The Bar/Lounge at The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel Chicago Loop

"A towering fireplace warms the lobby, while such glam furnishings as curved velvet settees, circular leather lounges and rich gold curtains add drama"

"Though some rooms are on the small side, all have modern amenities: 37-inch flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, Aveda toiletries and mini-bars"

"Relive the days of the three-martini lunch at the Encore Lunch Club + Liquid Lounge or settle in to a comfy booth for some yummy Italian food at 312 Chicago"

"With its street-side 312 Chicago restaurant and Encore lounge, the hotel is popular nightspot downtown"

"Perfect for couples or as a late-night hook-up spot, it offers in-room spa treatments and the stunning, circus-like Encore Liquid Lounge"
