Frequently asked questions
What is The Emily Hotel Chicago?
The Emily Hotel is the rebrand of the former Ace Hotel Chicago — the same building at 311 N. Morgan St. in the West Loop's Fulton Market neighborhood, now operating under an independent identity. The design-forward character and Fulton Market location remain the same.
Why stay in the West Loop vs. downtown Loop hotels?
The Emily is the right pick when you're more excited about Chicago's restaurant scene than its convention calendar. Fulton Market is steps away — Girl & the Goat, Smyth, and dozens of other destination-level restaurants are walkable. The Loop is 10 minutes by rideshare or the Green Line L train.
What is Fulton Market Chicago?
Fulton Market is Chicago's former meatpacking district, now the city's most celebrated food and hospitality neighborhood. It's anchored by a stretch of James Beard Award–winning restaurants on Randolph Street and West Fulton Market, with a concentration of independent bars, coffee shops, and design-driven businesses that give it a more local character than River North.
Is the West Loop convenient for getting around Chicago?
Very — the Green and Pink L lines stop at Morgan Street, giving quick access to the Loop and Midway Airport. Rideshares to Wicker Park, Lincoln Park, and Wrigleyville are all under 20 minutes. The West Loop sits well for travelers who want a neighborhood feel without being isolated from the rest of the city.
