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

Great hotel on Michigan Avenue

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 days ago

We really enjoyed interacting with the front desk staff and our room was very spacious and accommodating. But the issue with only having 1/2 a shower glass enclosure was very disappointing. I hope to come back to Chicago and stay with you all again.

Great stay!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

What a remarkable and unique hotel!! The unique architecture and old time athletic esthetic/design was meticulously carried out throughout the whole hotel. We loved the rooftop bar and the location of the hotel was so convenient to all the sights. The staff was always o friendly and made us feel so welcome and valued. We would definitely stay here again!

Great Experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

This is an amazing & unique hotel. They have preserved the old athletic club and embraced it throughout. There is even have an old old Speak-Easy door that leads to a bar. The bar just closed..hopefully the remodel doesn't compromise what makes this place special.
