Hotel Chicago presents the West Loop/Illinois Medical District with a new lodging option destined to shake up
Chicagos boutique hotel market. Now open, the 117-room independent marks the entry into the hotel business by
financier Joe Perillo, owner of Perillo Auto Group a name synonymous with quality in Chicago for four decades.
Joining Mr. Perillo to manage and operate the property is Helm ut Horn, President of Portfolio Hotels & Resorts and
a pioneer in the boutique hotel industry. Located at 1622 W. Jackson, the renovated historic building is conveniently
situated in between the Illinois Medical District and red hot Randolph Street dining corridor. Void of heavy
competition in the vicinity, Hotel Chicago provides a needed overnight option for hospital visitors, students, or savvy
travelers looking for a launch pad to enjoy a night on the town. When we began this project over three years ago,
our intention was to create a cross-generational home away from home for families with loved ones nearby at the
hospital, said Mr. Perillo, whos luxury dealerships include lines like Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Rolls Royce,
Maserati and BMW. Since then, the growth of the West Loop has caused us to slightly adjust our strategy. We ended
up fashioning a European boutique hotel, with all the amenities of an extended stay mini apartment, in order to
appeal to savvy travelers. Hotel Chicago brings the West Loop/Illinois Medical District a comfortable, wallet-friendly
yet stylish experience designed for todays discerning guest, added Mr. Horn, whos company manages franchised and
independent hotels around the country. Whether youre going to a concert at the United Center or dinner on West
Randolph, we give you a central location to begin or end your evening. And the best part is, less money to stay
means more money to play!Hotel Chicago aims to be a big contributor in reviving a sense of community in the
area, which used to be considered a sleepy part of town. As opposed to other choices downtown, guests receive
genuine hospitality while being able to venture into a neighborhood rather than a business district. In addition to
being walking distance from Restaurant Row on Randolph or the Illinois Medical District, Hotel Chicago is also a
mere ~$4 Uber ride to Greek Town, Little Italy on Taylor, or Union Park, home of the world-renowned annual
Pitchfork Music Festival in July. To top it off, the Blue Line stop is within a block, offering convenient CTA rides to
either OHare or Midway airports, and throughout the City. A unique and simplistic design mixed with comfort,
convenience and value are the pillars in which Hotel Chicago stands upon. The property features a multitude of
rooms to fit every guest, whether theyre here for a week in the doctors office or some fun in the city. Room types
include a single full, a bunk double twin, and a king deluxe, with amenities like: luxurious pillow top memory foam
mattress, personal Keurig, refrigerator, microwave, LCD TV with cable, ample closet space and cabinetry, sizable
work area, complimentary Wi-Fi, 24-hour fitness center, complimentary coffee, in-room safe, on-site washing
machines, and a private parking lot with a local garage.Led by General Manager Imran Jivani, a warm and
knowledgeable support staff has been hand-selected to personally accommodate every request. Upon entering the
restored, original front entrance, guests are greeted by an inviting, modern lobby adorned with a glass chandelier
and white walls tied to a glass backdrop. Masterfully curated with original art by Mr. Horn (who is also an
accomplished, internationally-known photographer), the result is a more contemporary look than its traditional
economy or midscale competitors. High resolution photos are available upon request by
