About the Godfrey:
Godfrey means peace and welcome; welcome to The Godfrey Hotel Chicago. Offering unforgettable style from the Cubist-influenced façade to the chic accommodations, each detail of this striking Chicago luxury boutique lifestyle hotel has been designed with the guest’s experience in mind.
Everyday life requires us to live outside our comfort zone; outside our element.
We find ourselves in surrounding places with a generalized design intent meant for mass appeal. At The Godfrey Hotel Chicago, we’ve created a rare spot that will make you feel entirely at ease. We offer a unique style with attention to comfort.
