Old world charm
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.

The stay was not good at all so I cut my trip short and went home. However, staff were very understanding and kind and reassured that I would get refunded.

We will be back asap.
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.

Fantastic location, directly across from Millennium Park with plenty of dining options nearby. Check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. However, the room was very dark, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was quite dark, with its dark wood paneling and low lighting. It had a bit of a speakeasy vibe.
