Commune Hits Home Run With Chicago Athletic Association Hotel.

Chicago Athletic Association Hotel. The courts are polished. The trophy cases dusted off. But it’s more than a simple restoration—it’s a revelation. Inspired by the nineteenth century train sheds that were neighbors, Commune Hotels & Resorts has built a terrace in the sky overlooking Millennium Park and the greatest of the Great Lakes and a Game Room designed to amaze and amuse. The two-year Chicago Athletic Association restoration project is the result of a partnership between AJ Capital Partners, Geolo Capital, Agman Partners, Commune Hotels & Resorts, Chicago-based Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, and design firm Roman and Williams Buildings and Interiors.

The sophisticated, extra thin E Series pedestal chassis also complements the look of flat screen TVs in the guest room.
