The location is really the best thing about this hotel. It relies on that and the history of its namesake. Otherwise it’s just meh. And very overpriced.

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.

Avoid Cindy
The hotel's interior design is ideal for any get away. I stayed at the Junior Suit facing Millennium Park and the view was splendid. They had about a 32 oz complementary water with various snacks and liquor to purchase. The concierge was very lovely and helpful. I love the diversity of the staff. The one area I wasn't happy with the service was when I went to eat the roof top restaurant, "Cindy." When arriving at the restaurant I was greeted with a, "How can I help you?," I was confused due to the fact that I was coming to a restaurant where the appropriate question would be, "Welcome to Cindy's, did you have reservation or walk-in?". It felt rude and when leaving the restaurant I was going to take the elevator down to my hotel room but was stopped by the hostel and suggested to use the direct elevator to the ground floor. I believe due to the fact that I look young I might have been treated as I was not a guest of the hotel. The experience with the restaurant did not sit will with me or provide an experience to want to return. I did however enjoy the actual hotel and admire the architecture of the building.

Classic older hotel with old world charm. Updates have been with a hat tip towards a long ago charm. Step back in time but without loosing modern conveniences.

Chicago at its best
As a former Chicagoan, I appreciated the entire ambiance of the CAA. Architecturaly stunning. Historically interesting. An overall incredible Chicago vibe. Some of the staff (bartenders & waitstaff) seemed to lack experience but a minor complaint considering the incredible experience during our stay.

Will stay here again!
We stayed the day after Christmas overnight in a compact room with no view but the amenities in the room are great, the bathroom and bed were very comfortable and the hotel itself is beautifully unique and cozy. A lot of Bear's fans were staying here which made the atmosphere in the game room bar fun.

Amazing Chicago hotel
CAA was a great place to stay. We did a one night staycation and it was in a great location to feel like a tourist and enjoy chicagos sights and restaurants. The old school feel was great and was clean and modern at the same time. Easy access to Cindy’s was also a perk.

Front desk and Lobby bar employees were all heads down on their phones when we approached. Did not greet us for about 15 seconds while we stood at desk or bar. Worst I’ve ever seen.

This place was incredible. Location was amazing. Staff were professional and helpful. There's so much to do in the hotel, as well as within 1 mile of it, you'll have no chance to do it all in one week. The atmosphere in the hotel is luxurious without feeling luxurious. The restaurants served delicious food. It was just a wonderful experience all around. Beds and pillows were great too.
