Property Description
Chicago Athletic Association is an historic 1890s monument to the competitive spirit now transformed into an ultra-luxe Chicago boutique hotel with commanding views across Millennium Park to Lake Michigan. This long-vacant Venetian Gothic landmark springs back to life as a club-like mecca for inspired recreation where the spirit of play reigns supreme fueled by locally sourced luminaries from Chicago's top-flight social and culinary destinations. Its personal here, because the spirit of Chicago is a kind of club and on our team, everyone belongs. This is the club whose members swam with five-time Olympic gold medalist Johnny Weissmuller and watched Pudge Heffelfinger own so much end zone, he became footballs first pro. The courts are polished. The trophy cases dusted off. Everything here is renewed, thanks in no small part to the Herculean efforts of the builders and craftsmen who have helped us realize our vision. Our reverence for this monumental building cannot be overstated, but we want to breathe a new life into it, to care for it without treating it like a relic. That's the intent of the dynamic design duo Roman and Williams winners of the 2014 Cooper Hewitt National Design Award who are building a legacy of creating extraordinary presents with historic pasts that are more than restorations, but rather reinventions. Architect Henry Ives Cobb a charter member of The Association imbued this magical place with a Gothic fade reminiscent of the Doges Palace in Venice. Revitalized interiors once again reveal an extraordinary level of detail in the tiled floors, millwork, chandeliers, grand staircases, palatial rooms and soaring ceilings. Today, The Associations socially robust, sports-driven past lives on amid restaurants, lounges and ballrooms where a high-spirited, club-like atmosphere prevails, seamlessly melding into shared histories, past and future.

Chicago Athletic Association Hotel has a unique identity. Clean, good service, and breakfast tastes okay and quiet.

This is the hotel that fascinates me the most. The sense of history in the lobby makes me reluctant to leave.

The hotel is in a good location, well decorated, with a nice bar and restaurant. There is no coffee and kettle, and the service is very average, which is a bit disappointing for such a historic building.

The location is fantastic and the staff that we encountered was very good. That being said, our room was extremely small. It also appears that the Hotel caters to private parties. Each of the public areas (restaurants) were hosting private events during our stay. This caused one of the venues to be closed and in the other areas it impacted availability of seating and a huge impact on staff. At one restaurant/bar, we left after 30 minutes because of no staff availability.

Fantastic location across from Millenium Park. Excellent lounge space for working. Good food, service and rooms. Highly recommended, especially if you appreciate old Chicago classic buildings like the one they renovated for this hotel.

Beautiful historic building in an amazing location. We were in town for a concert at Soldier Field - it was an easy 20 minute walk from the hotel. Loved being right across from Millennium Park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
