This is another excellent property in the Kimpton chain, joining the Monaco and Allegro in the Loop. Note of distinction: the 17-story, 261-room Palomar has a green roof. Arty decor – little sculptures, original paintings on the wall – add to the fashionable but businesslike scheme. There’s an indoor rooftop pool, free bicycles to use and a free wine hour each evening.
Wi-fi costs $13 per day, but it's free if you join Kimpton's loyalty program.
