Below is a side-by-side comparison of the 8 hotels currently open in the neighborhood, including what each one publishes about pets, pools, parking, breakfast, and gyms.
Distances are computed from each hotel’s address to the United Center, Union Station, Ogilvie Transportation Center, and the nearest CTA L station. Brand parents and sub-areas are editorial labels; click through to any hotel for full address, phone, and license details.

Amenities at a glance
Everything below comes from each hotel's own website, checked 2026-08-09 — pet fees, parking prices, and pool details are exactly what the hotel publishes. Where a hotel doesn't publish a fact, the cell says "Not published" rather than guessing; call the hotel to confirm before booking around it. One honesty note: Hilton and Hyatt block automated reading of their sites, so those rows come from archived copies of the hotels' own pages — dated in the cell wherever the date matters.

Choosing a West Loop hotel
A few rules of thumb if you’re weighing options:
- For Metra commuters or short Amtrak layovers — the Jefferson corridor hotels (Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites) are a one-block walk to Ogilvie and a short walk to Union Station.
- For dinner-first trips and Fulton Market events — Hyatt House, The Emily, The Hoxton, Nobu, and Soho House all put you inside the Fulton Market District, with most West Loop restaurants under a 10-minute walk.
- For United Center games and concerts — Hyatt House Chicago West Loop / Fulton Market is the closest of the hotels listed here, at about 1.0 mi from the arena. Many guests walk or rideshare from any West Loop hotel rather than drive.
- For UIC visits — the Holiday Inn & Suites on West Harrison sits just south of the Eisenhower, closer to the university than the rest.
Sonder, an apartment-style lodging operator at the west end of Randolph, closed permanently in November 2025 when the company filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and ceased U.S. operations; its archived listing remains for reference. Corporate rentals and similar alternative-lodging formats are outside the scope of this list.
Frequently asked questions
- Is the West Loop a good area to stay in Chicago?
- Yes. The West Loop is a popular base for both tourists and business travelers because it combines walkable restaurant density with easy CTA L access (Green, Pink, Blue Lines), Metra at Union Station and Ogilvie, and a 10-minute walk to the Loop business district and Willis Tower.
- Which West Loop hotel is closest to the United Center?
- Hyatt House Chicago West Loop / Fulton Market is the closest West Loop hotel to the United Center, at about 1.0 mi away.
- Which West Loop hotel is closest to Union Station?
- Holiday Inn & Suites is the closest West Loop hotel to Union Station, at about 0.3 mi away.
- What is the difference between West Loop and Fulton Market hotels?
- Fulton Market is a sub-area within the West Loop, centered on Fulton Market Street and the city-designated Fulton-Randolph Market Historic District. Hotels labeled "Fulton Market" sit in that pocket, surrounded by restaurants and tech offices. Hotels in the broader West Loop tend to be further east along Jefferson Street, closer to Metra and the Loop business district.
- Do West Loop hotels offer parking?
- Yes, at a price — every hotel that publishes a rate charges for it. Self-parking: $65/day at the Hampton Inn and Homewood Suites, $65/night with unlimited in-and-out at the Holiday Inn. Valet: $75/night at The Hoxton, $82 at The Emily, $85 at Nobu. Hyatt House and Soho House don't publish parking rates — call ahead.
- Which West Loop hotels are pet-friendly?
- Four publish pet policies on their own sites: Hampton Inn ($75 fee, up to 75 lbs, two pets), Homewood Suites ($75 for one to four nights, $125 for five or more, up to 75 lbs, two pets, dogs and cats only), The Emily ($100 fee plus a signed waiver), and Nobu ($150 per pet, up to 25 lbs). The Holiday Inn does not allow pets — service animals only. The Hoxton, Soho House, and Hyatt House don't publish room pet policies; call before booking with a pet.
- Which West Loop hotels have a pool?
- Five list one: Soho House (80-foot rooftop pool), The Hoxton (rooftop, seasonal Memorial Day through October, guests only), the Holiday Inn (seasonal outdoor pool at rooftop level, May–October), Nobu (its "Tranquility Pool"), and Hyatt House (a top-floor indoor pool per Hyatt's opening announcement). The Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, and The Emily don't list pools on their sites.
- Can non-members stay at Soho House Chicago?
- Yes. Soho House's own booking pages state that members and Soho Friends book bedrooms at reduced rates, and "bookings made outside of this are charged at the standard public rate" — anyone can book one of its 40 rooms.
- How do you get from a West Loop hotel to the airport?
- The CTA Blue Line runs directly to O’Hare from the Clinton and UIC-Halsted stations — about 45 minutes, no transfer. Midway is served by the Orange Line, not the Blue Line: take the Blue Line or walk into the Loop and transfer at Clark/Lake, roughly 45 minutes to an hour all-in. Pick-up zones for ride-share services are typically labeled at each hotel entrance.
- Are West Loop hotels safe?
- As with any downtown-adjacent urban area, common-sense precautions apply at night, and every visitor’s judgment is their own. For current neighborhood-specific reporting, check Block Club Chicago’s West Loop coverage and the Chicago Police Department’s published statistics.
