The Best Place to Stay in Chicago

We are Your Gateway to Chicago

Where to Stay in Chicago

Setting up base in the Near North area—encompassing vibrant spots like Old Town, Lincoln Park, or the northern edge of River North—gives you an incredible tactical advantage. You are close enough to walk or take a quick rideshare down to iconic downtown sites like Millennium Park and the Art Institute, but you’re also perfectly positioned to branch out. From here, you can easily head straight up the Red Line to Wrigleyville or the Lincoln Park Zoo, or hop across town to the food havens of Fulton Market and the West Loop, and the trendy streets of Wicker Park. It truly gives you the best of both worlds by bridging the gap between tourist landmarks and local neighborhood culture.

Where are we located?
Situated on Chicago’s near north side, our Magic Factory Lofts are nestled at the crossroads of Lincoln Park, Old Town, and River North, offering you the perfect blend of urban charm and convenience.

Centrally Located

Updated from second stay: Great location with nicely appointed spaces. Our group of 13 all had beds and plenty of room to socialize in the large loft. Large dining table where we would gather. Elevator and only one floor for a big space was an added plus. Train station is a 10-minute walk, a bus that connects to the Blue line stops out front. Target, Whole Foods, and a grocery are in walking distance as well as a coffee shop. Hosts are genuinely concerned that you enjoy your stay. Terrific experience.

We stayed at Magic Factory Lofts for a fun bachelorette weekend and had a great stay! The condo was beautiful and spacious - perfect for our group to gather and enjoy the Chicago area. Carole and Basil were very responsive anytime we needed anything. Would highly recommend staying here the next time you visit Chicago!

Tbh, this place was taken out of my wildest dreams for a brief Chicago stay. Besides it being beautiful, spacious, equipped with everything you need, killer views, 10/10 location… the real cherry on top was the vibe created by the owners (who are on the top floor, out of sight, out of mind.) The owners seemed really chill and fostered a beautiful getaway. This little oasis had a currency of trust, chaining everything together. When we got there, there were seltzers and coffee left behind by the previous tenant. When we left, we left behind coffee and beers for the next group of travelers. For being modern and spacious, it had the right touch of casual ‘Hostel’ vibes. Just a really nice … ‘positive assumptions’ getaway. They even let us leave our bags after checkout so we could explore Chicago one last time. 10 stars out of 5.
