Update from Ray’s Bucktown Bed and Breakfast.

We are taking reservations starting in June. Book now to assure a space this summer. Reservations are also be taken for next year at this years rates.

With Chicago’s Covid-19 peak projected mid-May we will attempt to open around the first of June.

Recapping, due to the Coronavirus crisis and Illinois’s ban on food service, and most importantly to protect the health of our guest and staff, we are temporarily shutting down until at least around the first of June. Unless there is some miracle, we will most likely have to stay shut down until the coronavirus infection numbers start going down while listening to facts and scientists such as Dr. Fauci. The moment we feel it is safe to reopen we will be implementing the extra safety & sanitation procedures outline below. 

We wish to encourage everyone to please be safe for the safety of everyone you know — SOCIAL DISTANCE, AND ENCOURAGE EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO SOCIAL DISTANCE. We will be answering phone calls & responding to messages daily, so if you have any questions feel free to call us at 773.384.3245.

Our whole Bed & Breakfast in Bucktown is available to rent on a weekly basis starting around the first of May: 12 bedroom / 12.5 bathroom with 4 garage spaces, rooftop deck, sauna, steam room, 3 living rooms, internet & cable. Also includes all usual home items such as kitchen, dining room, 2 washers & 2 dryers, and HDTVs in all the bedrooms.

$3500 per week (which includes weekly room cleaning) plus deposit.

Extra safety & sanitation procedures once we reopen:

-Staff will be required to take their temperature before coming in to work (and of course, as always been our policy staying home if they are sick)

-Screening guest before their arrival for coughs, sneezing & fever

-Hand sanitizer stations are set up throughout all common areas

-We will sanitize all door knobs and hand rails every day

-Breakfast will be served at 6 separate tables in the house & outside on our roof-top deck or brought to your room

Our standard thorough room cleaning has always received the “extra” sanitizing that is making the news — sanitizing TV Remotes, light switches and door handles. 

We urge you to support small local business during this time – we are in this together. Gift Certificates are available and we encourage you to buy gift certificates from your local small businesses in your home town.  

Ray’s unique Bed and Breakfast in the heart of Chicago’s Bucktown / Wicker Park / Logan Square neighborhood welcomes everyone, whether in town for work or play. Modeled after small European hotels and spas, the Bed and Breakfast has 11 rooms with private bathrooms. We are kid friendly, dog friendly, and heck, just friendly in general.
