Chicago Athletic Association - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

"A recently rehabbed 1890’s landmark building, the CAA has too many incredible food, drink and design details to possibly cover in full detail here. You can (and we have) spend an entire day going from room to room and enjoying the unique experience that each offers. From the old-school game bar complete with shuffle board, pools tables, a bocce ball court made of oyster shells and a cocktail menu from Paul McGee, to the Masonic Order themed upscale dining of The Cherry Circle Room, to the rooftop bar and restaurant with one of the best views in the city, this place is next-level." - IA Collaborative

"A striking reborn hotel on Michigan Avenue, CAA is a favorite among the city’s wedding venues for its gorgeous architecture and numerous spaces that are semi-private or available for a full buyout. These include the historic Cherry Circle Room and the Drawing Room, which also houses a library and “Grand Fireplace.”" - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"The Chicago Athletic Association opened in 1893 and was a private member’s club until 2007. After a heroic renovation, it reopened as a hotel in 2015. It hosts some of downtown’s favorite restaurants and bars, and its design references the building’s sporting history. It is now open to the public, and its recent MICHELIN Guide recognition as a One Key hotel highlights its significance." - Mitchell Friedman

"Across America: The Golden Age of Celebrity. Our French Keys bask in the tradition of ancient vineyards, stone chateaus, and historic palaces. In the United States, we see a different tradition. In Los Angeles, places like Chateau Marmont, the Paramour Estate, Sunset Tower, and the Charlie date back to guests and residents as illustrious as Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. These are spaces that play ingeniously with their history, even as they forge ahead with cutting-edge amenities and experiences. But it’s not just California. New York’s historic artist hotspot, the Hotel Chelsea, once hosted Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol. Today, it decorates every space with art donated by former residents. Look too to the Chicago Athletic Association, a former member’s club for 20th century business magnates and athletes — now among the city’s most impressive and vibrant hotels." - The MICHELIN Guide

"This Venetian Gothic landmark, previously a private club for the city’s (male) movers and shakers, dates back to the final decade of the 19th century. Now, after a renovation by architects Hartshorne Plunkard and an interior redesign by hospitality wizards Roman and Williams, the Chicago Athletic Association is a thoroughly up-to-date boutique hotel." - The MICHELIN Guide
