Talbott Hotel
An upscale boutique hotel located within Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood and just steps from the iconic Michigan Avenue, our beautiful building came of age in the 1920sa boom time for jazz, art and the downtown skyline. Through the years we were once a laundromat and even a jazz club, where bands like The Stones and the Dead would hang out. Legend has it that our newly renovated hotel was originally named after the rare Talbot-Lago sports car.
We're still one of a kind, and we're glad to welcome you.
