Hotels on this list are ranked by sustainability credentials first, then star rating, then guest review score. Every hotel is inside the West Loop as the City of Chicago's neighborhood map draws it, which takes in Fulton Market but cuts Greektown, Little Italy and the Loop proper. There is a mid-range and an upscale pick, and every hotel here is open and bookable.
How we ranked the best hotels in West Loop
On the City of Chicago's neighborhood map, the West Loop runs from the Chicago River west to Ashland Avenue, with its northern edge near Kinzie Street. Greektown, along Halsted Street, is mapped as its own neighborhood. The Green and Pink Line Morgan station at 958 W Lake Street and the Blue Line Clinton station at 426 S Clinton Street anchor transit access.
Hotels with verified sustainability certifications or published eco programs rank above those without. Within the same sustainability tier, higher star ratings come first, and guest review scores break any remaining ties.
This list is limited to hotels inside that boundary. That rules out the hotels around the Illinois Medical District and Little Italy, the Greektown hotels on Halsted, and the rentals and apartments nearby.
