In this episode, Jonathan shares:
The inspiration behind launching The Neighborhood Hotel in 2020.
How he merges historic architecture with contemporary design across Chicago neighborhoods—Lincoln Park, Little Italy, and soon West Loop—and in Michigan.
His philosophy of “lasting luxury”: thoughtful amenities, local partnerships, and a home-away-from-home vibe Stories behind the design choices—from heirlooms turned art to custom blankets and curated coffee experiences.
The brand’s commitment to community giving and its mission to elevate every stay.
His mission? Offer “lasting luxury”—quality craftsmanship, suite kitchens, premium linens, curated bath products, and coffee makers—all layered with local flair.

Beyond hospitality, Jonathan fosters community well-being.
In 2022, The Neighborhood Hotel pledged 5% of profits to Chicago charities like the 100 Club of Illinois, supporting first responders and families
