Want a wider list than the one above? Expedia searches its own hotel inventory in Chicago. We do not show its prices here.

How we earn: StubOrder may earn a commission when you book through the Expedia links on this page. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes which events, venues or places we show you.

Staying near a specific Chicago venue

This is usually the better question. The hotels above are measured from the middle of Chicago, which is only the right anchor if the city itself is the trip. If you are coming for one event, what matters is how far you are from that building at 11pm, and in most cities the centre and the venue are not the same place.

Each page below runs its own search from that venue’s own coordinates and sorts by real straight-line distance from the doors, with a plain note on every card saying whether that is a walk, a long walk or a drive.

Cheaper than a hotel in Chicago

Chicago has 7 hostels, which is enough to be a genuine alternative rather than a curiosity. On the night of a sold-out event the gap is at its widest, because city hotel rates spike for a big show and hostel beds barely move. See the hostels in Chicago, with how they score against the hotels on this page.

How to read these listings

Every card carries the same facts in the same order, so two properties can be compared at a glance rather than read as marketing copy.

  • Distance is straight-line, not walking. We know where the property is and where the centre is; we do not know the streets in between. That is why each card also says walkable, long walk or drive, and why those labels are deliberately conservative.
  • Guest scores are our accommodation partner’s, not ours. StubOrder does not review hotels. Where a score appears it is theirs, with the review count beside it so you can judge how much weight it carries.
  • The rate is the lowest available for the stay you asked for, for two adults, and it moves constantly. Treat it as a comparison between properties rather than a quote.
  • Nothing here is paid placement. The order is distance from the centre, full stop. No property pays to appear or to rank.

Plan the rest of the trip

Frequently asked questions

Why are no prices shown until I pick dates?

Because a nightly rate only means anything for a specific stay, and asking for one costs a live request. Pick your dates and every property above is priced for exactly those nights, for two adults.

Is it cheaper to stay near the venue or in the centre?

It depends on the city and the night. Near a stadium on an event night is usually the expensive option; the centre is usually better value but adds a journey. Both pages exist so you can compare them rather than guess.

How close are these hotels to the Chicago venues?

The hotels on this page are measured from the middle of Chicago. For distance from a specific building, use that venue's own page. Each one is linked above and sorts every nearby property by real distance from the doors.

Are there hostels in Chicago?

Yes - 7 of them, enough to be worth their own page. A dorm bed is usually the largest saving available on an event-night trip.

What kind of hotels are there in Chicago?

The stock is mixed, with 4-star the largest single band at 100 of 200, and 63 of them are within a mile of the centre. They average 8.7/10 in guest scores from our accommodation partner.

Does StubOrder sell hotels and tickets together?

No. Tickets come from our resale marketplace and rooms from our accommodation partner, as two separate bookings with separate confirmations.
