Allerton Hotel is located right in the heart of the Magnificient Mile, the most happening location in Chicago. Close to all the major sightseeing spots and with plenty of eating joints around, it provides a very convenient base for exploring the city. The Jackson station on the Red Line of the CTA trains is less than ten minutes by walk... More

This is our second time staying at this boutique hotel. It is CLEAN, convenient, and the rooms are cozy. Our king size bed was comfortable, the bathroom was sparkling clean, and excellent pressure for the shower as well. As busy as this hotel is, the elevators are plentiful and quite fast, even though they are on the small size. Next... More

Try not to get a room that faces a street (especially room 1012). You heard fire trucks and ambulances all night long (there is a hospital very close by). Be prepared and bring ear plugs! If you have a sign outside of your door before 2 AM then they will not clear your room and in return give you 10... More

It's tough to retrofit a large, legacy hotel, but the Allerton is not a shining example of this. Apart from the location, it is hard to think of very much to highlight. The fitness centre is decent, but the rooms and bathrooms are small and dated and the parking prices are obscene and the parking service very poor (over 30... More

The location of the Allerton is excellent. At the corner of the Magnificent Mile, and many interesting sights within walking distance (lake, millenium park, Art Institute, Hancock Tower, Wllis tower etc). The room was comfortable and clean. However, a lot of rooms have only very small windows and are very dark. The airconditioning was very noisy. But most annoying was... More

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
