    Perfect location in downtown, not too far of a walk to anywhere and also not too far/expensive for Ubers. Walgreens right next door. Few luggage storage spaces however they were very handy and easy to use as self check out as we had a late flight...

    I love services like Sonder, where Arrh-BeenBi comfort/value of a kitchen-equipped apartment meets the reliability and formality of working with a company, not a homeowner personally. Property was very clean, pretty spacious for a studio,...

Company information

9000+ spaces. 40+ cities. We exist to make better spaces open to all. Every Sonder is thoughtfully designed as an all-in-one space for working, playing, or living.

Property information

Art-filled galleries. Bustling cafes. Posh boutiques. The Opal is at the heart of River North. This five-story brick building is covered in large windows, mirroring the beautiful skyscrapers around it. Inside, chic decor, en-suite laundry, and a fully equipped kitchen complete your apartment. Step outside, and you’ll be amidst endless dining and entertainment. The cavatelli from Quartino Ristorante is our favorite guilty pleasure. Or, if you’d prefer a home-cooked meal, there’s a Whole Foods Market right down the street. Take your time wandering around the Museum of Contemporary Art or the City Gallery inside a historic water tower. Experience Chicago with a comfortable stay at The Opal.

Neighbourhood information

Chicago's art and design district is a hub for inspiration. River North is full of creative minds, delicious eats, and architectural charms. Calling all entertainment seekers, we found your destination. Dance like no one is watching at The Rec Room or sway amongst the live music crowd at The Bassment. Peruse the shops at The Merchandise Mart or wander through a 19th-century mansion, The Richard H. Driehaus Museum. The Windy City has it all. Create your own sidewalk food tour followed by an appetizer picnic. Bask in the city views from the bridge across the Chicago Riverwalk. Whether you're here for business, pleasure, or a bit of both, River North has something for everyone.
