it was great being able to drop off our luggage after our NCL cruise so we could go see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. We would definitely use Stasher again.

Real and recent reviews from happy travelers
October 2025 in London
Very handy. Not cheap if you’re a family with several carryon bags, but much easier than lugging them around. We’ll use again.
October 2025 in Norwich
Nice staff, close to station. The hotel could get quite busy so need to prepare extra time to drop/ collect luggage.
October 2025 in London
They were polite and accepted even I got a few minutes late. They store it in the storage room, right behind the reception desk behind a door.

Was really easy to use. It found a location that was close to me and let me pick my drop off and pick up time.

I find Stasher and its possibilities to store the luggage very well. I used it in Amsterdam and was very very impressed that it worked so very well.

I was also signed up to a different luggage storage app, but it didn't have a location that worked for me on the day we used Stasher.

Luggage Storage and Lockers in Chicago, Stasher's 2025 Guide
Luggage Storage Near Me in Chicago, with Stasher
Chicago is the kind of city where you can pack a lot into a little time. Whether you’re here for a long layover, a weekend escape, or a full week of deep-dish pizza and skyline views, one thing’s for sure: this is not a city for carrying your bags around.With Stasher luggage storage available across Chicago, including near Union Station, Millennium Station, O’Hare and Midway airports, and popular areas like the Loop and Museum Campus, you can store your luggage and see the Windy City with both hands (and shoulders) free.
Exploring Chicago Bag-Free
⏱️ If You Have 4 Hours in Chicago
Just enough time to get a snapshot of the city – minus the suitcase.
Head to Millennium Park to see The Bean (aka Cloud Gate), enjoy the gardens, or catch live music at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion.
Pop into the Art Institute of Chicago right next door – you can easily get lost in its world-class collection for an hour or two.
If you’re arriving by train at Chicago Union Station or Millennium Station, drop your luggage at a nearby Stasher location and head straight into the action.
This mini-itinerary is all in the Chicago Loop area, so it’s easy, walkable, and luggage will only slow you down.
🕗 If You Have 8 Hours in Chicago
Now you’ve got time to go beyond the basics.
Start with coffee and views from the Willis Tower Skydeck (early arrival means shorter queues).
Then head north for a stroll through Lincoln Park or visit the free Lincoln Park Zoo.
Return downtown for lunch near the Riverwalk or in West Loop, and if you’ve still got energy, do an architecture boat tour – it’s iconic for a reason.
Dragging luggage across bridges, on public transport, or into museums? Not ideal. Store it near Union Station, the Loop, or wherever you’re connecting to next.
📅 If You Have 1 Day in Chicago
A full day opens up the best of the city – food, culture, and those skyline views.
Morning: Start in the Loop with Millennium Park, then visit the Art Institute or take a walk down State Street past the historic Chicago Theatre.
Afternoon: Head south to Museum Campus to visit the Field Museum or Shedd Aquarium – or catch a Chicago Bears game at Soldier Field if the timing’s right.
Evening: Grab dinner near McCormick Place or venture to the West Loop for something trendier. Nightcap at a rooftop bar with views over the lake.
If you’re arriving from O’Hare, Midway, or switching hotels (hello, Hilton Chicago), Stasher lets you store your bags so you can focus on enjoying the day – not babysitting your suitcase.
📆 If You Have 1 Week in Chicago
Now you’ve got time to settle in and see the city like a local.
Catch a game at Wrigley Field (Cubs) or Soldier Field (Bears), explore Chinatown, or try kayaking on the Chicago River.
Spend a day browsing the shops and museums along Michigan Avenue or relax by the lakefront trails.
Take a day trip to Oak Park (Frank Lloyd Wright territory) or the Indiana Dunes.
Here for a conference or convention? If you're attending something at McCormick Place, you'll be glad you can store bags nearby and explore between sessions.
With luggage storage across key transit points and neighbourhoods, Stasher helps you keep things flexible all week long.
Explore Chicago at Your Own Pace – Without the Baggage
From skyline selfies to museum afternoons and riverside strolls, Chicago is best enjoyed without your bags tagging along. Whether you’re killing time before your flight from O’Hare, heading to a Cubs game, or arriving early for check-in at Hilton Chicago, Stasher has you covered.
Book your storage in seconds, drop your bags securely, and make every hour in Chicago count.

Help! My Stashpoint is closed. What do I do now?
In that case, contact us at +44-20-3355-3544. We'll either liaise with the host for expedited opening, arrange nearby storage, or, if impossible, offer a refund for the inconvenience and potentially assist with necessary travel adjustments. For flights, prioritize not missing them as shipping bags is often cheaper than rebooking; always keep crucial travel documents with you. Note the Stashpoint's operating hours carefully; we may be limited in assistance for late arrivals, but will always strive to help.
Can I get a refund?
We know plans change so any booking can be cancelled up until the drop off window begins. To cancel your booking please log into your account, and under ‘My Bookings’ find the booking you’d like cancelled and refunded. We cannot refund bookings after the drop off time has elapsed unless in special circumstances, e.g. a delayed flight, or if you made a booking in error and have placed a new booking. In this case, please email [email protected] with documentation (e.g. screenshot of flight delay or new booking ID) and we will see what we can do.
Can I extend my booking / add more bags?
Certainly! We can’t do this for you as we do not store card details, so place another booking for the extra days/ bags and email us at [email protected] with your original and new booking IDs. We will then update the host of the extension / addition!
What payment methods do you accept?
Stasher accepts all major credit and debit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, and American Express, as well as payments through Apple Pay and Google Pay. All payments are secure and processed quickly.
How do I retrieve my luggage once I’ve stored it?
When you return to collect your luggage, simply present your Booking ID along with either the counterpart tag or a photo of your luggage. The host will then retrieve your bag from the secure storage area. We appreciate feedback, so if you had a good experience, please consider leaving us a review. It helps us monitor and support our hosts.
What happens if I don’t pick up my luggage on time?
No worries! We understand that plans change. The drop-off and pick-up times are just estimates. As long as your booking is within the duration you’ve paid for and the StashPoint is open, you won’t encounter any issues. If you arrive after the location has closed, please contact our support team. If you're unable to collect your luggage the next day, we can arrange shipping for you and provide the associated costs and options.
What is Stasher’s cancellation policy?
You can cancel your booking anytime before the scheduled drop-off time through your Stasher account under 'Bookings.' You’ll have two options: a 50% refund or 100% coupon for future bookings. If the drop-off time has already passed, refunds aren’t guaranteed, but you can still email [email protected], and our team will review your request.
Can I store valuable items (e.g., electronics, documents)?
Every bag booked through Stasher is covered by a guarantee of up to $1,300 against theft or damage while stored at our StashPoints. While we prioritize the safety of your luggage, we strongly advise against storing essential travel documents, keys, or valuable electronics such as phones. Please note that only bags booked directly through Stasher are covered by our guarantee. Paying cash directly to the StashPoint violates our terms and conditions, and we will not be able to cover such bookings. Additionally, our T&Cs prohibit the storage of certain items, including cash and securities.
Do I need to bring identification to store my luggage?
Yes, you’ll need to bring your proof of booking (a digital copy on your phone is fine), along with a valid photo ID to show the host, and, of course, your bags! Please follow the same process when returning to collect your luggage.
Can someone else pick up my luggage for me?
If someone else needs to pick up or drop off your luggage, please email [email protected] in advance so we can update the host. The new person will also need to present the booking confirmation number and a valid ID.
Can I pay in store?
No, all bookings must be made online through our website or app for security and guarantee purposes. The process is quick and mobile-friendly, taking just a minute to complete. Cash payments in-store are not accepted, and bookings made outside our platform are not covered by our guarantee.
What sort of items can I store with Stasher?
Our primary focus is on storing suitcases, but we can also accommodate bikes, sports equipment, and strollers. If you have a specific request, feel free to email us, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs!.
