Allerton Hotel, Historic hotel skyscraper on Magnificent Mile, Chicago, United States
The Allerton Hotel is a 25-story skyscraper on Michigan Avenue with a profile defined by pronounced setbacks and corner towers. The building contains numerous rooms across different categories and offers direct access to the shopping district.
The building opened in 1924 as the first Chicago structure to implement the 1923 zoning law with distinctive setbacks. It received landmark status in 1998.
The building served as a social hub for Chicago's community, particularly in its upper levels where guests and locals gathered for events. This role shaped its identity as a recognized gathering place in the city.
Access to Michigan Avenue allows comfortable exploration of the area without extra travel. The location on a main street provides good connections to other parts of the city.
An original neon sign from a former upper-floor lounge remains visible on the building's exterior, even though the venue closed decades ago. This sign stands as a quiet reminder of the building's former social role.
