The Allegro Royal Sonesta Hotel is a 4-star hotel located at 171 W Randolph St, Chicago, Illinois. It is owned by Sonesta Hotels International. The hotel was built in 1926 as the Bismarck Hotel, and was extensively renovated in 1998 becoming The Allegro. It was also renovated in 2015. The fire alarm system is mostly from the 1998 renovation, with a panel replacement and new devices in 2015.
