Description for Gite

The Mansion was designed in 1886 by a prominent architect, Harald M. Hansen for his own family, and it now a Historically Significant Building, as it has all its original Victorian detail -- Giannini and Hilgart stained glass windows, pocket doors and shutters, parquet floors, decorative fireplaces, carved wood trim, plaster ceiling medallions, etc.

Its 19th century furnishings and artwork reflect the home's original charm, and its 21st century conveniences such as central air conditioning, high-speed Internet, WiFi and ethernet, and our strict non-smoking policy all contribute to our guests' comfort. This is a very special place to stay, unlike anything else in Chicago.

On the first level is a living room, dining room which seats ten, butler's pantry, half bath and newly remodeled full eat-in kitchen.

We have four bedrooms, three with queen beds and one with two singles.
