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.

The location was great and convenient to the office. Some rooms have great views of Millennium Park. The rooftop is a must see in case you don’t have the Millenium Park view in your room - stop by Cindy’s for a drink or meal. The hotel hosted a couple events during my stay and the patrons were very friendly. The staff was also very friendly. I would recommend this hotel-especially if you are on a business trip like I was.

I adore this hotel and stay whenever I get a chance. Recent trip did not disappoint. The rooms are well appointed and posh. I love the jersey bathrobe. Everything is sparkling clean. The main lounge/dining room room is delightful for lounging, inviting friends, eating, reading.

A very special place to stay. Great atmosphere - relaxed and friendly, in impressive surroundings. A fabulous view over Millenium Park to the harbour and lake beyond from Cindys, the bar on the roof.

Beware of freezing cold room in september

Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Fantastic location & beautiful facility but only had air conditioning in Sept. --We needed to get a room heater for the hotel room that was 62 degrees and no heat available except a Space heater. And they took out the indoor bocce court in the Game Room and no coffee makers in the room so had to get expensive coffee from downstairs coffee shop while paying alot for daily "resort" amenities fee.
