- 5/5
It was the coolest place I’ve ever stayed at in the USA. I loved the interior design, the attention to detail and the atmosphere there. Loved the size of the room. Also, really enjoyed the breakfast! It was delicious and I especially liked that it was cooked for each person, so less wasteful than a conventional buffet. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

On top of the beautiful decor, live plants, and unique rooms, the butler's pantry as perfect for grabbing and evening pot of tea to enjoy in the great room. Everything struck a great balance between high-end hotel and cozy B&B.

This was my fourth time staying at Publishing House, and I hope to return again soon (that is, when it isn't booked solid)! I love it at Publishing House: an ideal location, quiet, comfortable, and with the best possible breakfasts in a beautiful common area. My favorite place to stay in Chicago, really. The staff is also very friendly, and rooms are so beautifully appointed. Thank you, Publishing House!

Unfortunately, the main reason for my booking a stay there was the description of soundproofed rooms which couldn't be further from the truth. There was noise coming from all angles; banging from upstairs and next door, doors slamming from adjacent rooms, conversations heard through the walls, gurgling water from the over the bed heating unit and constant beeping and delivery drivers outside the window. Due to this, we never got a decent nights sleep during our stay. Now this description was from Hotels.com, but if it is not accurate, then the establishment should review and correct it. In addition, all communication with the staff can only be done via call or text. Neither of these methods ever produced a response. After an unanswered email, voice message and face to face request with one of the staff, requesting a late checkout to support a late train home, I was still left with no response. When I finally was able to speak with the owner, she reluctantly only let us stay an extra 30 minutes, claiming that they were quite busy. While we were allowed to leave our luggage and wait in the common area, I realized that "quite busy" meant taking down Christmas decorations in an unoccupied bed & breakfast. Pretty lame.

The Publishing House was easily one of our favorite stays in Chicago. The rooms and common areas are super comfortable, tastefully decorated and have a unique charm. We appreciate the one-of-a-kind feeling and personal touches. Breakfast was lovely, all the staff were thoughtful and kind. We look forward to returning.

The bed was too soft for both my husband and I sadly, so our sleep wasn't as great as we hoped, but this is totally a personal preference, everything else was amazing and very thoughtful!
- 5/5
This BnB was a rare find for us on our recent trip to Chicago. The location is perfect, on a quiet street, and within walking distance of great restaurants. We liked the music while we ate our tasty breakfast in the common area. Our room was very spacious and modern. A bonus was the Press Room wine bar downstairs! Would highly recommend.
- 5/5
Incredible service, amazing breakfast and gorgeous rooms.
- 5/5
Cozy stay in West Loop. Like an Airbnb but better because you get a freshly made breakfast every morning. They weren’t that accommodating with holding our luggage for the day but other than that great stay!
- 5/5
Amazing place with so many little touches! Lovely people working there and quirky decor. The breakfast is wonderful with homemade pastries and a specials menu that changes every day. Would highly recommend.
- 4/5
The common areas and rooms were beautiful and very clean. Staff was friendly and attentive when there. Food was tasty but could be difficult for picky eaters. We were bummed we didn't get to meet the pugs :( Great location to a lot of places and very secure/safe. The only downside was that on our 2nd day, all the parking spots were taken when we came back and we paid for a spot for the entirety of our stay. Luckily someone came and left after we waited for about 20 minutes but that would have been a big issue if it happened more than once. I think their needs to be a better set up for that for future guests.

A beautiful B&B in a stunning part of Chicago. So many great restaurants close by and an easy walk to the train. Very accessible to the city. Worth a stay.
- 5/5
I cannot say enough great things about this Airbnb! They made me feel right at home from the moment I checked in (very easy btw!) and gave me a lovely tour bf getting to my lovely room, The Audrey. The fresh backed pastries in the morning and breakfast was out of this world and my heart was so full playing the IN TUNE grand piano upstairs. Truly my favorite part. The Malin + Goetz products were a nice touch for someone like me who prioritizes clean products, so this really made me feel at home too. The self serve coffee, tea bar was welcoming and the co working area was very cozy for my calls. My favorite was the window nook on the second floor. This is the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. Thank you so much for creating such a memorable experience and having the kindest staff in the world! I can’t wait to come back ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely beautiful hotel

The room was beautiful and clean. The common areas in the corridor and the entire top floor were beautiful and made it so easy to meet other guests, chat and have breakfast together. The extra touches like coffee supplies and fresh cookies were so thoughtful. I look forward to returning.

Very hospitable staff. The room and B&B were very clean, and the breakfast was delicious! We arrived after reception closing and had a very easy self check-in experience! We will be back!
- 5/5
The only reason I didn’t give condition a 5 is that the toilet seat in Bellow doesn’t fit the toilet and every time you sit it slides to the right and you think either it is going to break or you are sliding to the floor. While nothing happened, this seat is the wrong size for the toilet and it is going to break especially if a large person uses this toilet!
- 5/5
Enjoyed the coziness of the property and the rooms. Breakfast was very good.

Very nice place to stay. I will come back.

As with any downtown Chicago hotel, there is some city noise, so the hosts provide earplugs.

This is the most amazing hidden gem in the West Loop!! Extremely charming, the breakfast was great & very comfortable. I will make this my “place to stay” whenever I visit Chicago!
- 5/5
Loved the decor and attention to detail. I felt like an honored guest.
- 5/5
This was the most cutest B&B we have stayed at. We loved the morning pressed coffee (which we have never done before), the soft comfy beds and all the amenities this place has to offer. We rented a car to get around easier, parking in the evening by the B&B was a breeze, always found one right on the street, safely. They have a living room lounge, where you can just sit and read a book or enjoy complimentary coffee, tea and sparkling water, surrounded by a variety of beautiful greenery. While most big hotels have removed daily cleaning, the girls here cleaned our room every day and replenished us with fresh towels and fluffed pillows. We had a wonderful experience and will be back. We will be buying a french press for our house now!

This is my favorite place to stay in Chicago. It feels like you are staying at a friend's house and the breakfast is always delish. Can't recommend this place enough!
- 3/5
The place was beautiful with well appointed facilities and self service drinks. Breakfast was also delicious. My only feeling was that there wasn’t a lot of warmth or communication with the staff. Often there’s front desk was empty and the primary way to communicate is text with isn’t always responded to. A few times when walking in, the staff didn’t even say hello. It’s a great building but could do with a bit more warmth from the staff

- 4/5
A beautiful place and very cosy. Wonderful staff very helpful. Thw only problem was with the noise. The dining area on the 3rd floor is next to the room and i could hear a lot of noise disturbing the sleep. There are ways to reduce the noise to these rooms. Second, the price for thia room could have water bottles in each room, nowadays a must at all stays.

We had such a great time. The rooms were amazing, the service was amazing, and the food was amazing. We found a parking spot out front so everything worked out great. It may be good to update in the listing free on street parking optional.

What a great place! Beautiful, updated and clean accommodations. Excellent menu combined with a 5 star staff. There's free parking around the hotel, but it's a crap shoot. Download a parking app. just case.

Wonderful bnb! Will try to stay here from now on when I come to town. Clean, great communication, staff is so nice. Can’t beat the location. Thanks!
- 5/5
The decor in this B&B is fantastic! Definitely a special place & if you get the opportunity to stay here you should. The west loop area where the hotel is located is perfect for shopping, eating & general adventuring. About a 15-20 min walk to downtown.

Amazing stay! Great staff! Definitely plan on staying here next time I’m in Chicago
- 5/5
A rare gem. Beautiful, unique, and well-maintained rooms and inviting common spaces. And an absolutely delicious breakfast included: fresh juice, french press, yogurt, fruit, and your choice of two entrees. We had a burrata scramble served with perfect tomatoes on thick toast. The breakfast alone makes this a must-visit.
- 5/5
Such a gem right in the city!! From the morning breakfast to the heated floor in the bathroom, the Publishing House understands details. Offering tranquility, the Publishing House is just what it should be — vintage chic meets modern hospitality. Definitely adding to the list to revisit again and again.

It was beautiful, extremely comfortable and cozy. I can’t wait to go back!

The business needs more extroverts and people persons to be "the face". The food, staff and furnishings were great. The owner was not as "welcoming" as we would have liked.
- 5/5
This is my fourth time staying at the Publishing House, and I already can't wait to go back. Every decorative detail of this place is gorgeous, the breakfast is filling and delicious, the bedding/pillows are super soft, and the location is ideal (close to so many top notch restaurants, plus free parking?! in Chicago?!). Truly perfect.

Such a unique, cozy, homey place. Beautiful setting, incredible food, and AMAZING staff. Will not stay anywhere else in Chicago again. Highly, highly recommend.

My wife and I enjoyed staying in this unique B&B. Its commons areas are comfortably furnished, spacious, and peppered with interesting pieces that create a pleasing potluck decor of old and new. Our room too was a charming blend of old and new. The heated bathroom floor is a treat and the oveand pandemic safe practices potluck decor It's easy to overlook the beauty of the building's exterior upon arrival

This B&B lives up to the hype!! Hip, clean, fresh, unique… my wife and I were thoroughly impressed! Also, the breakfast… wow! Honestly, both days didn’t have options I would have been drawn to normally at a full menu restaurant, but I was incredibly pleased with both! Glad they forced me out of my comfort zone! I hope this place is around for a long time. We’ll be back!
- 5/5
We loved it! Adorable place, great decor, lovely room, great vibe overall, super friendly and helpful staff, and Kimberly in particular was very attentive and welcoming and made us feel like she was just a text away. And she was! Glad we stayed during a time that free street parking is available, as we’re sure it won’t last much longer since the area is taking off in popularity. And on that note, the bnb is also in a very walkable area - food, metro, etc., is within a few blocks. Definitely recommend this place! Thanks, Kimberly!

What an unique, fun place to stay in the neighborhood. It’s in the middle of so many amazing places to see and walking for sightseeing. The arrival and walkthrough helps and then it’s your call to poke around and check things out, inside and out. Thanks so much.
