Streeterville Neighborhood Location
Located in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood, one block from Michigan Avenue. The hotel is a 10-minute walk to the Red Line train and 20-minute walk to the Loop. Surrounding area includes Northwestern Memorial Hospital, shopping destinations, and multiple dining options.
Hotel Services & Amenities
Services include valet parking ($65 daily), 24-hour business center, and pet-friendly accommodations (maximum 2 pets per room, 50lb weight limit). The hotel partners with Project SYNCERE for educational programs. Check-in is at 4:00 PM, check-out at 12:00 PM.
“Hotel Emc2 distinguishes itself with an art-meets-science theme and robotic attendants, a concept that mostly seems to work. The Streeterville location puts guests near Michigan Avenue, and the in-house dining, The Albert, experiments with molecular gastronomy. While some rooms feel smaller than expected, the hotel's tech-forward approach makes it a memorable option in downtown Chicago.”
