Writer’s Getaway: The Write Inn, Oak Park, Illinois

The Write Inn is a perfect place to get some inspiration if you are a writer. You are right across the street from the Hemingway Museum and down the street from the historic Hemingway Birthplace Home. The rooms are comfortable enough, but the real reason to stay here is twofold: the location and the restaurant. The hotel is right in the heart of Oak Park, with the “el” train nearby for an easy trip to Chicago. The delicious fare at Hemmingway’s Bistro (btw, it is spelled wrong on purpose) is amazing, and the atmosphere is wonderful. If you stay here, be sure to take a few minutes to enjoy the nearby Oak Park Library with its glorious chandeliers and stop in for some free fresh bread at Great Harvest at the corner of Lake and Oak Park Avenue.
