THE KIMPTON HOTEL ALLEGRO:(opens in a new tab)
With its eclectic local artwork, sumptuous furniture and original 1926 light fixtures, the lobby of the art deco-style Kimpton Hotel Allegro warmly welcomes guests after a $15 million renovation in June 2015.

The hotel’s 483 retro, comfy rooms and suites are decorated in a vintage style of black, silver and cream to evoke the feel of a black-and-white photograph; artwork and cushy pillows provide pops of color. The new rooms include stylish fixtures and accommodations, Atelier Bloem bath products, 37″ flat-panel TVs and iHome docking stations. Like all Kimptons, pets stay free and are welcomed with treats, a comfy dog bed and food/water bowls upon request.

Guests can work out in the fitness center 24 hours a day and stretch out on the yoga mat provided in each room. Fill up on Italian cuisine before a show at the on-site, white-tablecloth 312 Chicago or grab a signature cocktail at Bar Allegro, open to locals and guests alike from 4-11 p.m. daily.

Tucked amid the Loop’s theater and business districts, this 4-star boutique is next to the historic Cadillac Palace Theatre and a quick 15-minute walk to other top Chicago theaters and attractions, including Millennium Park and the Magnificent Mile. It’s also a quick 10-minute cab ride to the city’s Restaurant Row, featuring nationally recognized destinations like Girl & the Goat, Au Cheval and City Winery.

Kimpton Hotel Allegro is a great choice for travelers interested in architecture and food. Enjoy the Laver Cup with your Mac Sports Travel host.

The structure is like to The Ryder Cup – the most exciting event in golf! Four of the six tennis players will qualify based on their ATP singles ranking as of the Monday following Wimbledon. Two are “captain’s picks” announced on the Monday after the US Open. Every day four matches will be played- three singles and one doubles. If the competition is tied after all twelve matches, a tie breaking doubles match will determine the winner. Each match win will be worth one point on Friday, two points on Saturday, and three points on Sunday. The team with the highest amount of points will win the Laver Cup.

TOP 5 REASONS TO VISIT CHICAGO:

#1 It’s absolutely breathtaking
Chicago is a gorgeous city. From its tall skyscrapers to the scenic views and incredible picture-perfect moments you could be capturing, Chicago is definitely a city you could easily fill up your camera with pictures of. You would continuously be capturing every single moment in Chicago because of how visually attractive everything is.

#2 Tourist Attractions
They offer architectural tours, double decker bus tours that take you around parts of the city, and a variety of other tourist attractions you can take into consideration once coming to Chicago. The architectural tour (which we highly recommend so you can learn the history behind the buildings running alongside the river), and the double decker bus tour that gives you some tips and information on what to do in Chicago.

#3 The Deep-Dish Pizza
This pizza is outstanding. You have to try this pizza at least once in your life, especially if you’re in Chicago. It is just the most delicious thing your mouth will ever have the pleasure of tasting.

#4 The Navy Pier
Walk along this pier and tell me this place is not worth coming back to a multitude of times. Here you get the perfect view of the fireworks at night, and then during the day, you surround yourself with music from either the speakers or actual bands, a number of restaurants all along the pier, as well as some various shops and more tourist attractions.

#5 Millennium Park
This is where you get to take pictures with a giant bean made out of nothing but stainless steel that allows you to see your own reflection. This is a stunning piece of architectural work that deserves to be captured in your pictures if you ever decide to go.

Although there are so many possible options for what you could do in Chicago, those are our top five.
