Sometimes you just need a little bit more room. Maybe it’s for your friends from out of town or your in-laws who are here on an extended stay—we’re not going to judge. Luckily, in the near western suburbs of Chicago, there’s plenty of extra space, like at the new Treehaus Suites in historic downtown La Grange.
From the team behind The Elm, the Treehaus Suites are perfect for those times when a standard hotel room starts to feel a little tight. They offer something closer to a short-term apartment than your traditional overnight stay. Think full living spaces and room to spread out, in addition to a location right in the middle of one of the most walkable downtown districts in the area. It makes it easy for guests to simply unpack and experience La Grange the way locals do.
Introducing the Treehaus Suites
Just behind local hot spot The Elm, the Treehaus Suites provide something you don’t often find in smaller suburban downtowns: short-term stays that feel more like a comfortable apartment than a hotel room. The boutique property consists of five thoughtfully designed suites located above downtown La Grange, giving guests a quiet place to retreat while still being mere steps from restaurants, shops, and the Metra train line. Whether someone is visiting family for a while or on a trip and simply needs a little extra space, the suites are designed to make longer stays easy.
