The Allerton Hotel is a 25-story 360 foot (110 m) hotel skyscraper along the Magnificent Mile in the Near North Side community area of Chicago, Illinois. It was the first building to feature pronounced setbacks and towers resulting from the 1923 zoning law. The building was designated a Chicago Landmark on May 29, 1998. When the Allerton first opened, it had fourteen floors of small apartment-style rooms for men and six similar floors for women, with a total of 1,000 rooms. The hotel also boasted social events, gold, sports leagues, a library, solarium, and an in-house magazine. An early resident was Louis Skidmore, founder of the architectural firm Skidmore Owings and Merrill. Senator Dick Durbin stayed at the hotel in 1969 when he traveled to Chicago to take the bar exam. In the 1940s and 1950s, the hotel housed a swanky lounge on its upper story, called the "Tip Top Tap." Although the lounge closed in 1961, the sign proclaiming its existence is still displayed on the Allerton Hotel. By 1963, the room was home to a new restaurant, the Cloud Room, when Don McNeill moved his broadcast of "Don McNeill's Breakfast Club" to the location. While the show was broadcast from the Allerton, McNeill's guests included regular Fran Allison. After the Allerton Hotel was declared a Chicago landmark, it was closed from August 1998 through May 1999 for a $60,000,000 renovation. The restoration work reversed the hotel's trend toward seediness. When the hotel reopened as the Allerton Crowne Plaza Hotel, the twenty-third floor, which had housed the Tip Top Tap and the Cloud Room, opened as the Renaissance Ballroom. At the same time, a lounge opened on the second floor called Taps on Two, and featured one of the Tip Top Tap's signature drinks, a Moscow Mule. In November 2006, the Allerton Hotel was purchased from Crowne Plaza and sold to the Oxford Lodging Group for $70,000,000. It reopened in February 2, 2007 as the independently owned Allerton Hotel; underneath the Oxford umbrella of hotels. From Wikipedia under the

I got two decent deals on hotel rooms. I'm not sure which to get. Seneca is $109 for a 1-King sized bed apartment-style room. Allerton is charging $144 for a standard room. I'm not sure which hotel is nicer since I've never been to either. Has anyone been to these hotels? It's only one night, so the whole kitchen deal isn't important. So. Seneca? Or Allerton? Both are located in great areas... they're a hop and a skip away from each other. Asked by Cochy - Thu Mar 20 16:05:23 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have been to the Allerton.

Tax deduction.?
Q. I am buying a commercial property where a large portion of the price is in future lease income. My question is if the difference between the purchase price and the fair market value of the property can be considered deductible business expenses. I found a 1948 Stanford Law Review paper on case Cleveland Allerton Hotel, Inc. v. Commissioner, 166 F.2d 805 (C.C.A. 6th 1948) which seem to support this. Does anyone know for sure if this is still true? Asked by Helen P - Tue Apr 15 02:43:58 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Interesting question .. plainly one for your Company Accountants ... NB you do know the bottom is dropping out of the commercial property market (in UK) ??
