HEY, NEIGHBOR: RUSH HOSPITAL!

We’re all about THE location. 

The Neighborhood Hotel Little Italy is situated within a half mile from UI Health and Rush Hospital, therefore filling a hole in the world of accommodations near the hospitals. 

“Doctors, nurses/travel nurses, medical professionals, patients and their families need a place to stay that’s super close to the hospital(s) but also a space that feels good. We knew that this building [the former National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame] was ideal for our fourth location because it’s an interesting, historic space in a prime location. Little Italy is home to everything that gives the city soul— incredible people, restaurants and culture — all in close proximity to the Illinois Medical District,” says Jonathan Gordon, Founder and CEO of The Neighborhood Hotel. “Our hotel is clean and comforting, filled with thoughtful details.”

Some of those touches include: full kitchens in every suite, local coffee grounds and Moccamaster brewers, a partnership with Baby’s Away to deliver and assemble any baby gear that’s needed and cozy throw blankets made by The Weaving Mill [a local company that also supports Envision Unlimited — a nonprofit that helps adults with developmental disabilities]. Unique details are also reflected in the Gibsons seasoning salt in every pantry, a guide to the neighborhood with tips from long time locals on each coffee table, even bocce balls to use on the courts next door.

Back to the ideal location: guests feel the spirit and warmth of a dynamic neighborhood that’s very close to public transportation and within short walking distance to several hospital buildings.

“We realize that many of our guests are staying purely for fun but some are here for work or medical travel. We want to support everyone which is why we double down on the things that might seem small,” Gordon says. 

“Quite simply: details matter.”

Our buildings have stories ingrained in the walls (in a non-creepy way) - stories that are meant to be told and shared. The Neighborhood Little Italy was formerly the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame which honored the greatest Italian-American athletes, broadcasters, and sports workers to benefit athletics in the United States.
