The Publishing House B&B is a 9,000 SF urban boutique bed & breakfast Chicago’s West Loop Neighborhood. The character of the 100+ year old building was maximized to house 11 uniquely designed guest rooms and to showcase the owner’s art and vintage artifacts collection. Massive windows and new skylights maximize natural light and views, while bringing light deep into the wide floor plate. Generously-sized common areas and new, sculptural wood staircases offer a variety of types and scales of spaces for the visitors to inhabit.
