Originally an elite men's social and sporting club built in 1893, the Chicago Athletic Association hotel (12 S. Michigan Ave.) is a celebrated Venetian-Gothic icon on Chicago's famed Michigan Avenue. Following the original Chicago Athletic Association club's closure in 2007, the building underwent an extensive three-year restoration and opened its doors to all as a lifestyle boutique hotel in 2015 – no membership required. Now, sporting 240 rooms, 7 bars and restaurants (and Chicago's first Topgolf Swing Suite), the Chicago Athletic Association offers the allure of old school charm with modern day revelry and inclusive programming.
