It doesn’t get more Chicago than this 1893 icon of old-world design and good cheer. Originally home to an elite men’s club, the Chicago Athletic Association hotel building is an architectural gem dating back to 1893. Converted to a boutique hotel and urban playground of the same name in 2015, the property sports 240 guest rooms, seven bars & restaurants, the city's first Topgolf Swing Suite, and a downtown location central to Millennium Park, Lake Michigan, The Loop, and more. The Chicago Athletic Association hotel offers an artfully-restored historic stay along with some of the city’s most-lauded dining and drinking outlets.

From the fine dining and amazing views, this hotel is a 10/10. Their customer service is exquisite. This location is right in the Loop near The Purple Pig, Bennys, Cafecito and close to the several museums. (Also just a short walk from Millennium Station)

Cool old school vibes, right across from Millennium Park. Service was excellent and plenty to do within walking distance. Very unique, great history lesson, not you're typical cookie cutter hotel. Highly suggest.

352aaron2021, Thank you for the lovely review and recommendation. Our building holds so much history that we hope you had the opportunity to see some of the many architectural details that are original. Did you know we are the only hotel that offers Shake Shack through In Room Dining? We hope to welcome you back soon! Best, Kristen P. Front Office Manager

My wife and I stayed for two nights and were greeted by enthusiastic staff who were happy to be back at work since the hotel had been closed since October. We arrived April 1st. This is a terrific location in a historic building that has lots of charm. The room was spacious, clean, and the decor was warm and relaxing. The bathroom was beautiful and had a waterfall shower. However, since this was the first day of reopening, the hot water heaters had not yet been reset so a shower the first evening never got hot and quickly moved to cool side. I notified the front desk and the next morning we had plenty of hot water. Not a complaint, but acknowledging it is challenging to bring a building back online after sitting empty for months.

RovinMoses, We could not be more excited to have reopened our doors and be welcoming back guests. Our building was built back in 1893 and holds so much history - we hope you had a chance to notice the original mosaic tiling on the ground and lobby levels. We appreciate the feedback and are pleased to hear we were able to resolve so quickly. We hope to welcome you back soon! Best, Kristen P. Front Office Manager

We traveled to Chicago for the very first time, and searched around for the perfect hotel - I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the next time we return to Chicago, we will be staying at the Chicago Athletic Hotel. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, from the lobby and common area decor, to the room itself, everything was stunning. The roof-top bar was incredible - though packed (which makes complete sense), but guests have priority access. If you're looking for a convenient place to stay, right next (and with views of) the Bean - look no further than this hotel. I cannot think of a negative thing to say about our experience, and would recommend it to absolutely anyone.

Mr. Dalton, Thank you for such a phenomenal review! We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed everything from the service, to the decor, to Cindy's. We love looking over the Bean from some of our guestrooms and Cindy's too. We cannot wait to welcome you back! Kristen P. Front Office Manager

I stayed here over St. Pattys day weekend and I was beyond impressed with the hotel. The staff is friendly, the rooms are spacious and very clean. They have multiple restaurants on site for you to grab food at (Shake Shack even delivers to your room) as well as an on-site coffee ship. Cindy's Rooftop is here as well and that's a perfect date night spot. The architecture is perfection all over the hotel. The check-in process was very smooth too. I'll for sure stay here again! I can't say enough good thins about this place.
