The Edgewater Beach Hotel was a hotel in the far-north munity of Edgewater in Chicago, Illinois.

Built in 1916 it was located between Sheridan Road and the lake at Berwyn Avenue.

The hotel had its own private beach and offered a seaplane service to the Loop.

In its lifetime the hotel played host to many famous guests including Marilyn Monroe and U.S.

Presidents Franklin D.

Roosevelt and Dwight D.

Eisenhower.

The hotel was famous for hosting big bands such as the bands of Tommy Dorsey, Xavier Cugat, and Wayne King, which were also broadcast on the hotels own radio station.

The 1951–54 extension of Lake Shore Drive from Foster Avenue to Bryn Mawr Avenue cut the hotel off from the beach leading to a drop-off in business.

The hotel closed in 1967 and the main buildings were demolished shortly after.

The Edgewater Beach Apartments, built to the north of the hotel in 1927, and once a part of the plex, survives and is a Chicago Landmark and part of the Bryn Mawr Historic District.

The developers also built a sister hotel the Edgewater Gulf Hotel in Biloxi, Mississippi.
