Inn Details

A charming brownstone two-flat, the House of Two Urns offers free wi-fi, guest kitchen and laundry access while you are visiting or working in Chicago, yet has all the charm of the 20th century. It earned its name from a recurring motif in the original stained glass and rooftop urns. Built as a storefront Polish bakery, the B&B is in what was originally the owner's flat on the second floor and is conveniently located close to downtown in Wicker Park, is easily accessible to the Kennedy expressway and public transporation from O'Hare and Midway airports, the Loop and Amtrak. We offer free off-street parking (2 units have a garage space included), guest kitchen, laundry access, spa robes, slippers, alarm clocks, Dish TV service, hair dryer, DVD or VCR and free local phone calls with a guest courtesy phone. We offer 3 apartment units with 3-4 bedrooms that can accommodate from 3 to 10 - our apartment units do not offer breakfast. Four our B&B guests, garden fresh fruits grace the full breakfast of one of Kapra's "blue plate specials" or choose from the buffet of freshly baked muffins, breads, homemade granola, homemade jams from our garden, cold or hot cereals, yogurt and bananas, tea or coffee and orange juice. We are celebrating our 19th year in business and look forward to welcoming you to our home on your next visit to Chicago. Wicker Park is a hip, dynamic, ethnically diverse neighborhood that is safe for walking to and from public transit or the many trendy or casual restaurants, coffee houses, alternative theatre and music venues and boutiques that are just blocks from the inn and apartments. Guests from around the world have enjoyed the hospitality of the inn's host, who is very knowledgeable about Chicago, the arts, cultural events and can help make your trip and enjoyable and memorable one.

    Enjoy an afternoon tea in the garden or our new 2nd floor deck at the main inn.The Eastlake bedroom is one of the lovely Wicker Park Apartment offerings.
    Enjoy one of Kapra's "blue plate specials" each morning, today it is Apricot crepes.  Visit us in late July and August and the apricots will be fresh off our own garden trees.  We also have raspberries, currants, pears, strawberries, gooseberries, blackberries and blueberries in our garden that we grow fresh for our guests and for our delicious jams that we get to serve our guests year-round.All our guestrooms have comfortable seating areas outside of your sleeping room.  They make a great place to chat with other guests or get away for a quiet spot to read a book.
