Hotel Allegro Chicago - A Kimpton Hotel

All the hotel (entrance, lobby, corridors, rooms...) is super fashon.
The room was clean and cosy however the bathroom was a bit small, only space for one person.
In the closet you had an iron,an ironboard, socks and a zebra petterned bathrobe which you could by.
All front desk clerks were very kind, helpful and polite.
Free wi-fi in all rooms.
We had a very nice time at this hotel, we would definetly come back!

It was a great stay at the Allegro hotel in Chicago. It was close to major shopping areas in downtown Chicago and excellent location considering that I was there for business.
The lobby is very spacious… free newspaper everyday and room service is excellent for a rush morning breakfast.

Unique Quality: Friendly and helpful staff!

The public areas are at the top of a curved staircase on the second floor. The mural on the left of the photo is one of two that flank the staircase landing. The picture on the right is of one of the seating areas.

Hotel Allegro is a renovation of a building that also includes the Cadillac Palace Theatre and the 312 Chicago Restaurant.
.
We didn't think the renovation was as successful as one of the other Kimpton hotels in Chicago -- The Hotel Burnham. And we didn't find the staff as organized or as helpful as one would expect from an upmarket hotel.
.
It IS however well located for Chicago opera and theatre venues.

Unique Quality: It's very high-style with a 1930s theatrical edge.

I haven't stayed at any of these hotels but I think they all look like nice alternatives to the larger hotels, hotels with a little history and rooms with some character.

Hotel Burnham, 1 West Washington Street, is in a beautiful National Historic Landmark building (Reliance Building) that was restored and opened in 1999 as a hotel. There is a good restaurant in the hotel, Atwood Cafe which is named after Charles Atwood, the principal architect of the building. It is located in the loop and is close to the flagship Marshall Field's (Macy's) on State Street and to Daley Plaza.

Hotel Allegro, 171 West Randolph Street, used to be the Bismarck Hotel, it was renovated and reopened as the Hotel Allegro in 1998 after a $31 million renovation to the art deco hotel . It's right next door to the Palace Theatre, in the loop theatre district.

Hotel Monaco, 225 N. Wabash, was opened in 1998 and is decorated in French deco style from the 1920s and 1930s. One of their special touches is providing you with a goldfish for your stay upon request. It's located at Wabash and Wacker, just a few blocks away from the start of Michigan Avenue shopping known as the Magnificent Mile.

$140.
$99 specials.

Unique Quality: You can book most hotel rooms in Chicago on www.hotrooms.com at a discount. Hotel Allegro is a rich looking and feeling hotel and isn't too expensive. It was recently remodeled and now has a very bold, art deco appearance. It's a fun place to stay and is in the loop.
