About Freehand Chicago

An 1920s Indiana limestone building on East Ohio Street, Freehand Chicago blends hostel roots with four-star ambition — private rooms share the property with multi-bed dorms, making it genuinely mixed-use rather than rebranded budget lodging.

The Broken Shaker bar, the hotel's most-talked-about feature, operates as a craft cocktail destination drawing River North locals as much as guests; happy hour and live DJ sets run most evenings. Room service arrives via mobile app, and the restaurant handles breakfast-to-go for early departures.

East Ohio Street places guests one block from the Grand Red Line stop and a ten-minute walk from Millennium Park. The midnight checkout is among the latest standard checkouts in the neighborhood.
