The Chicago Athletic Club is a gorgeous historic building that recently reopened as a hotel. However, I'll note that this property is being operated by the son of the Hyatt founder and his new investment group, so it does have a fairly big name behind it. This is definitely a high profile project and I'm glad to see it appearing on HOTWIRE as I'm interested to see how this building was renovated/repurposed.

Post script:  contrary to the amenities listed on Hotwire, this hotel does not have a pool, indoor or outdoor - and has no plans to add one.  I'll be complaining to Hotwire.

Thanks for the follow-up. I'd definitely let Hot.wire know - please keep us updated on their response.

 

Hope you had an otherwise enjoyable stay.
