The 261-room Hotel Palomar is one of the best Kimpton hotels in the city, and the only one in River North, near the Magnificent Mile. Its lovely indoor pool with a sundeck and its free nightly wine hour are both highlights, and the big, stylish rooms are equipped with iPod docks, 37-inch flat-screen TVs, and Etro bath toiletries. All in all, it's a great pick for the price.
Scene
A warm, stylish boutique within walking distance of both the Mag Mile and the Loop
The Palomar manages to feel both high-style and homey. In the lobby, shiny black-and-rust marble tiles, a front desk with cushioned tan sides and a lit-up yellow counter, and a long, skinny gas fireplace create an atmosphere that is inviting and a little retro. Lots of original art is displayed throughout the property; the hotel honors its neighborhood in arty River North (home to more than 100 art galleries — a higher concentration than anywhere besides New York City) with an "art in motion" theme.The Palomar is one of several Kimpton properties in Chicago, and it strives to achieve the typical intimate Kimpton experience with a free nightly wine hour, plenty of kid-friendly amenities (kid-size robes, welcome gifts, and even "mocktails" during the wine reception), and a come one, come all attitude toward pets (there are no fees and no weight restrictions).

Rooms
Big, comfy rooms with high-end amenities, but bathrooms are small
The Palomar's comfortable rooms start at 325 square feet — large for the price — and are equipped with 37-inch flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and contemporary decor in shades of red, blue and beige.
