Cubs Themed Hotel within Walking Distance of Wrigley Field

Updated April 2025

Have you heard of Hotel Versey? Hotel Versey is a former Days Inn transformed into a Cubs-themed boutique hotel within walking distance of Wrigley Field. If you’ve read my other posts about Wrigleyville, you know I adore Hotel Zachary, which is directly across the street from Wrigley Field. Hotel Zachary is another Cubs-themed hotel, but it is a bit more expensive due to its luxury status. In contrast, Hotel Versey offers a budget-friendly option. Finding an affordable hotel within walking distance of Wrigley Field was challenging until I discovered Hotel Versey.

Hotel Versey is a great place to stay; it’s clean and in an excellent location. It’s within walking distance of Wrigley Field without any issues. Getting a taxi, Uber, or Lyft can be nearly impossible on game nights, so keep this in mind when attending a game (they shut down many of the surrounding streets around the 8th inning). The walk was easy and safe.

Hotel Versey Location

644 W Diversey Pkwy, Chicago, IL 60614

Nestled on Diversey Avenue, Hotel Versey offers charm with a unique entrance. Atop the entrance, you’ll spot a fun baseball player figure, and the automatic sliding doors guide you into a hallway filled with artwork that captures the spirit of Chicago, the Cubs, and Wrigleyville. I don’t want to spoil too much, as I’m sure you’ll enjoy discovering it all yourself, but I adored the Harry Caray painting and the vibrant murals!

Hotel Versey Art and Vibe

Although the lobby is small, there are plenty of chairs to sit in and even more art to admire. A stack of books transformed into artwork hangs from the ceiling, a Cubs frame filled with baseballs adorns the wall, and a smiling employee behind the front desk is ready to greet you. Even the elevator has been converted into art, decorated with bumper stickers from wall to ceiling. It does give off a very hipster vibe, but what big city doesn’t?

Hotel Versey Rooms and Amenities

My room was a small queen room on the fourth floor. It was tiny, as I expected it to be (you should always assume this when staying in a downtown hotel). These rooms are suitable for one or two people. A queen bed fit snugly in the room, accompanied by a small nightstand, desk, wardrobe, and chair. The bathroom was slightly more spacious but only featured a walk-in shower. The rooms were recently remodeled but retained many vintage details. Behind the bed was a mural showcasing iconic spots from Wrigley Field.

The room lacked a mini-refrigerator or microwave, but I chose to cool my drinks in the provided ice bucket. If you prefer not to pay $5 for the bottled water offered in the room, a Walgreens across the street sells drinks and snacks. The room included a fancy Nespresso machine, which is a nice perk in my opinion.

There are numerous dining options in Wrigleyville, and you can check out my suggestions here. Additionally, DoorDash delivers until 2 a.m., but please remember that you’ll need to meet the delivery driver in the lobby, as the elevator requires a guest card for access.

Diversey Street Things To Do

Neighboring Hotel Versey is the famous Chicago donut spot, Stan’s Donuts & Coffee. Be sure to stop in for a visit while you’re there! The hotel provided me with coupons for a free donut with a drink purchase. These indulgent donuts are huge, rich, and worth trying. The buttermilk bar was worth every carb. They also showcase a fabulous display of colorful KitchenAid mixers, which caught my eye as a baker!

A variety of shopping and dining options surround the hotel. Directly across the street is a TJ Maxx, along with several smaller shops. I discovered some unique bookstores and other boutique shops just a block away. A movie theater and a mini Walmart shopping center also line the block. If you forget something at home, you can easily replace it nearby!
