Fantastic historic space with a fun, youthful vibe. The lobby and game room were packed, and people were having so much fun!

Booked the Founder’s room. The fridge did not work. There were less windows/ no tub which is misleading from the listing. It’s a gorgeous space with some luxe details but misses

So uncomfortable
Although the Chicago Athletic Association is a charming hotel with various amenities, our stay was uncomfortable. The rooms are cramped and difficult to get around with two people. The temperature was hot and guests don't have the ability to adjust the temperature in the rooms. Sleeping was uncomfortable both nights because of the temperature situation. I asked for a fan the second night but still wasn't helpful. The fridge in the room didn't work so getting drinks cold was out of the question. I don't see myself staying here in the future.

Noisy
Overall a great place to stay that’s well located. There was construction work happening that was incredibly loud and began before 8 am in the morning. I struggled to have virtual meetings in my room due to the noise. I wasn’t given advance notice of this by the hotel.

This building is a beautiful piece of history. Multiple restaurants on the foot print along with great customer service as well. The only issue was the heat being turned on and unable to be shut off. There's unfortunately dated heating systems used to warm the entire building. Without an ability to control the temperature in your room it can become uncomfortable very fast.

Girls Getaway: Chicago Edition
The location was steps from the Bean and the Art Institute of Chicago, and a short bus ride to the Field Museum, aquarium and planetarium. The service was top notch, from Osay in the lobby to Angie in housekeeping to Philippe in In-Room Dining. Staff always had a smile on their face. There was a range of in-room dining options to pick from and all were delicious. Highly recommend the Home Plate or Belgian waffles for breakfast. And don’t forget their French press coffee!! The gym was clean with multiple machines and weight training areas. We didn’t check out any other area at the gym. Cindy’s Rooftop is beautiful and worth a visit. We only did drinks and dessert. There are non-alcoholic options that were tasty. The porcini cheesecake topped with goat cheese ice cream was out of this world good. And yes, there are candied porcini mushrooms on top. We stayed in the Junior Suite which was spacious for the two of us. The double beds were comfy. The seating area was inviting so we spent a lot of time there. The bathroom was pretty. Loved the floor tiles. The things that we didn’t like: Mini fridge stocked with drinks didn’t fit leftovers. No ice bucket/machine or silverware - have to call in room dining The room was always too warm regardless of thermostat. They brought us a fan. Not enough hooks or shelving in bathroom to hang towels/clothes or put toiletries. No shower curtain so water got everywhere when we showered. Looking forward to coming back soon!

CAC is great but Don't eat at Cherry Circle Room!
The atmosphere was beautiful, the rooms clean and comfortable and the service very good. The valet went out of his way to assist us when we arrived from out of town and was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The only downside to our experience was we chose to eat at The Cherry Circle Room. While this restaurant is inside the hotel it is NOT affiliated with the hotel. The service was beyond horrible, the food ordinary to bad and the menu overpriced even by Chicago standards. 2 of our entrees arrived 15 minutes before the other 2 entrees. The waiter was rude and inattentive and seemed angry that this was a problem. When the delayed entrees arrived one was nearly raw (it was fish). The waiter was nowhere to be found. When he finally appeared he was again put off and angry. In the end when we asked for the bill he slammed it on the table without a word and stormed off. In closing The Chicago Athletic Club was wonderful. The Cherry Circle Room was appalling.
