Club Expansion Details: Hotel, Ice Skating Rink & More
Apr 17, 2017
Summer is just around the corner, and so is the unveiling of our epic club expansion. We're happy to inform you that we remain on track to open in late July 2017. When complete, Midtown Athletic Club and The Hotel at Midtown will be the largest premier health-and-fitness club in the U.S. at 575,000 square feet! We are excited to share details about the following:
Tennis Courts
In August, we will rebuild courts 3 and 4 and resurface the remaining 13 courts. As always, we remain dedicated to providing the finest indoor tennis courts and playing conditions available anywhere in the world.
New Sports to Play at Midtown: Basketball, Squash & Golf
Beginning in July when the club opens, 2 PGA Tour golf simulators will be added to our fitness space. In the fall, we will add a full-sized NBA basketball court and 3 squash courts. Drop-in play, instructional, competitive, and social programs for adults and children will be offered.
The Hotel at Midtown
The 55-room boutique hotel will have four private suites, including The V Suite designed by tennis star Venus Williams. The hotel will also have a state-of-the-art executive conference room, two meeting rooms, and a private rooftop deck offering a spectacular view of the Chicago skyline. The hotel will serve "active travelers" who desire comfortable accommodations with great fitness and tennis amenities.
Ice Skating Rink
Swim outdoors in the summer; ice skate in the winter! During the cold winter months, we're transforming our outdoor pool into a skating rink. As we get closer to winter, we'll share more exciting details about this unique amenity.
Parking Garage Information
We recognize the deficiencies of the current garage gate barcode reader. We are currently working to improve our gate entry and exit systems by replacing the current barcode scanners with an easy-to-use chip reader. We apologize that the current system has not met expectations.
We have finalized our plans regarding future garage parking fees. Effective August 1, member parking fees will be as follows:
First 3 hours: complimentary
3-7 hours: $4 per hour
7+ hours: $24 daily fee (no overnight parking)
