About Uptown
Where to stay in Uptown
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Uptown sits among the residential community areas within Chicago, a place travellers reach from the downtown hotels rather than a place to sleep. Uptown keeps very little lodging of its own. The streets around All Saints Episcopal Church, Saint Ita Catholic Church, and Epworth United Methodist Church give the district its landmarks, and the trains of Chicago link them quickly to the downtown rooms.
Book a downtown Chicago room instead.
About Uptown
What are the main landmarks in Uptown?
Uptown carries its landmarks in churches and memorials. All Saints Episcopal Church and Saint Ita Catholic Church stand among the blocks, while Epworth United Methodist Church marks another corner of the parish grid. The Frederick & Ada Winston Memorial and the Marshall Field Memorial keep the names of earlier figures among the district's monuments.
Together they anchor the district.
What is the history of Uptown?
Uptown took shape as a parish district on the grid of Chicago. Congregations built their churches close together, and All Saints Episcopal Church, Saint Ita Catholic Church, and Epworth United Methodist Church still trace the faiths that settled the neighbourhood side by side. Memory is set in stone here.
The Marshall Field Memorial recalls a figure from the district's earlier chapters within the wider city of Chicago.
