Luxury Boutique Hotel Announces Opening in Chicago’s Andersonville Neighborhood

By Gabriel Circiog, Associate Editor

The Andersonville Guesthouse is set to expand and upon reopening, in the summer of 2014, will be rebranded into The Guesthouse Hotel.

Located at 4866 North Clark Street, in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood, the former 10-unit boutique hotel will expand into a 25-unit luxury accommodation through the construction of a new building next to the existing hotel.

The Guesthouse Hotel aims to be the first luxury boutique hotel on Chicago’s Northside that allows guests to “live like a local” within a home-like setting. “Our guests have the opportunity to live like a local and take advantage of our proximity to Wrigley Field and downtown Chicago, wonderful restaurants, and shopping in the surrounding Andersonville, Uptown, and Lincoln Square neighborhoods,” said co-owner Simona Krug.

The hotel will feature one- and two-bedroom suites which will offer numerous comforts found in the hotel’s current two- and three-bedroom units, such as spa-like master bathrooms, gourmet kitchens and private outdoor area. The boutique hotel will also include penthouse units with private rooftop garden access. The new construction will have a spacious lobby with a reception area and retail space, library, club room, and exercise room.

“We want to create a different experience for travelers coming to Chicago – one that focuses on local neighborhood culture, offers comfort and independence, like that of your own home, and provides luxury accommodations at an affordable cost,” says Dave Krug, co-owner of The Guesthouse Hotel. “Our vision is to create a perfect hotel option for small groups or families where they have all of the home amenities in a popular Chicago neighborhood.”
