These five hotels are within the core Lakeview and Wrigleyville boundaries, within walking distance of Wrigley Field at 1060 W Addison Street and the Addison CTA Red Line station. The ranking applies three criteria in order: verified sustainability credentials first, then star rating, then guest review scores from major travel platforms.
All five are inside the neighborhood as we draw it: Diversey Parkway to the south, Irving Park Road to the north, Lake Michigan to the east, and Ravenswood Avenue to the west.
How this list was ranked
Hotels with verified sustainability certifications or published eco practices appear before those without. Within the same sustainability tier, higher star ratings take precedence. Where star ratings match, higher average guest review scores break the tie.
We only counted hotels whose address puts them inside core Lakeview or Wrigleyville. A hotel in Lincoln Park, Uptown or Roscoe Village didn't make it, whatever its website says about the location.

What sustainability credentials mean for Lakeview & Wrigleyville hotels
There aren't many hotels here, and most are independently owned, so third-party certifications like LEED or Green Key are rare.
Marriott's Serve 360 program covers Hotel Zachary. It tracks energy, water, and waste across the portfolio and publishes annual progress reports. Best Western's corporate environmental policy sets baseline standards for its hotels. Neither one is a property-specific certification like LEED.
The other three hotels carry no verified third-party eco certification. If sustainability is your main filter, Hotel Zachary is the pick in this neighborhood.
