Visitors come to
Chicago for many reasons, but chief among them is the Magnificent Mile, a modern and impressive stretch of shopping, dining and accommodations on North Michigan Avenue. Resting on the edge of Lake Michigan, with expansive views and bustling streets, Chicago is a city on the move and offers accommodation for every traveler.
Bed and Breakfast
With only four individually decorated guest rooms, the Gold Coast Guest House offers an intimate guest experience in the heart of Chicago. Just 10 minutes from the Magnificent Mile by foot, the Gold Coast Guest House is a brick Victorian home dating from 1873, with a 20-foot window opening onto a private garden. This guest house provides travelers with modern amenities, including free wifi, with the personal touches afforded by a small bed and breakfast.
