About The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

The Allegro’s storied history as a place of ambition, openness and joie de viver comes to life in modern day in the hotel’s glamorous vibes and refreshing charm. Located at the crossroads of Chicago’s backstory - government, theater, tech - and centered in the city’s beating heart, the hotel itself is well over 100 years old. Our story is rooted in the boldness of spirit that centers Chicago in practicality and ambition. The immigrant Eitel brothers purchased the hotel and, in 1924, acquired the rest of the entire south side of Randolph Street from LaSalle to Wells. With characteristic Chicago bravado, they raised and rebuilt the whole block to match their optimistic vision of the future including a 22-story office building, 2500-seat Palace Opera Theater and a 19-story hotel complete with exquisite details - including our striking marble staircase that still welcomes guests today. This vision of glamor and elegance welcomed all that was novel and new. Our four walls have hosted Vaudeville stars, tapped the first keg post-Prohibition and played headquarters to political change makers, jazz legends and movie stars. This is where you come in. Today, you’ll find no stodgy museum full of dusty historical treasure and tributes to the past. The Allegro is where vintage energy comes alive with Art Deco exuberance. Step up the sweeping staircase into the bustling Grand Lobby and feel the palpable energy of the roaring twenties. A spirit of beauty and optimism is everywhere. The decor. The historic details. The joyful service. Whether it’s champagne and popcorn in the lobby or the evening’s witty ‘Curtain Call’ cart with treasures to help you journey into dreamtime, you’ll find even the most un-thought of needs addressed by our considered details and insightful service. We can't wait to welcome you into our vibrant world to boldly create your own Chicago story, with your stay as the backdrop of the adventure.

    Great position. Service staff ( not the reception) were extremely kind and warm. Not very clean, we asked to have the room cleaned as we found some socks from the client before under the bed but the socks remained all the time. Elevators were always full as not all of them worked. The room was smaller and not as well maintained than what could be perceived in photos.

    The team had an amazing time here, staff were friendly, the hotel was beautiful. Best decision!

    The bartenders are very nice, if you're looking for that and food options are near by. They have a $10 credit they give you each day of your stay you can use at the bar, if that's your thing.

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    The staff were friendly and helpful. We used the valet which worked great for our stay. There’s a Starbucks off the lobby. Our room had a view of the roof which was not what I was expecting and the bathroom is really small so just be aware of that.

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    Small rooms, but what they lack in size they make up in everything else… great location and lovely staff.

    Excellent location

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Great location, very central. Close to several train stations. Walking distance to the river, shopping district and restaurant, while being a quiet enough and safe area. Good sized bedroom, comfy bedding. Coffee was available in the lobby in the mornings.until 10am but it was annoying that there was no coffee machine or kettles in the rooms like in most hotels. Bathroom is poor in terms of space where you can put your things on. Would also appreciate an anti fog mirror and magnifying mirror. Unsurprisingly in Chicago, you can hear the trains, have earplugs you're sensitive to noise. My room was connected to the next room through a door, so I could hear everything.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The bed was confortable. The size of the room was small but the bathroom was the problem: too small and the water from the shower flooded the entire floor.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    I had a basic double room with basic amenities. No complaints. Staff was helpful.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    - Rooms are a tad smallish, and definitely older. - Coffee Service (coffee in caraffes in a small side room) is the only kind of breakfast service available. - Ten dollars off at the hotel restaurant every day is _kind_ of cool, but not amazing. - Everything around this hotel closes at, like, 10pm. Pros: - Literally everything else - Really close to all the really useful public transit - Special shout out to the wonderful staff - Room cleanings are awesome

    Delicious breakfast

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Wonderful stay! Staff very friendly!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The only feedback I have is the bathroom in the king bed room was super, super tiny. Besides that, the hotel was great! We loved that there was a Starbucks connected to it too!
