River North's name is aptly derived from the fact that it is located just north of the Chicago River. Despite it's uncreative title, River North is home to some of Chicago's premier art galleries, design studios, and bustling night life. Originally home to old industrial warehouses forming a hub around Chicago's Merchandise Mart, artists and designers began flooding the area for cheap, rentable loft spaces perfect for their artistic endeavors. We love River North because we can find inspiration at every corner, not to mention terrific food.
Experience the food, culture, and gypsy spirit of Bohemia in this River North enclave.
Billed out as a hotel that costs less but has a ton of extras, the Acme Hotel doesn't disappoint. Guests can enjoy free coffee, delicious homemade pastries from local West Town Bakery, and a free custom Google Glass city tour. Don't leave without stopping at one of Chicago's premier cocktail bars, The Berkshire Room, located in the hotel. And don't be afraid to try one of Acme's signature extras, the $25 "hair of the dog" service that includes aspirin, gatorade, and a $25 dollar gift certificate to MBurger, a delicious burger joint nearby.
