The Thompson

Our home base for the weekend!

Our room block no longer applies but you can still book rooms through the Thompson's website below.

Poised against the vastness of Lake Michigan, perfectly placed trees and grand historic mansions dot the manicured streets of Chicago’s historic Gold Coast. Within a short morning stroll, you can discover Oak Street’s trendy boutiques, the Magnificent Mile, the beauty of Lake Michigan at Oak Street Beach, as well as the best shopping and legendary nightlife the city has to offer.

Hotel Lincoln

A short walk from Cafe Brauer

Block closes 5/12

Eclectic in-room furnishings, sweeping views of Lake Michigan and the city’s iconic skyline, across-the-street access to Lincoln Park, and award-winning on-site eateries all set the tone for an experience that is quintessentially Chicago—and always genuine.

Kimpton Gray

Set in a historic building that’s considered one of Chicago’s finest landmarks, this is the height of opulence — but it’s also triumphantly modern. Think smart, sophisticated, and stylish.
