Are you looking for a place to hold a party in Chicago? If so, you will find many rentals in Chicago that will help make your dream party become a reality. But before you throw your party, you can take some time to explore how beautiful Chicago is. You will have many unique experiences while touring the “Windy City.” You can take Instagram-worthy pictures at The Bean and go for a stroll at Grant Park. You can even catch a baseball game at Wrigley Field or visit a number of art galleries. If you feel hungry, you can grab a slice of pizza from Lou Malnati’s Pizza or an Italian beef sandwich from Al’s #1 Italian Beef. For dessert, have a chocolate marshmallow sundae from Margie’s Candies. After a day of adventure, you can start planning your party. As you plan, check out some of the best party houses for rent in Chicago.

1. Lovely loft with skylights (from USD 720)
You can throw the best party at this beautiful vacation rental. The place is spacious with a 2,000-square foot (185.8-square foot) living area. It has high ceilings and skylights. When you throw a party here, your guests will enjoy gaze at the starry sky. I think the loft area would be perfect for parties, as it has a large gourmet kitchen with top-notch appliances and a full-sized bar.
It also features a garden patio and a rooftop deck, which are great spots for large parties. In case you need a private chef or a bartender for your party, you can let the hosts know. They will be happy to arrange these services for you.

2. Modern beach house for eight (from USD 938)
Comfortably accommodating up to eight guests, this contemporary beach house comes with four spacious bedrooms and three full baths. Though it is situated by the beach, you can experience Chicago’s vibrant nightlife while you are here as it is located near some of the top nightspots in the area. Though if I were staying here, I’d love to take an afternoon just to explore the beach.
There is a game room to keep you entertained and there is also a gym on site for those who wish to stay active. At night, you and your loved ones can gather by the fire pit to share some stories while you savor your favorite beverages.
What guests are saying about their stay:
“This urban beach house was a joy to stay in for a long weekend. There was plenty of room — more than we needed for six to stay and 14 for a birthday party. We didn’t even use the basement family room, except for a couple of dining chairs. The garage option was totally worth the extra charge for coming and going without a parking hassle. The downstairs refrigerator was great for storing food overflow. Lots of storage and serving dishes in the kitchen, but a bit less flatware.” - by Dawn B.

There is a large hot tub in the master bathroom for a relaxing soak at the end of a fun-filled day. The spacious deck is equipped with a coffee table and a cooler, so you can relax at any time of the day with your choice of beverage. I think the deck would be a great place to organize the party as well.
What guests are saying about their stay:
“The rooftop set up was the best though. Excellent space up too with a great view. It was well decorated with party lights and the perfect furniture. The fact that there is also a really nice bathroom up there makes it even better! I absolutely suggest this place for a fun party spot in Chicago!” - by Lesley Z.

Looking for a unique place to have a party? This luxurious space with a speakeasy tiki bar will definitely make your party the talk of the town! The property has a large kitchen where you can set up your catering crew. The host offers a third-party catering and bartending service for a fee of 475 USD if you’d rather not bother with finding a crew for yourself!
The on-site Midnight Leopard Lounge Speakeasy is actually a shared space, and you’ll need to pay an additional fee for access. But the price might just be worth it as the space offers a Bluetooth sound system, ice machine, dart board, and an opulent ambiance.
11. Spacious rental near Wrigley Field (from USD 1221)
If you’ve been dreaming of an outdoor spot to host a party, this rental might just be perfect for you. Its highlight is the back deck where you can host up to 50 people! There are additional charges though, and parties of 20 - 35 people cost an extra 500 USD. And if you want to go all the way up to 50 guests, you’ll have to pay another 500 USD along with a separate 500 USD refundable security deposit.
The property’s proximity to Wrigley Stadium makes it an ideal place to hold an after-game party.
What guests are saying about their stay:
“We rented this property for a weekend bachelorette party and the location was great, as long as you don’t want to go to bed early. We were a group of women (ages 35-43) coming from Iowa, MI, and Florida. The condo was clean, beds were super comfy, and the patio space was perfect for us to gather for drinks, visiting, and snacking.” - Cecilia M.
12. Luxurious space with a rooftop deck (from USD 361)
If you’re someone who never gets tired of a good view, it’s high time you booked this rental!

The indoor spaces are as stunning, and the rental is equipped with a foosball table, numerous board games, and a small library.
What guests are saying about their stay:
“Ami’s property is amazing. We celebrated a bachelorette party and the space was perfect for it.

13. Opulent home with luxury services (from USD 7267)
Is opulence your top priority in a party? Then this luxurious rental will serve you well.

With the rental’s lavish decor, I think you can also take some great photos here! There’s also the 1,200-square-foot (111.48-square-meter) rooftop terrace where you and your friends can hang out, cocktails in hand, as the city glistens in the background.
Other luxury services you can book include private jet access or personal assistant and concierge.

14. Elegant home near Lincoln Square (from USD 750)
If you’re the kind of person who can’t be cooped up indoors, opt for this home with a beautiful rooftop deck. The deck will come in handy for your parties, and I’m pretty sure most of the guests will prefer to hang out on the deck and enjoy the fresh air. But don’t me wrong, the indoors are as beautiful with elegant spaces equipped with chic furnishings, and the living room with a fireplace will be a great spot to hang out as well.
If you can’t be bothered with the minutiae of your party, leave it all to Red Dog Hospitality, which manages the property! The group offers catering services and can help you put out the perfect party.
15. Chic home with a projector screen (from USD 701)
Planning a gathering that’s a bit on the mellow side? Book this rental with a grand piano and set the mood effortlessly! This unique home has more than a piano going for it, and you can watch a game or a fun movie on the projector screen while lounging with your friends. I particularly love the outdoor patio, where one can retreat to get a breath of fresh air.
If you want to organize a party here, make sure to clear it up with the host and get their approval.
