Freehand Chicago

The stay

Freehand Chicago is a lively River North stay where a design-forward lobby and café culture make the property feel more like a social base than a conventional hotel. Café Integral brings a Central American specialty program to the building, giving coffee travelers a reason to linger beyond the check-in desk. The rooms are compact and the lounge leans swanky, but the appeal is the easy mix of hostel-inspired energy, helpful staff and a proper coffee stop downstairs. It is a fun, urban choice for exploring Chicago with a thoughtful cup close at hand.
