Good to know

Good to Know

  • Most traditional day passes (Workbox, Second Shift, Ampersand, etc.) are only valid during staffed weekday hours — often 8:30am–5pm Monday–Friday — so they're not a fallback for evening or weekend work.
  • Aggregator apps (Deskpass, LANS, Zentry Pass, LiquidSpace) let you buy single day passes across dozens of Chicago spaces without a membership, which is often the most flexible option for a short stay.
  • Prices skew noticeably higher in Fulton Market, River North, and Gold Coast than in neighborhood spots like Logan Square or Bucktown — worth comparing before committing to a monthly plan.
  • Working From_ inside The Hoxton in Fulton Market is the clearest true hotel-coworking hybrid in the city, with an actual shared coworking floor and hotel perks bundled in — most other 'hotel workspace' options in Chicago (Hotel Julian, Thompson Chicago) are really a private day-use guest room rather than a communal coworking space.
  • Soho House Chicago is genuinely selective — applications are reviewed by a membership committee and the club has historically favored applicants from creative industries (film, fashion, art, media, advertising) over traditional corporate backgrounds.
  • Three Cities Social is positioned as a lower-cost, no-long-term-contract alternative to legacy Chicago social clubs, with a stated focus on building real friendships/community rather than pure business networking — useful context if you're choosing between the two for work-and-social use.
  • If housing-plus-coworking bundled coliving is what you're after, you likely won't find a purpose-built option in Chicago the way you might in some coastal or explicitly 'digital nomad hub' cities — plan on renting separately and picking a coworking or club membership independently.

Coworking Spaces

Traditional and Hotel-Based Spaces

  • Working From_ Fulton Market (Inside The Hoxton Chicago)
    Day pass
    $40
    Type
    Hotel-based coworking
    Neighborhood
    Fulton Market / West Loop (200 N Green St, 3rd floor)
    Vibe and Amenities
    A genuine hotel-coworking hybrid built into The Hoxton Chicago, one L stop from Morgan/Lake (Green/Pink lines). Day pass includes bottomless tea/coffee; members get hotel perks like Duvet Days and discounted stays, plus reported perks elsewhere in the Working From_ network such as daily wellness classes, outdoor terraces, and 24-hour access. The Fulton Market building also houses a rooftop pool and an in-house cocktail bar. Current monthly membership pricing wasn't listed on the live site at time of research — a 2019 launch report cited tiers roughly from $75/mo up to $700/mo for a private studio, but treat that as historical, not confirmed current pricing.

    Michigan Avenue / the Loop

    Not a shared coworking floor — this is a private day-use guest room (8am–5pm) with Millennium Park views, sold as a quiet alternative to communal coworking. The hotel's in-house steak bar, About Last Knife, offers a discount to remote workers using the space.

Membership Clubs and Co-living Hybrids

Context Note
No dedicated coliving-hybrid coworking operator (i.e., a space combining short-term furnished housing with an integrated coworking membership, in the style of Outsite or similar international operators) could be confirmed as currently operating in central Chicago. Chicago's nomad-facing 'clubhouse' scene (Soho House, Three Cities Social) blends social club and coworking, but none of these bundle on-site accommodation.

Clubs and Hybrids

  • Soho House Chicago
    Type
    Membership club
    Neighborhood
    Fulton Market / West Loop
    Membership Process
    Application-based, requiring a headshot, career history, and a description of what the applicant would add to the community; reviewed by a membership committee. The club has historically skewed toward creative-industry applicants.
    Vibe and Amenities
    A converted early-1900s belt-manufacturing warehouse and tannery in Fulton Market, functioning as part boutique hotel, part private club. Amenities include an 80ft rooftop pool with West Loop views, a gym with a boxing ring, spa, screening room, workspaces (a drawing room where daytime workstations become ping-pong tables at night), an in-house art collection, and multiple restaurants/bars open to the public on the ground floor with back rooms reserved for members.

    Pricing

    Standard Membership
    $875
    Under 27 Membership
    $450
    Notes
    Pricing is tiered (Local House vs. Every House / Cities Without Houses vs. Under 27) and Soho House says final pricing is calculated per applicant; figures above are the current 'starts from' rate for the standard Local House-style tier.
  • Three Cities Social
    Type
    Membership club
    Neighborhood
    Two clubhouses: River North (original location) and Wicker Park
    Membership Process
    Application-reviewed to maintain community fit, though positioned as more accessible and less 'stuffy' than legacy Chicago social clubs, with no waiting list emphasized in its own marketing.
    Vibe and Amenities
    Explicitly described as 'part social club, part coworking social club.' The River North clubhouse has BYOB lounges, a long dining table, private offices, open workspace, and a library. The newer Wicker Park building (opened 2025) adds an outdoor terrace, pool table, home gym, boardroom, dining room, and open work areas. Programming leans into community-building for adults (dinners, group runs, pickleball, volunteer days, member nights) rather than pure networking.

    Pricing

    Couple Membership
    $299
    Individual Membership
    $249
    One Time Enrollment Fee
    $150
    Notes
    No-contract, month-to-month; one membership unlocks both clubhouses.
