The 11-room bed and breakfast is the first classic inn of its kind in the area -- housed within the [Historic Methodist Publishing House](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-architecture-studio-1) that was originally built in 1909. The space features an intimate design that was completely renovated and filled with [hand-picked vintage furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-longfellow-hotel) and local flea market findings. The high ceilings, refinished wood flooring and exposed brick offers a mid-century feel that is both comfortable and stylish. Each guest room is individually furnished and inspired by [notable Chicago authors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-unwritten), creating a one-of-a-kind stay for travelers. The Publishing House Inn is a unique travel option that provides guests with a traditional vacation and home-cooked meals to create an aesthetic that is warm and modern. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Boutique Inns:** The rise of boutique inns provides an opportunity for travelers to experience unique and personalized accommodations. - **Vintage Design:** The popularity of vintage design in the hospitality industry offers opportunities for businesses to create a nostalgic and unique atmosphere. - **Author-themed Experiences:** The trend of author-themed accommodations allows travelers to immerse themselves in the literary culture of a destination. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can harness the appeal of boutique inns to offer customers a more personalized and unique travel experience. - **Furniture:** The demand for vintage furniture in the hospitality industry presents an opportunity for businesses in the furniture sector to cater to this niche market. - **Travel and Tourism:** The growth of author-themed accommodations adds a new layer of experiential tourism, allowing travelers to engage with the literary history of a destination. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tranquil Old-Charm Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/somewhere-inn.md) - [Boutique Wellness Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ayrshire-house.md) - [Rustic Cottage-Core Staycations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dairy.md) - [Traditional Southern-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-de-la-luz.md) - [Thriller Novel Hotel Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tempo-by-hilton-times-square.md) - [Modern Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-postmark-hotel.md) - [Quiet Book-Inspired Getaways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reading-retreat-package.md) - [Sustainable Heritage Evoked Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pilgrm-hotel.md) - [Bloor-Yorkville Boutique Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kimpton-saint-george.md)
