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.

The gameroom was so much fun! Rooms were stunning and so comfortable. Fantastic location. Would have preferred being able to adjust the temperature in the room from a/c to heat ourselves rather than that being dictated by the hotel. We arrived after a cold day and it was warm in our room, but because the system was on heat we couldn't cool down the room enough to our liking even with the windows open and a fan.

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.

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.

I was upset that the elevators were not working and it took a long to get to my room and the lobby. I would have appreciated communication about this ahead of time and would have switched hotels. Apparently it had been an issue for at least two weeks. The staff were amazing. The rooms were dark and small.
