If you like the character of the old but the convenience of the new, check in at the Melrose. This recently renovated red-brick hotel, built in 1924, has 184 rooms in Oak Lawn, a charming, older neighborhood between downtown and the exclusive Highland Park area. No two rooms are alike, but they all feature European marble baths, ceiling fans with lights, mahogany furnishings and an armoire with cable TV service and in-room movies. The hotel's Library Bar is a relaxing spot to unwind in the early evening with a cocktail and complimentary hors d'oeuvres while a pianist plays. The Landmark Restaurant draws locals as well as guests to savor its upscale New American cuisine in an elegant dining room. Other Oak Lawn restaurants, galleries and shops are minutes away by car or taxi. -- Kathryn Jones
