4-star hotel in a converted historic hospital near United Center
History and Character
Hyatt Place Chicago Medical/University District occupies the former Cook County Hospital, a building with a storied past that has been restored and converted into a hotel. A first-floor museum displays vintage medical artifacts, historical photographs, and a video of the building's transformation. The original cavernous hallways and extra-tall ceilings remain, giving the interior a spacious, airy feel uncommon in chain hotels.
Rooms and Accommodations
The hotel offers king and queen rooms as well as suites with an additional sofa bed, kitchenette, and separate living area. Each room includes a 55-inch flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, a microwave, and a dedicated workspace. Select rooms also provide a view of the Chicago skyline from large windows.
Dining and Breakfast
A complimentary breakfast is served each morning with hot items like scrambled eggs, pancakes, bacon, and sausage, plus cold options such as fresh fruit, yogurt, and cereal. The on-site bar and lounge serves a selection of beers, wines, and cocktails, and also offers a limited menu of hot food items. Breakfast runs until 9:30 AM on weekends, with a pancake machine available for fresh-made pancakes.
Location and Transportation
The hotel is a 12-minute walk from United Center, making it a convenient base for concerts, Bulls games, and Blackhawks games. Two CTA train stations-the Blue Line and the Pink Line at Polk-are within a 5-minute walk, offering direct access to downtown Chicago, O'Hare Airport, and Midway Airport. On-site parking is available for $30 per night, with an alternative hospital parking lot costing $20 per night across the street.
Facilities and Accessibility
The fitness center contains treadmills, free weights, and other exercise machines, all in working condition. The hotel is wheelchair accessible, with grab rails in accessible bathrooms and visual aids such as Braille and tactile signs. A shared lounge area on the second floor offers a space for relaxation and networking, and the entire property has free WiFi.

“This hotel's unique history as part of the old Cook County Hospital really stands out; the thoughtful restoration retains original details while providing modern comfort. The location is surprisingly convenient, near both the medical district and attractions like the United Center. In my opinion, it is a comfortable base for exploring Chicago, whether for business or leisure.”
