Highlights
Located on Chicago’s famed Michigan Avenue across from iconic Millennium Park in the Loop District, the Chicago Athletic Association hotel combines its storied legacy as one of the nation’s most revered social clubs with modern day sophistication. The historic building’s transformation into a 240-room boutique hotel, is the result of a visionary partnership between the former hotel management company, AJ Capital Partners, Geolo Capital, Agman Partners, Chicago-based Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, and award-winning design firm Roman and Williams Building and Interiors. The hotel, now managed by Hyatt Hotels Corporation, offers sweeping views of Lake Michigan, elegantly-appointed guest rooms and uniquely-designed suites, with multiple innovative culinary experiences. The seven food and beverage outlets include Cindy's, a rooftop restaurant and bar, restaurant concepts by Chicago-based Land & Sea Dept., Shake Shack, and Fairground Coffee & Tea. Old-school charm meets modern-day revelry at this urban playground, you in ?

Dining
Cindy's
Cindy’s is our rooftop restaurant, bar and open-air terrace overlooking Millennium Park, the Art Institute of Chicago, Lake Michigan and beyond. Set within a vaulted glass and steel rooftop atrium recalling the train depot that once lived across Michigan Avenue, Cindy’s is the jewel in this Chicago landmark’s crown. With seasonal freshness reflected in both food and drink, this downtown Chicago rooftop restaurant dons the relaxed ambiance of a Great Lakes beach house with one heckuva view. Executive Chef Christian Ragano, veteran of local favorite NoMi and creator of Glencoe’s much loved Guildhall, joins forces with renowned Spirit Guide Nandini Khaund to bring classic comfort and culinary invention together over cocktails and deceptively sinful punches. Private restaurant dining is available.MONDAY – FRIDAY Lunch 11:00 am – 2:30 pm 4:00 pm – 2:00 amSATURDAY Brunch 10:00 am – 2:30 pm 4:00 pm – 3:00 amSUNDAY Brunch 10:00 am – 2:30 pm 4:00 pm – 12:00 am
