The Publishing House Bed and Breakfast in Chicago

Modern Bed and Breakfast in the Heart of Chicago’s West Loop

The Publishing House is located inside a 110-year-old brick building that has been a publishing house, factory, and holography museum over the decades. This old building received a new life when Kimberly and Shawn bought it, completely remodeled, and reimagined into a modern, urban bed and breakfast, right in the heart of Chicago's West Loop neighborhood.

The Publishing House has a contemporary, hip vibe filled with mid-century modern furnishings and stunning pieces of bright artwork. The lofty ceilings throughout the space give the entire place an open feeling that is incredibly inviting.
