A local Chicago couple saw the amazing potential of in a 100-year-old, 3 story building, and decided to turn it into an 11 room Bed & Breakfast in the heart of the West Loop. One Chicago area bank also believed in the full potential of this couple’s vision, helping them make this project a reality through their Commercial Real Estate Financing Program.
This new Bed & Breakfast, now known as The Publishing House Bed and Breakfast, sought to serve the needs of the area by catering to corporate guests, local residents’ visiting families, and wedding parties from the hosts to the guests for a weekend stay in an iconic Chicago location. Prior to the creation The Publishing House, the area did not have a lodging option allowing all 11 rooms to be utilized by corporate teams or smaller wedding parties. After the building was purchased with the financial assistance of Centrust Bank, it was fully remodeled to not just include event space and overnight lodging, but also a beauty salon and wine bar – making the guest experience even more memorable. The sought-after wedding venue over weekends is now consistently booked up over a year in advance.
