General Information

In Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood, China Doll offers three complete self-contained apartment suites with private entrances. The one-bedroom garden apartment is a romantic getaway with exposed brick walls. The first floor two-bedroom unit has a commercial grade indoor grill in its decorator kitchen. The second floor two-bedroom unit offers high ceilings, and a private 12 X 20 foot deck. All have fireplaces, two-person Jacuzzis, steam rooms, and gourmet kitchens. Unlike a Bed & Breakfast, there are no shared facilities. Our in-unit office areas include a computer with MS Office, high-speed cable Internet access, scanner, black and white laser printer, photocopier, CD writer, and fax machine. Full color laser printing is available on the wireless network. We also tend to your personal comfort. Each unit has a private two-person Jacuzzi and steam room (robes, slippers, and aromatherapy oils provided). Entertainment consisting of premium cable TV, VCR/DVD’s with a library of movies, stereo, and CD player can be enjoyed either in front of the fireplace or in bed (the 2nd floor has a fireplace in the bedroom). During nice weather enjoy the deck and private garden. For breakfast, help yourself to the variety of coffees, teas, juices, eggs, bacon, sausage, muffins, bagels, cereals, fruit, yogurt, cream cheese, and other fixings. Other amenities include washer and dryer, built-in ironing board, and shoe shining equipment. For your trips to the beach, Grant Park, or Ravina concerts, we provide chairs, wheeled cooler, umbrella, and towels. Baby equipment provided. The neighborhood offers a broad range of restaurants, theaters, bars, and live music. Kingston Mines, Chicago Blues, Briar Street Theater, Wrigley Field, Lincoln Park, Lake Michigan, and the beach are within walking distance. TAKE A VIRTUAL TOUR ON OUR WEBSITE! See "Inn's Home Page"

• Directions to property:
  738 W. Schubert is 1/2 block east of Halsted and one block south of Diversey. Schubert T's at Halsted and Clark so you will not find it from other streets. Our website reservations page contains a Yahoo Maps link near the bottom of the page. Email us at ChinaDollChicago@yahoo for detailed directions.
• Nearest major airport: CHI 15 miles
• Directions from airport:
  The train is fast, convenient, and, except in the middle of the night, safe. It also costs only $2.00 rather than $35.00 for a taxi. If your plans simply call for you to be in the city, I don't think a car is necessary and could even be an expensive nuisance. Check out the CTA visitors passes on there website .TransitChicago. These can be purchased at the airport and provide unlimited rides for the period of time purchased. If you still decide to rent a car, I provide guest passes for street parking but also have made arrangements for off street parking on our block for $10.00 per 24 hours with unlimited in and our privileges. Email us at ChinaDollChicago@yahoo for detailed directions.
