Club Quarters (Clark Adams Building)

A practical, well-priced base in a vintage Loop building — made
for travelers who'd rather spend on the city than the room.

Why this building matters

The hotel occupies the Bankers Building (also known as the Clark Adams Building), a 41-story, 476-foot Art Deco tower completed in 1927 and designed by the Burnham Brothers — the firm led by Hubert Burnham and Daniel Burnham Jr., sons of Daniel Burnham of the celebrated Plan of Chicago . The same firm gave the city the landmark Carbide & Carbon Building. Adapted for reuse as a hotel, the tower stands on Adams Street beside the 1888 Rookery, in the dense, canyon-like stretch of the Loop where the modern skyscraper was born — a short walk from Willis Tower, the Board of Trade, Symphony Center, and the Art Institute. Preservation Chicago has been advocating for the Bankers Building’s designation as a Chicago Landmark — an important step toward securing its long-term restoration and reuse.

What guests are saying

What guests love

  • A genuinely central Loop location — steps from the Rookery, the Board of Trade, and the LaSalle Street financial canyon, with the L and Metra close by.
  • Straightforward, comfortable rooms at a sensible price, with the Elephant & Castle British pub downstairs for room service and a pint.
  • Walkable to Symphony Center, Willis Tower and its Skydeck, the Riverwalk, and Millennium Park.

What to keep in mind

  • Rooms are efficient — comfortable but compact
  • The Financial District is quieter on weekends

Best for Business travelers and sightseers who want a no-fuss, well-located base in the heart of the Loop — close to the landmark architecture and an easy walk to the lakefront museums.
