Hotel Baker - A Historic 1928 Riverfront Landmark with Famous Entertainment Legacy
Located along the Fox River in downtown Saint Charles, this historic 2-star Saint Charles hotel features 53 uniquely appointed rooms with marble-accented baths and custom furnishings dating to 1928. The property's iconic Rainbow Room has hosted legendary performers including Tommy Dorsey, Louis Armstrong, and Lawrence Welk on its illuminated dance floor. Hotel Baker offers several distinctive venues including the Waterfront Room with imported marble floors and panoramic river views. The formal rose garden provides an outdoor setting illuminated by thousands of golden lights. Notable past guests at the Baker include President John F. Kennedy, Gerald Ford, and various senators and entertainers. Situated 31 mile from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the property features easy access to the historic Arcada Theater, Norris Cultural Center, and downtown shopping districts.
Pros
Home to the area's first-ever illuminated dance floor with 2620 colored lights synchronized to music
Features original 1928 architectural details and furnishings throughout the property
Waterfront Room offers imported marble floors and direct river access via French doors
Professional events staff provides full-service planning for meetings and social gatherings
Cons
Located 31 mile from Chicago's main international airport
Limited on-site parking requires use of nearby public garage
“What stands out is the historical atmosphere, even if some find the age also brings thin walls and dated features. The central location on the Fox River puts much within walking distance, a definite plus. If you appreciate vintage charm and a prime spot over total polish, it could be a good fit.”
