Design Travel With Margot Guralnick
Cue the cigar smoke and the gold watch chains. Master set designers Roman and Williams have recast the grand Chicago Athletic Association on Michigan Avenue—right across from Millennium Park—as a playfully posh hotel, Venetian-gothic details intact. Look no further for the perfect place to hole up on Halloween weekend.
Photography via the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel, except where noted.
Above: Once a gathering spot for Wrigleys, Fields, and Spaldings, the 1890s building was designed by Henry Ives Cobb. Shuttered in recent years, it came close to having all but its facade demolished. Owners Commune Hotels & Resorts hired Chicago firm Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture to oversee the restoration, and Roman and Williams to inject the rooms with new life. Shown here, the pleasingly time-warped drawing room.

Above: The structure was built during the city's renaissance years spurred by the Columbian Exposition of 1893. The club only allowed women on Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons until 1972, and was closed in 1997, but left largely intact. Photograph by Nick Fochtman via Chicago Curbed.

Above: Monogrammed knobs on a lacquered wardrobe in a guest room.
Above: The 241 rooms have custom metal bed frames and Faribault Woolen Mill blankets woven with the quote: "I miss everything about Chicago except January and February."
Above: Referencing old-school gym equipment, Roman and Williams designed desks inspired by wooden stretching racks and pommel-horse-shaped benches. Here and there they also inserted cheeky paintings. "A touch of disorder within the order keeps a space fresh," say the designers. (Go to 10 Favorites: Vintage Gym Equipment as Decor for more.) "
Above L: The racks are cleverly hung with leather storage pouches. Above R: A preserved floor monogram incorporates a fencer's foil.
Above: Bathrooms have Carrara marble and nickel vanities and classic black-and-white porcelain tiles with dark grout. Guest robes are boxing-robe-inspired. Photograph by Nick Fochtman via Chicago Curbed.
Above: The top-floor restaurant, Cindy's, is in a new greenhouse-like addition, modeled after the botanical garden glass houses of the 19th century. "The space is a romantic notion of what might have been on this site before the wave of development swept the fields by the lake," say Roman and Williams.
Above: The newly restored Venetian-gothic building rises for 13 stories. It's located at 12 S. Michigan Avenue overlooking Millennium Park. Go to the Chicago Athletic Association Hotel for full details.
For another Roman and Williams design in a dramatic historic building, take a look at New York's High Line Hotel in Chelsea. Heading to Chicago? Peruse our city guide for more finds.

Dining Rooms With Alexa Hotz
Lessons in moodiness from a dining room in Lyon, France, designed by Stéphane Garotin and Pierre Emmanuel Martin, the couple behind Maison Hand. The somber yet elegant Saint George apartment is outfitted with modernist furniture and an austere palette: a Maison Hand trademark. Here we look at the individual components of the dining room—the furniture, wall decor, and accessories—and offer our ideas on adding a certain modern French goth look to your own interiors.
Above: Rush seats, a grouping of pottery, and white-painted beams are the only nonblack moments in the dining room.
Above: A wall of tonal, macabre artwork and taxidermy.
Above: We like the way Maison Hand deftly contrast pale artwork and ceramics against a blacked-out wall.
The Basics
Above: Farrow & Ball's Pitch Black is a similar match to the wall's matte black color. A gallon of the estate emulsion Pitch Black paint is $97. Another trusted black paint is Benjamin Moore's Black Horizon; a gallon is $37.99.
Above: The Serge Mouille Two-Arm Ceiling Lamp in black lacquered aluminum is $3,250 at Horne.
Above: Crate & Barrel's Facet Sideboard is black-stained with a low-sheen finish; $699.
Above: Restoration Hardware's Seagram Rectangular Dining Table is designed by Søren Rose in black oak; $3,495 for the 96-inch table (stay tuned for tomorrow's 10 Easy Pieces: Distressed Furniture in Black for more options).
Above: A similar chair with a paper cord seat is Hans Wegner's Wishbone Chair with a black lacquered frame; $599 at Design Within Reach.
Above: The Hand-Braided Jute Rug in dark charcoal is $1,395 for the 9-by-12-foot size at Restoration Hardware.
Wall Decor
