Great place for a business retreat

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jan 7, 2025
My company, StoryStudio Chicago, booked a writers retreat with the hotel in November, and it was a fantastic time! The staff were very communicative, and the accommodations for our group were lovely. We were able to sell rooms/beds ourselves and assign spaces to each attendee and then coordinate with the hotel down the line. We had use of the library for rent, which was perfect for our groups of writing time, and we're hoping to go back when the roof is seasonly open as well. We were so pleased with our business retreat that we're already looking for a time to book another one in 2025. Thanks so much, Guesthouse Hotel!

This hotel is amazing !! I am local to Chicago but needed a place for family to stay over the holidays . We’ve tried hotels all over the city but this is the best one by far ! It has a beautiful lobby with local products and spacious rooms that feel more like small apartments . We needed handicap parking and it couldn’t be any easier . Staff is lovely, rooms are very clean and well stocked . I love the location because it can let you explore the north side neighborhoods . It is safe and easy to get around . Amazing find 10/10!!

What a delightful place to stay! We had multiple families staying here for my daughter’s wedding. Our “apartment” was large, airy and perfect for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready. Having a kitchen meant I could cook a proper breakfast to get the day started, and the balcony overlooking the graveyard and cityscape was perfect for some fresh air.

From the beginning our experience with all the staff in the planning stages, answering all our questions, and logistics was friendly and extremely helpful in every way.

We had a small bridal high tea the month before in the library and it could not have been more lovely, again with wonderful friendly service from the staff. Our new favorite place to stay in Chicago.

10/10 would recommend a stay at the Guesthouse Hotel, especially if you're looking for something a little more spacious or special than your average 2 queen bed hotel room. We booked a single bedroom suite for our wedding weekend, and were upgraded to a larger room free of charge. We loved having so much room to relax and prepare for our big day and the staff at the Guesthouse made us feel so welcome and special. Booking was a breeze, and all of our email correspondence before our visit was quick, easy, and accommodating. Their space is beautiful - not only the rooms, but the shared space in the lobby and the gorgeous rooftop were an added treat! We rented a parking space, which was easy and convenient considering we didn't want to worry about street-parking in the city. We would definitely stay here again.

Where do I begin? My family and I (including two elderly parents) were in town for our son's wedding and we were lucky enough to stay at The Guest House for an entire week. The (2B) unit was immaculate, spacious, well appointed and beautifully designed/decorated. The hotel is impeccably maintained including and especially the units, Lobby, Library and Roof Top Deck...all of which are great places to relax and unwind. Although TGH offers parking, street parking was never an issue and a good option for us. The location was perfect for all of our functions including easy access downtown if/when needed; but being on Clark Street in a great neighborhood (Andersonville) with incredible dinning and shopping options (a short walk away) was just another added bonus.

Above all though, it was the incredible Guest House Staff...Rick, Dee and the entire team that made us feel right at home from the minute we checked in. They were responsive, polite, professional and super customer service oriented in every way.

Thank you "Guest House" for being a part of our wonderful weekend and for helping make our special day(s) even more memorable. I'm looking forward to getting back to TGH as soon as possible and will absolutely recommend The Guest House to anyone and all visiting Chicago.
