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
Perfect hotel for Chicago stay
Great hotel with a neat old Chicago feel! Love the uniqueness of the rooms! Very clean and comfortable. The rooftop bar is great with an incredible view and well worth going to for at least drinks! Highly recommend this hotel…. Especially for a special occasion!

Beautiful historic venue in a great Chicago location.
Beautiful historic venue in a great location. Gret views of Chicago's Lakefront. Easy walk to Art Institute, Millennium Parks, and the Lakefront. Highly recommended. Excellent food with outstanding service. The hotel staff was so friendly and helpful.

Very social hotel in great location in downtown chicago.
One night stay so we could experience downtown Chicago. Rooms are very boutique. Had two connecting rooms for family, wish I could've gotten us upgraded to a suite for some more space. Hotel & Rooms are very dark, both in coloring and amount of light. Restaurant on the roof is amazing, and breakfast was pretty good. Activities space in the lobby area is great, but very busy. Probably not the most kid friendly hotel in downtown but entertaining.

Beautiful heritage building and excellent location
Excellent location; tastefully done room interiors match the magnificent heritage building inside and out. Very comfortable beds; excellent service. Part of Hyatt chain but this is kept discrete and it definitely doesn't feel like a massive, boring chain hotel.

Great Hotel for the Marathon.
Terrific and convenient location for the Chicago Marathon. The staff was welcoming and helpful with every request in a cheerful and sincere manner. The beds were comfortable and there were extra blankets on the bed in case it got cold. The location is terrific and convenient walk to Millennium and Grant Park. We stayed there for the marathon and it was a great location for both the start and finish.
