University Quarters Bed & Breakfast & Suites

Now with three guest rooms as well as a two-room suite, University Quarters Bed & Breakfast & Suites occupies the 1st and 2nd Floors of a lovely, vintage, totally updated greystone one-half block from The University of Chicago campus and close to McCormick Place and the Loop. The 1st Floor, including three guest rooms, can also be reserved as a private, full-floor suite.

University Quarters Bed & Breakfast & Suites is perfect for parents, prospective students, professors, McCormick Place visitors, and business and vacation travelers to Chicago.

Our B&B offers the amenities of a good hotel with the intimacy, warm hospitality, and personal touch that a hotel cannot provide.

The diverse neighborhoods surrounding the campus are among Chicago's most beautiful and historic -- close to Lake Michigan and a short drive or train to McCormick Place, Soldier Field, Chicago's Museum Campus, the Art Institute, and The Loop.

A generous full breakfast is served each morning. Free, high-speed, wireless and cable Internet access.

University Quarters Bed & Breakfast & Suites is a short walk to all departments of The University of Chicago and its Medical Center.

The B&B is one block from a city CTA bus stop, including a bus to Midway Airport, and four blocks from a Metra train for a 10-minute ride to McCormick Place and an 18-minute ride to The Loop and Chicago events.

You will be a short walk or taxi ride to Hyde Park's businesses and restaurants and to The University of Chicago's Oriental Institute Museum, Court Theatre, Smart Museum, and Renaissance Society Museum. And close by are Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House, the Museum of Science and Industry, the Hyde Park Art Center, and the DuSable Museum of African American History.

Innkeeper Response
Thank you so much for your review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our B&B, and we appreciate this opportunity to clarify some information about our location. The neighborhoods surrounding the University of Chicago campus -- like those close to many of the world's great universities -- are extremely diverse and have much to offer visitors. Our B&B is two blocks from the University of Chicago Law School where President Obama once taught, and his Chicago home is 10 blocks away. We understand that guests who have not previously traveled to complex and diverse urban neighborhoods are sometimes uneasy when they first arrive. We can assure visitors that both the B&B and the neighborhood are safe, and in our nine years we have never had any problems. The neighborhoods around the campus are constantly patrolled by both the University of Chicago Police and the City of Chicago Police, which helps to ensure the safety of all our guests. Our location makes us ideal for travelers visiting McCormick Place, Soldier Field, Chicago's Museum Campus, the Art Institute, Millennium Park, the Loop, or the shops on Michigan Avenue. We hope that on your next visit, we can help you discover all that Chicago has to offer.
