Chicago Group Vacation Rentals: Everything You Need to Know

Chicago is one of the most group-friendly cities in the country. Whether you are planning a family reunion, a corporate retreat, a birthday weekend, or just a trip with old friends, the city has everything you need. The key is finding the right place to stay.

**The math on group rentals**

Hotels price by room. Groups pay per room. For a group of 12, you need at least 4 hotel rooms and at $200 to $300 per room that is $800 to $1,200 per night just for beds. A 4-bedroom Dream Rentals property that sleeps 12 to 16 people runs $400 to $600 per night. You save 40 to 60 percent and get significantly more space.

**What to look for**

Bedroom count matters, but so does bathroom count. A 4-bedroom home with 2 bathrooms creates a bottleneck every morning. Look for at least one bathroom per two bedrooms.

Kitchen size matters for groups. Full-size kitchens mean you can do one grocery run and cook a few meals together, saving hundreds on food costs over a weekend.

**Best group properties in Chicago**

Our most popular group properties include a 4-bedroom Loop home with a private theater and two decks that sleeps 16, a 5-bedroom Wicker Park home with a sauna, hot tub, and rooftop that sleeps 10, and a variety of 2 and 3-bedroom properties throughout the city for smaller groups.

**Neighborhoods that work for groups**

The Loop is centrally located and walkable to the main attractions. Wicker Park has a great local bar and restaurant scene. Lincoln Park is quieter and better for families. South Loop puts you close to the Museum Campus, Soldier Field, and the lakefront.
