Allerton Hotel, Historic hotel skyscraper on Magnificent Mile, Chicago, United States
The Warwick Allerton Hotel rises 25 stories above Michigan Avenue, featuring pronounced setbacks and towers that define its architectural design pattern.
The building opened in 1924 as the first Chicago structure implementing the 1923 zoning law with distinct setbacks and received landmark status in 1998.
During the 1940s and 1950s, the Tip Top Tap lounge on the upper floor became a central gathering place for Chicago social events.
The hotel provides 1,000 rooms across multiple categories, with rates starting at $80 per night and direct access to Michigan Avenue shopping district.
The original Tip Top Tap sign remains on the building exterior despite the lounge closing in 1961, marking its enduring presence in Chicago architecture.
