Stayed here for 4 nights for a business meeting. Rooms were clean, service was good and you cannot beat the location. I would definitely stay here again for the right room rate. Two small issues.....my room was about the size of a standard hotel room, but some of my colleagues were in rooms the size of a postage stamp....a little... More

Came to Chicago for a business trip at Northwestern University's Medical School and the local contact suggested the Allerton which was only steps away. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, and the bed was comfortable. The best thing is the convenient location to the stores, restaurants and sights of Chicago's Magnificent Mile. I was situated on the 20th floor with... More

I spent 6 nights here in March 2013. Everything was good from check in through to check out. Pleasant and attentive staff in all areas of the hotel though maybe the concierge could look a little more interested from time to time. I took breakfast at the hotel on 2 or my 6 mornings and though a little on the... More

Our first time in Chicago could not have been better. The location of the Allerton is perfect. Roberta at the front desk was exceptional. She is a real asset to this property. The concierge, Bouchaib, arranged for a late check out to accommodate our late flight. Can't wait to return!

The Allerton Hotel Chicago, built in the midst of the Roaring 20's, is a historical landmark on the Magnificent Mile. This completely renovated boutique hotel is a great alternative to the mega-hotels in downtown Chicago. The customer service is stellar and the rooms cozy, but accommodating. The most recognizable feature of the hotel is it's famous Tip Top Tap sign... More

The hotel is located on Michigan Avenue near the Apple Store. Handy for all the shops, restaurants and bars in the downtown area. Reception is located on the 2nd floor and is connected by slow moving small lifts so be prepared to wait some time to get around the hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. Rooms are on the small side...

We enjoyed our two nights at the Allerton. Our room was small, but the bathroom was modern, very clean, and relatively roomy. The room was pleasant and on the thirteenth floor offered a good view. One reviewer on this site liked that she could open the window. Our window was designed to open only a half-inch crack. I would have... More

The Allerton Hotel is definitely in a great location: right on Magnificent Mile and close to the Downtown Chicago attractions. The style and furnishings are also nice. It is nice that you can open the windows. But: the elevators are small and not air conditioned and felt sticky. The room had no coffee maker. The plumbing in this hotel is... More
