Sara United States of America

Location and the architecture of the building were awesome!

Lori United States of America

Awesome location. Great hotel with a wonderful bar that is on the top floor. It allows you to go outside and see Chicago.

Timothy United States of America

Standard room, the only thing I disliked was the rooms felt very dark.

Alexandra United States of America

There was a great view of the Millennium Park, especially from the rooftop restaurant. There were many options with in the hotel to eat at and plenty of close by options as well. The room was the perfect size and even had a heated type of mattress pad. Bonus that I did not expect was a mini fridge!

Allyson United States of America

Location is perfect to walk to all the major “must do” activities. Staff are the absolute nicest I’ve ever encountered. Cool vibe throughout the property.

Ann United States of America

- Loved the location - Staff was amazing - Cindy’s rooftop was super cool - The game room was awesome

Jonathan Dominican Republic

Absolutely breathtaking interior. So thrilled they restored and opened the doors for the public to enjoy such a landmark architectural wonder of Chicago. Each space is like walking through history, so magically restored. I loved the history lesson in the lobby. Would stay again in a hearbeat.

Deborah United States of America

The hotel is truly incredibly beautiful. The detailing was so gorgeous and we loved eating on the rooftop (where we also had excellent service and food).

Josie United States of America

As long as the pricing is reasonable I'd stay at The Chicago Athletic Association upon every visit to Chicago.
