I have stayed in Allerton for 4 nights (conference). Very nice location, clean rooms but they have total chaos at the reception desk. Receptionists lost our e-mail correspondence about reservation (they were seraching it for 4 days ...), the price was higher than in correspondence (which they never found). They also charged our room for parking we were not using... More

I purchased a four-night stay on Groupon. The price I paid was very good for a downtown Chicago hotel. I was in Chicago alone to visit my daughter who goes to school there. I quite enjoyed my stay at the Allerton. The location is great, on the north end of Michigan Ave. It is very near the Watertower, and many... More

This hotel is a lovely historical hotel right in the magic mile shopping district. The rooms are not huge but are comfortable. Friendly staff, complimentary morning coffee and a great gym make this a very pleasant hotel to stay.

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...
