The Neighborhood Hotel is all about supporting all things local! Small, independent businesses make our neighborhoods special and we’re grateful for the hard work that goes into keeping things fresh and interesting around here.
Lincoln Park is one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. Its close proximity to Lake Michigan’s walking/running path, beaches and countless green spaces brings the beauty while the shops, restaurants and cultural institutions give it soul. Some of the city’s most celebrated, long established restaurants are situated right next door! Grab one of the best Chicago style hot dogs at The Wiener’s Circle (right next door to the hotel), try a legendary pizza pot pie at Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder followed by a stroll through the amazing – and free – Lincoln Park Zoo. Lincoln Park makes travel north and south easy as many buses line Lake Shore Drive while the ‘L’ train stops are plentiful. Staying in Lincoln Park is the perfect way to hang with locals while being able to easily explore the entire city. Need more of the local scoop? Check out our field guide! The Hotel even has a partnership with Baby’s Away – a local baby gear delivery service to outfit suites that require necessities/furniture for little ones – no need to overpack!

About The Neighborhood Hotel
The Neighborhood Hotel was founded in 2020 by Jonathan Gordon — a travel enthusiast who enjoys spaces that inspire, comfort and fuel. Each suite is well equipped for short and longterm stays (i.e. kitchens, laundry, etc.). The Neighborhood Hotel transforms old buildings with compelling history into well outfitted apartment style hotels that honor the old while representing the now. The vibe is fresh and fun with rooms that are stocked to support everyone from the homebody to the adventurer. The hotels provide a basecamp for the explorer and a sanctuary for the traveler who needs to recharge, reset or just chill. The suites are simple and clean, punctuated with accents that bring the right amount of pop. The Neighborhood Hotel has locations in Chicago: Lincoln Park, Little Italy, West Loop (2026 opening) and Southwest Michigan: New Buffalo and Grand Beach.
