Priceline Hotel: 4.5* Chicago (Chicago Loop - Grant Park) Kimpton Gray Hotel

[allstar13]

Hello,

 

I'm looking for help idenfying a 4* Hotel in the Loop area.

 

If I had my choice, I would stay at the Palmer Hilton. (The bar there is magnificent).

 

Here are two currently listed on Hotwire.  I assume one is the W and the other is the Allegro.  But either might be the Palmer.  Can you give me any help?

 

Thanks!

I just searched using Hotwire's Easy View.

 

I still see the 2 hotels I listed above, and also these two:

 

4*

146.00

Loop - Millennium Park

Amenities Include: Free Internet, Fitness center, Business center and more...

(75% recommended)

FULL AMENITIES: Free Internet, Boutique hotel, Smoke-free rooms, Fitness center, Restaurant(s), Business center, Self-service laundry, Internet access, Golf nearby

 

and 

 

4.5*

I'm up for staying at one of the better hotels in the Loop/Millenium Park area.  I would prefer the Palmer, but any of these would probably work.

How is the Kimpton Allegro?

[AaronJB]

The Allegro is a nice property, but is a somewhat more basic property than the other three Kimptons in Chicago (the 4.5* Palomar, Gray and Monaco.) If had at the right price, it's a good "just looking for a place to sleep" option. Additionally, the Allegro is a trek to Michigan Ave and a lot of other tourist destinations. There's also not much going on around the Allegro at night. Additionally, on Saturday (and especially Sunday) there are a lot of things nearby (even things like Starbucks) that are closed. Are you still seeing the potential Allegro when searching for these dates?

 

The area around (and North) of the river has more going on at night. River North has a wide variety of restaurants/nightlife, as well. Let us know more about what you are looking for in terms of hotel (budget, desired star rating, do you need to be in a particular area, etc) and we would be happy research and make suggestions.

After trip update:

Wonderful hotel in a great location.  Ashe at the front desk was a stand out and will go far in the hotel industry.

 

Thanks for your help!
