With the official start of winter on the horizon, it's what our real estate agents like to call "cozy season" in Chicago. It's the perfect time of year to check into a homey bed and breakfast for a little holiday getaway. 

Visitors looking for a place to stay or locals seeking a winter "staycation" will find no shortage of options in each of Chicago's distinct neighborhoods. These are some of our favorite bed and breakfasts in Chicagoland.

The historic building — originally built in 1886 — has housed the bed and breakfast since 2004. With exposed brick and vintage wallpaper contrasted by modern design touches, it's a beautiful space. The Wicker Park Inn makes a great home base while exploring the  boutiques, restaurants, music venues and galleries of Wicker Park, which have earned it a reputation as one of the city's hippest neighborhoods.

    Few B&Bs can match the level of acclaim that has been bestowed on the Publishing House Bed & Breakfast, a homey yet elegant inn in Chicago's lively West Loop that has been called the best in Illinois. The brick building housing the establishment was built in 1909 and has served as a publishing house, casket factory, and museum before being renovated and reopened as a bed and breakfast in 2017.
