotel showcases artwork, sculptures and historical pieces that reflect its long heritage.
Although set in a quiet, residential pocket of the Gold Coast, Claridge House is close to many of Chicago’s top attractions, including Navy Pier, the theater district and Magnificent Mile shopping. Its location provides easy access to the city’s highlights while offering a calmer place to return to at day’s end.

The hotel offers a variety of guestrooms equipped with fast WiFi, a refrigerator, spa-inspired showers and plush bedding with pillowtop mattresses. Room types include queen, standard king, king deluxe, two double queen, deluxe king with fireplace and deluxe king suite, accommodating solo travelers, couples and small groups.
Wellness amenities include a modern fitness center with cardio machines and free weights, and a second-floor spa offering manicures, pedicures and facials. On the lobby level, Juniper, the hotel’s signature restaurant, serves a range of options from fresh juices to small plates in a relaxed yet refined setting with both indoor and outdoor seating. Guests can enjoy live music on select evenings.

The hotel provides on-site event planning and business services, full catering, A/V equipment and technical support, and preferred room rates for event attendees.
