This hotel was built in 1928 for Edward J. Baker, a native of St. Charles who earned the honorary title of "Colonel" with his luck in horse racing. His vision was for an elegant hotel-resort -- the most luxurious small hotel featuring 55 rooms. The hotel has welcomed guest like John F. Kennedy, Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley, Gerald Ford, to senators and entertainers.

Many report the place to be haunted. A suicide was commited there in the 1970s. It was the hotel chambermaid who was the victim. She was left at the altar and ended up drowning herself in the nearby Fox River. Her spirit now resides at the hotel. Some report hearing moaning sounds from the 6th floor storage room area, which was the area that housed employees back then.

  • This hotel is sooooooooooooo spooky

    I went here with my best friend Mila, and we stayed in the 6th floor right next to our friends Ella, Avery, and Minai. We heard moaning noises near the storage room at 3:37 AM. It was sooo scary. We cried. Maybe it was just our upstairs neighbors making the moaning noises but it was sooo scary.

    It's also believed that Colonial Baker's wife, Harriet Rockwell Baker, haunts the top balcony of the hotel.
