Within the mansion
The afternoon light through the stained glass on the parlour floor (best around 16:00 in summer). The library at midnight. The wine cellar by appointment.
Our Hotel — What Not To Miss
Considered things to do.
Inside the house and within walking distance, a short list curated by our front desk.
Updated quarterly. None of these are sponsored. Most are within a fifteen-minute walk; the rest are worth a short taxi.
Within a walk
The Glessner House Museum across the street; the lakefront at sunrise; Gioia Coffee for a flat white if you are up before us.
Worth a short taxi
The Art Institute (always); the Chicago Architecture Center boat tour (April through November); the Garfield Park Conservatory on a cold day.
