Located off Chicago’s Elston industrial corridor, the 24,000 sqm expansion of Midtown Athletic Club and Hotel transforms what was the largest indoor tennis club in the country to the largest lifestyle center in the country. The club had its “glory days” in the 1970’s and 1980’s, frequented by revered professionals like Andre Agassi and John McEnroe, and fitness was purely an amenity to the tennis. Now, the progressive hybrid Club and Hotel create a destination for the ultimate experience in fitness, entertainment, relaxation and more.

The Club spans 3 levels, featuring multiple programs – from boutique studios such as Yoga, group fitness, multimedia Spinning, Boxing and The Field with rooftop workout areas – to custom amenities such as a signature Restaurant, indoor/outdoor Pools, Mind & Body suite, Spa/ Salon and retail. Facilitating the Club community, a large open “landing pit” at the top of the grand staircase serves as the hub of Midtown where people can meet, work, enjoy entertainment in comfortable seating and with access to the restaurant, outdoor pool and fitness areas. Staying true to the project concept and requirements, relentless attention was paid to the overall unification from master planning to the smallest detail.
