Chicago Parthenon Hostel

The Chicago Parthenon Guest House is a winning choice for your lodging needs when visiting the city of Chicago. Located in the historic Greektown West Loop neighborhood and nestled in the shadow of the Willis Tower, we are centrally located to many of Chicago’s finest attractions and close to a variety of restaurants, cafés, bars, and shops all within walking distance. The Loop, Millennium Park, Michigan Avenue’s Magnificent Mile shopping, the world-renowned Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum Campus, Navy Pier, sports and music venues, and so much more are all located a short and easy traveling distance away. We even have a pub off our lobby,
We have temporarily canceled our offer of a free continental breakfast buffet and instead are offering 24-hour coffee and tea station to all our guests. We offer free wi-fi in the building, free Chicago maps upon arrival, and touring information. Our hostel has a large common area with a flat-screen TV, a shared library, couches, and a dining table for eating and work, a simple kitchenette, and luggage storage is provided if needed. All our guests upon check-in receive a secure 24-hour FOB entry for the hostel front door plus their room key – there is no curfew at our property. The front desk is typically worked 24 hours (winter season may vary) - however, if arriving after 10pm please notify us of your late check-in request via email. Thank you!
Check out our photos to get an idea of our property! We have both private bedrooms (1-6 guests) and dorm-style bedrooms (up to 8 guests) – all bedrooms share bathrooms per floor.
We are close to the Amtrak train (Union Station), both the Greyhound Bus Station and Megabus stop, a 1-minute walk to the CTA Blue Line subway going to the O’Hare airport (UIC/Halsted Station), and near the intersection of all the major Interstate expressways (I-90/94, I-290, I-55) passing through Chicago. Parking is within a couple of blocks of us and is self-park and self-pay (please use the app “Park Whiz” for major discounts).
