We love staying at this hotel! There is always so much to do there and perfect during the winter months with the cozy fireplaces, game room and out door fire pits on Cindy’s roof top.

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.

Very cool place. Unlike any hotel you have ever stayed in. Funky and Elegant all at the same time. The rooms could use another mirror in them.

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.
