Chicago Athletic Association Hotel

As the kids say, “no notes.” We ate at three of the restaurants and toured the historic building too. Calling this place a hotel is a disservice, it really is a resort.

Perfecto location just in front of Millenium park. The drawing room and game room were my favorite and the view from the rooftop bar was breathtaking at every hour of the day and night. The ambience was so authentic Chicago feel and it took me back in time. My mother and I were able to use the Athletic Association as home base throughout the day and could pop in to eat or cool off between excursions. All the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. I was offered more water on this trip than in my whole life combined! This was such a simple sign of hospitality and provided for such a genuine welcome feel. It felt like a home.

Great hotel for history buffs. Great location during the summertime. There is a hotel tour which I would highly recommendS Considered a luxury hotel. But because of the L shaped configuration of the building with the front of the hotel being in the middle of a street block, windows of rooms may be facing the backside or a side of an adjacent buildings. Rooms can be tiny. But great in-room coffee service (local brand - i think Passion coffee). Great mini bat selection. Front desk and housekeeping are very attentive and more than makes up for the limitations of the building. I am on the fence if I want to return - will do if I plan accordingly and be willing to pay the price for one of the much larger rooms with walk in shower. No more rooms with tubs for me.

Incredible experience! Clean rooms! Fantastic Service! WOW, the bathrooms and rooms were wonderful!!!! BEST value and BEST location! (Remember, the hotel lobby is on the 2nd floor) LOVE

Brought my mom here for our girls trip. Price is high, their mandatory 75.00 a night is high, there is no security so people just walk in and out and have access to all floors, even thought supposedly it’s just the main floors. Felt very uncomfortable on Saturday night. This was the loudest room I have ever stayed in and I lived on the 6th floor near Clark and lake with the red line right there. We had a sound machine and earplugs. The housekeeper was still in our room at 4:30 when we were trying to get ready for dinner. I asked for some assistance on Saturday about the noise and was told they are sold out so they can’t do anything.. at 8 in the morning! They could have moved us. Also promised Hyatt points and never got them. The food is expensive and not great in the drawing room. Drinks were fun up in Cindy’s. Don’t forget all bills have a 4% charge they try to make sure you don’t ask for it to be taken off by not coming back when you get your bill. Not a fan of having to share elevators with employees, most were rude and just made the experience uncomfortable.
