“Freehand Chicago strikes me as a successful blend of social hostel vibes and hotel comforts. The Art Deco building houses modern interiors and lively communal spaces, while its River North location puts guests steps from the Magnificent Mile. With its award-winning bar and diverse dining, I think it stands out as a dynamic option for those seeking both connection and convenience in the heart of the city.”
