Is Chicago Athletic Association Hotel worth it for a romantic trip?

DependsFor couples in love

For romance, Chicago Athletic Association Hotel is hit or miss.

Gorgeous Venetian-Gothic public spaces, a buzzy game room and rooftop bar with park views, and a strong sense of place. The rooms are nice but the lobby scene is the real star.
