A Historic Chicago Hotel With Rock 'n' Roll Roots
The new Hotel Versey has been known by many names, like the "Rock and Roll Days Inn" and the "Chicago Boutique Hotel - Days Inn on Diversey," but its history is all its own. Many musicians and performers have stayed at our historic Chicago hotel throughout the years, and few hotels can boast a guest list that includes the Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Wilco, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the Black Keys, to name a few.
Back in the day, bands staying at the hotel meant Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love dying their hair in the bathtubs, Sheryl Crow rollerblading through the lobby (not permitted), a front desk clerk doing laundry for the Goo Goo Dolls, and Alanis Morissette bringing sushi to a front desk clerk. Many nights you could see musicians sitting in the lobby playing guitar.
Today, bands still frequent the hotel. While not as much as in the Rock and Roll days, their stories live on. We're dedicated to keeping our unique heritage alive, and look forward to sharing it with you at Hotel Versey in Chicago. If you have any good Days Inn band stories, we'd love to hear them.
