DETAILS:

This private club was founded in 1907 as the Attic Club and renamed the Cliff Dwellers in 1909. It moved to the 22nd floor of 200 South Michigan in 1996, sporting some of the best views in the Loop, after inhabiting the top floor of neighboring Orchestra Hall for decades. It remains a private club and nonprofit organization for men and women who support the fine and performing arts. The club is a haven for artists, authors, musicians, painters, architects, and sculptors. Notable members have included Louis Sullivan, Daniel Burnham, Lorado Taft, and Hamlin Garland.

VISITOR EXPERIENCE:

Guests may take a self-guided tour of the club space and terrace. Once inside you can enjoy a cocktail and speak to members about the benefits of becoming a club member.
