Finding a hotel gym in Chicago is easy. Finding one worth using takes more work. This list focuses on five properties where the fitness facility is a genuine feature, not a converted storage room with two treadmills. Hotels rank by gym quality and size first, then star rating.
How we ranked hotels with gyms in Chicago
