After two years of restoration, the historic Chicago Athletic Association will reopen as a 241-room luxury hotel May 27.

The restoration of the 1890 building was completed by a partnership between AJ Capital Partners, Geolo Capital, Agman Partners, Commune Hotels & Resorts, Chicago-based Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture and design firm Roman & Williams Buildings and Interiors.

"As a fourth-generation Chicagoan, a devotee of architecture and a student of all things Chicago history, I'm honored and humbled to be part of the Herculean efforts of the builders and craftsmen who came before us to create a building for the ages,” John Pritzker, chairman of Commune Hotels & Resorts and founding partner of Geolo Capital, said in a press release announcing the opening. “We look forward to achieving our vision of breathing new life into the building and reintroducing the powerful spirit of the Chicago Athletic Association to the next generation of Chicagoans and travelers alike.”
