Property Description

Located in the heart of the Windy City, Freehand offers private & shared accommodation, dynamic food & beverage and a relaxed community vibe. Freehand Chicago is housed in a classic 1927 building in Chicago's vibrant River North neighborhood - home to some of the city's best art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants. Inside, we've collaborated with acclaimed design firm Roman and Williams to transform the former Tokyo Hotel. Expect innovative design, affordable shared and private rooms, and a comfortable community atmosphere. The visionaries behind the Broken Shaker brought a whole new look to Chicago. Our second outpost features handcrafted cocktails to compliment our diverse street-food inspired menu. You'll find perfect blend of local ingredients and international flavors. Café Integral is serving up exceptional Nicaraguan coffee, artisanal light fare, coffee-infused cocktails and “Mesoamerican comfort food” to accompany the chill vibe of the hip Freehand Hotel.
