Rockefeller Memorial Chapel

Study Hotels continues its expansion into prominent university markets with the official opening of its third property, The Study at University of Chicago. This latest addition to the Study Hotels portfolio joins two traveler favorites: The Study at Yale and The Study at University City.

Just along the campus' Midway Plaisance—east of the David Rubenstein Forum, across the Rockefeller Chapel, and a short walk from the forthcoming Obama Presidential Center —The Study at University of Chicago welcomes students, their families, university faculty, life-long learners, and the local community.

The 167-room hotel, including a complement of impressive suites, is designed to stand in harmony with the university's iconic architecture and landscaping, which was established in the 1890s by Henry Ives Cobb and Frederick Law Olmstead (of Central Park fame). Transparency and light define the hotel's public spaces, creating a clear connection to the landscape of the Midway Plaisance. In the lobby, guests can get their own taste of academia by perusing the library curated by The Strand Bookstore or exploring the rotating student art gallery.

Every guestroom at The Study is abundant in natural light and features a leather reading chair and wood writing desk. In addition to high-quality furnishings, guests can look forward to Frette linens, C.O. Bigelow toiletries, spacious showers, and breathtaking views of campus or Lake Michigan. Beyond the four walls of each room, the hotel offers guests one-of-a-kind opportunities to enjoy university culture as part of their stay. Exclusive guest experiences include guided tours at The Renaissance Society, campus architecture tours, and shows at the Court Theatre.

As a complement to the world-class events that take place at the sprawling David Rubenstein Forum next door, The Study has 4,700 square feet dedicated to hosting social gatherings and business meetings. The true star of these event spaces is the Winter Garden, where awe-inspiring clerestory windows stream sunlight in from above. It is an ideal venue for summer weddings with room for up to 200 people to celebrate in an unforgettable indoor/outdoor setting.

For hotel guests, university residents, and visitors alike, there is a new campus hot spot to frequent. Truth Be Told is an English-style tavern—located just off of the hotel's lobby—which offers traditional pub fare and a curated list of beers, spirits, and wines. Guests can choose to imbibe in an intimate pint by the fireplace, relax in the lounge area, or tuck into a satisfying meal in the main dining room.

The Study at University of Chicago is so much more than a campus hotel. It is an extension of the university and an enduring epicenter for the community where guests can continually immerse themselves in the school's rich culture while enjoying exceptional accommodations and hospitality.
