Hotel Allegro Chicago

Frommer's Review

Owned by the same company as the Hotel Monaco and the Hotel Burnham (both listed above), the Allegro has a more laid-back vibe than other Loop hotels. That makes it a good bet for families, as long as you don't need to spread out (the rooms don't have much space beyond the bed, an armoire, and an armchair). Still, the bright white-and-blue color scheme is cheery, and the compact bathrooms have built-in marble shelves for ample storage. Befitting a place where the doorman hums along to the tunes playing on speakers out front, the Allegro appeals to younger travelers. Encore, the in-house lounge, serves cocktails late into the night, and the hotel's restaurant, 312 Chicago, attracts nonguests in search of excellent Italian cuisine. A note to theater fans: The Allegro has access to exclusive seats for many high-profile downtown shows and often promotes special theater packages.
