Arriving at this home in downtown Chicago, you’re sure to be charmed by the typically Chicagoan high rise. Gaze down on the city above, and delight in the central location in the North River district – it's famous for its abundance of galleries and arty culture. You’ll be within walking distance of the luxurious Gold Coast neighbourhood too, where you’ll find tree-lined roads filled with upmarket boutiques. Luckily, you won’t have to go far to bring back your shopping, and you’ll be pleased to return to the comfortable sofa to rest your legs after a day out exploring. After preparing a home-cooked meal in the shiny kitchen, sit out on the balcony with a glass of something cold and watch the sunset over the city skyline.

Skyscraper

Snug yet stylish, this studio apartment is perfect for a lone traveller or couple wanting a cosy stay in Chicago. We love the sleek design and jewel tones – fitting, seeing as this flat is situated along the famous Jewelers Row. Whether you're snuggling up in the sumptuous bed, watching your favourite show on the Chromecast TV or rustling up a light bite in the kitchen, this pocket-sized pad is sure to have you feeling at home as soon as you step through the door. Even better, the central location is excellent for exploring. Designed by famous architects Adler & Sullivan, this building is mere moments from Millennium Park and its iconic Cloud Gate sculpture, also known as The Bean. There are endless places to eat, drink and shop within walking distance. Spend your afternoons nibbling on a slice of Chicago's deep dish pizza whilst window shopping at the jewellery stores dating back to 1872, followed by a waterside stroll and evening drinks along The Riverwalk, fifteen minutes away on foot.

The Jeweler's Gem

The living is easy at this smart apartment complex located right in the heart of buzzy South Loop, a popular residential area just south of downtown. Jam-packed with expansive green parks, prestigious museums, and legendary jazz clubs, it's easy to see why Chicagoans choose to lay down roots here. You're also just a twenty-five-minute walk from downtown Chicago over the river or hop on the 'L' (Chicago's metro), and you'll be there in seventeen minutes flat.  Inside, we love how light and spacious the property feels and the cool industrial aesthetic with exposed concrete and warm wooden flooring. But it's those jaw-dropping views across the city, seen from both the stylish bedroom and living space, taking centre stage here. Fire up the coffee machine in the sleek kitchen and take a pew at the breakfast table as you hatch plans for the day ahead – it's quite a view. Then head next door for a workout in the impressive, shared gym available for guest use. Or do like the locals and take things outside for a jog around the trails at Grant Park, which lead down to the waterfront, just six minutes down the street – it's the perfect place to take a breather from the big city, if just for a while.

Southern Loop

It's estimated that Chicago has the third-largest number of people with Greek ancestry out of any US city and nowhere is that seen more than in Greektown. In among the restaurants and museums dedicated to Hellenic culture, you'll find this great apartment. Given ample amounts of natural light from the three tall windows, the interior is simple, but there are lots of little design touches that lift it above bland anonymity — we have the industrial-chic lights on the wall, sleek glass coffee table and flourishing house plant in mind when we say this. An added perk is that guests get access to the building's communal roof terrace, which gives views over the city's skyline. All 1,450 feet of The Willis Tower is pretty hard to miss and it's only fourteen minutes' walk away if you want to see it up close. Carry on for another a quarter of an hour and you'll reach the Art Institute of Chicago.

Flaming Saganaki

Located in Chicago’s vibrant South Loop neighbourhood, this bright and welcoming apartment puts you in an ideal position to explore some of the city’ most notable sights. Inside, warm wood floors and a cool industrial aesthetic make a stylish first impression in the main room with huge windows on two sides that allow plenty of natural light to flood in. We love the dining nook with its characterful art prints, as well as the plump turquoise sofa that invites you to kick back with a glass of wine after a day of exploring. Our favourite spot, however, is the private balcony. Sit here with your morning coffee while catching some rays, or head out here as the sun sets for a memorable end to any day. Fitness fans will appreciate the communal gym in the building, but with so many sights within easy walking distance, you’ll have no trouble getting in your exercise on foot. Make a beeline for Grant Park (a ten-minute walk away), where the Field Museum waits to be explored (a twenty-minute walk), or catch a Bears game at Soldier Field Stadium (a twenty-four-minute stroll from your door). With countless restaurants, shops and bars on your doorstep too, there’s no end to the fun and entertainment in store.


Bears In The Park

The nineteenth-century architectural firm Adler & Sullivan was responsible for some of Chicago's most celebrated icons, including the city's Stock Exchange Building, the Auditorium Building and the Carrie Eliza Getty Tomb in Graceland Cemetery. They also designed the building in which this apartment sits in the area known locally as Jewelers Row. You can see a few leftovers from the original design, such as the tall ceilings and large windows, but apart from that, the interior has been thoroughly modernised. The furniture is mid-century in style and character is added from the pieces of artwork and geometric rugs dotted about. One thing that's definitely just as good as it was a century ago is the prime location. As well as plenty of jewellery shops on the street outside, Millenium Park and its collection of eye-catching sculptures can be reached in five minutes on foot — as can the Art Insitute of Chicago.

New Millennium

A hidden gem among the towering skyscrapers and bustling streets, the building was designed by Adler & Sullivan and is surrounded by jewellers, some dating as far back as 1872. It's fair to say you've unearthed a diamond. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows ensure there's always plenty of light to fall on the wall-mounted artwork and gold accents, lifting the otherwise restrained decor to the height of sophistication. Just moments from Millenium Park and the emblematic Cloud Gate sculpture, a.k.a. 'The Bean', you're right in the heart of the action. Chicago Loop is well known for its rich architecture, and a quick walk will unveil countless Beaux-Arts buildings sitting alongside modern high-rises. Lose yourself in an exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the country's finest art museums, or catch a performance at the impressive Chicago Theatre. For the daring among you, step into the void at the Skydeck atop Willis Tower for quite literal 360-degree Windy City views from the clear observation boxes. Alternatively, enjoy an evening stroll by the lake, followed by a scenic dinner and drinks. Just around the corner, State Street is where to go for a typical Chicago shopping experience. Afterwards, continue north for ten minutes to refuel at Lou Malnati's – home of the best deep dish pizza in the city.

Indigo Wabash

This home is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your stay in Chicago. The home is located in the Gold Coast neighborhood, which is known for its luxury shops, fine dining, and lake Michigan charm. The home is also close to the ice skating rink at Millennium Park, so you can enjoy some winter fun.

The Lion

Just a block away from Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago, this neat little apartment puts you in the centre of the Windy City. It’s a three-minute walk to Millennium Park where you’ll find fountains, playparks and sculptures, including the iconic Bean. The building itself is classic Chicago-style, designed by Adler & Sullivan and surrounded by jewellery shops dating back to 1872. A stylish space in pine-forest green awaits. Funky modern artworks liven up the walls and there’s a record player to set the tone. A half-wall separated the kitchen from the living area and there’s everything you need here to whip up breakfast or a quick snack, that’s if you’re not too busy exploring the rooftop bars and award-winning restaurants on your doorstep. 

The Jeweller

Whether you are staying for work or vacation, this high-rise apartment in trendy South Loop is perfectly located for all there is to eat, drink and do. Stepping in to look around at the chic decor, you'll notice how the cool industrial vibe is softened by the warm furniture, olive-green tones and wooden flooring. Natural light pours in through the floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the urban vistas into the bright and modern living room. Cosy up for a movie night in, tap away on your laptop at the dining table, or cook a meal in the sleek kitchen – this home offers all the usual mod-cons needed for a comfortable stay. Get a restful night's sleep in the light-filled bedroom with comfy bedding and tasteful prints that keep things extra cosy. When you're ready to heat out and about, the Field Museum is less than twenty-five minutes from home on foot and makes for a great cultural day trip. Take in a game at Soldier Field (under 2-kilometres away), stroll down the street to Coliseum Park for a leafy break or go on the hunt for the city's best hotdog. Speaking of food, there's plenty of local spots serving up delicious cuisine nearby – from M Lounge to Little Branch Cafe – both are less than a ten-minute wander from your stylish pad in one of Chi-town's premier neighbourhoods. 

Drive Me Loopy

Looking for a stylish bolthole in a buzzy pocket of Chicago? Then this smart studio apartment, located in the residential district of South Loop, might tick your boxes.  With excellent transport links to downtown, you can see why South Loop is a popular place to live. You can hop on the 'L' (Chicago's metro) and be in the thick of things in seventeen minutes flat. Or, hit the streets for a walk over the bridge, and you'll be there in twenty-five minutes. Nearby, you'll find plenty of green spaces, with joggers and picnickers heading to the waterfront trails of the iconic Grant Park (nine minutes on foot). By day, soak up the culture of Museum Campus (twenty minutes on foot), then keep the night flowing in the district's vibrant soul clubs and diverse restaurants. Back at the apartment, the designers have maximised every inch of space to create a sleek and practical home. Interiors are muted and contemporary, with a modern kitchen for rustling up a light meal. The fitness-minded will love the shared gym next door for keeping on top of their game. So, whether you're heading to the Windy City for work or pleasure, you can't go wrong with a stay at this sophisticated base.

South Soul

Famed for its skyline punctuated by high-rises, indulgent deep dish pizza, pioneering house music scene and loyal sports fans, Chicago is one heck of a city. There’s no better place to sample Chicago’s best bits than from the South Loop neighbourhood – and this sleek apartment is smack bang in the centre of it. The interiors expertly blend comfort and style, creating a space that’s a dream to return to. Natural light drenches the neat living space through those enormous wraparound windows – soak up the sunshine from the jade green sofa or step out onto the balcony to feel the warmth on your skin. After a bite to eat at the kitchen island or at the dinky dining table, explore your surroundings. Start with a football game at Soldier Field, a twenty-minute walk away, or check out the exhibits at the Field Museum. Enjoy a leisurely stroll around Grant Park before watching a pulsating live performance in the renowned Jazz Showcase club, less than a twenty-minute walk from your home.
