River North’s Freehand Chicago boasts a head-to-toe vibe of funky vintage, breezy tropical, and geometric decor. Room options include private, shared, and a penthouse luxury suite. Head to happy hour at the in-house bar the Broken Shake, or walk a few minutes to some of the best steakhouses, cocktail bars, and restaurants in River North. Freehand Chicago’s location in River North, just outside of the Loop, is a short stroll from some of the city’s most popular tourist spots, such as the Magnificent Mile and Navy Pier, where you can jump on the Centennial Wheel and get a bird’s eye view of the city. It’s also home to some of the best places to eat in the city, making it a great area for foodies, and is a cultural hotspot too, with a number of excellent museums and theaters located nearby. Try Three Dots and a Dash for tropical cocktails and Roka Akor if you’re hungry for Wagyu beef. Other amenities include a fitness center and curated tours and activities.
