About the Hotel

With echoes of billiard balls, poker chips, and clinking glasses frozen within its walls, this 1890’s Venetian Gothic landmark in the Chicago Loop springs back to life as an incomparable historic downtown Chicago hotel—where the spirit of play reigns supreme. After all, this is the city where the can-and-will-do attitude of Ernie “Let’s Play Two!” Banks lives on, where the father of Chicago blues, Muddy Waters, shook all night long at the Checkerboard Lounge, and Sir Duke tickled the ivories at The Blue Note. And this is the club whose historic members swam with five-time Olympic gold medalist Johnny Weissmuller—a.k.a. the original Hollywood Tarzan—and watched their fellow member Pudge Heffelfinger own so much end zone, he became football’s first pro. Today, Chicago Athletic Association is both a stunning hotel offering outstanding guest rooms and a historic monument to the big-shouldered, switch hitting spirit that defines our city with a downtown location in the Chicago Loop.

Reviews for Chicago Athletic Association Hotel

Nice but untrustworthy staff!

Great location and beautiful hotel. Sadly I will not return. First they charged me ~$130 for some honor bar drinks. I don't drink and it was untouched when I checked out. That is a lot of alcohol. Oddly these never showed up on my bill right away. It was like they tried to sneak it in days later. If alcohol is missing from the bar, it's their staff that is stealing it. Or the 3rd party they use (they claim they use a 3rd party that manages the honor bar), is committing fraud. Also, I had a 50% off coupon from a really nice restaurant that I was looking forward to using. That mysteriously was missing from my desk. I did try and call, but they seemed disinterested in addressing it.

Hotel room was loud at night, went to dinner at cyndies not sure why the hype. Place was 1/2 empty and they acted like getting a table would be hard. Sat down and the place became less busy the 1.5 hours we were there?? Food was expensive for the quality. Hotel was located in a great spot other than that not much to say. Beware we were charged for taking from the mini bar- neither of us took anything, complained and they said sorry that happens sometimes- shockingly (not really) never got our credit. Must be hard up for an extra $15

Fabulous hotel and wonderful location. Everyone employed there were friendly and helpful. A very welcoming hotel with great amenities. Beautiful lobby/drawing room. Fireplaces, cozy furniture. This beautiful area is used for dining and cocktails and it's wonderful. Be sure to book a room that faces Millennium Park. The room was spotless, the very comfortable and lovely bathroom with a huge shower. Loved it!

A really good stay in downtown Chicago. It’s tricky to get adapted inside the hotel with elevators, but the staff is very helpful. We would stay there again.
