Chi-town destination ”
Palmer House Hilton Hotel was a centrally located place to stay as we experienced Chi-town. While you do have some walking to do it is close to the Art Institute of Chicago, The Bean, Lake Michigan, Shedd’s Aquarium and much more. The beauty of a historic hotel, the friendly staff and the accommodations makes it part of a great experience.
Wonderful hotel”
Stay there for 3 nights, had a wonderful time,Close to a number of famous points of view, easy to find food to eat, convenient traffic (only 1 hour from airport to the hotel), clean, close to shopping malls The only thing unsatisfying is the lack of free internet, however, a starbuck nearby, that helps a lot. Overall feel really good about Palmer House Hotel RECOMMAND
Always nice intake”
i have stayed at the palmer house for several years. i used to stay at the drake; however, i started staying at the palmer house when the theatre district opened up a few years ago when i could go to the cadillac palace, the bank of america (old shubert)and the other theatre that has opened up in the district. i also like the restaurants nearby.
A wonderful experience and great service. ”
I truly enjoyed our stay at the Palmer House. It was a night away after surgery and wanted to relax and just sit back and enjoy the evening. The Palmer House was the best place for this type of weekend.
Great hotel and great location”
I travelled with my roomate. It's our first time in Chicago and staying in a hotel with good location like this really makes our trip more convenient. The room is big, the service is nice, and It takes us like 5 seconds to check out the room which is brilliant!~ I think I would definetely think about staying there if I go to Chicago again.
Well located comfortable hotel”
We like shopping, and the hotel is located near the best stores in downtown Chicago. The hotel is also close to the Art Museum which is a wonderful atraction oif the city. You also have very good restaurants in the area or if they are far away the subway and bus are good options. Also, coming back and forth to the airport in the blue subwayne to Monroe station is a fast and cheap way to movHighly recommended.
Art Deco style”
Palmer House is a beautiful Art Deco building with the most amazing ceiling in the main lobby. Great location and walking distance to the lake and other CBD areas. The room could have used some updating and there were a couple of ants in the bathroom, but was all ok. Biggest issue was the lines at checkin. I would go back though, the style was lovely
So unexpected!”
I was wary of this hotel before arrival because of the age and some bad reviews but wow, was i blown away! The hotel bar/check-in area is incredibly beautiful and the staff was amazing. we were able to check-in early and upgrade for a small fee. We upgraded from the full, single bed room to a king and we recommend it to anyone who can do it. The elevators were fast, pool was under construction, gym was great and staff were so accommodating. We would recommend this hotel a million times over.
lovely hotel and service with a smile”
great holiday price and a very beautiful hotel with alot of history and close to what is good in chicago.
Perfect hotel in perfect location”
from the moment we arrived we felt very welcome, the hotel itself is amazing and it's location is smack in the middle of the loop.
Great Location ”
If I go back to Chicago again, I will stay this hotel.
Comfortable and nice rooms”
great location in the middle of the city, walking distance to the Millenium Park and most major attractions. Rooms are newly renovated, very good taste, comfortable and modern. The hotel is very large and can be very busy during weekends and holidays, but we experienced good service and fast check-in. In summary a very good pick for the price compared to what you get, especially comparing with other hotels in the area.
Great location in iconic hotel”
Great location and ambiance but was very busy with lots of young sporting teams staying. This is an historic hotel and hence the rooms are very small and so was the bed. It is a huge hotel
Good location”
The hotel is just right next to the Metro stations. it is just easy to get around Chicago. The decor of the corridor is not very nice but the room is large and comfortable.
"Lovely hotel and service with a smile”
I would recommend it. The hotel is very beautiful. People are nice here. With a large and awesome lobby.
We enjoyed it!”
The location couldn't be better! We were surprised that for such a busy hotel our room was very quiet. The bed was comfy. The historic feel is great.
nice place”
ideal location that my daughter and i enjoyed. our stay was fabulous-- the empire room was fashionable, elegant, and unparalleled in glory. the room was clean and comfortable, perfect size. the restaurant, the lockwood, had wonderful appetizers, entrées, and an even better breakfast. close to michigan avenue for the great shopping, and also the best parking available.
Great Location”
Great Location, Classic and comfortable Hotel. Good Bar in Lobby.
very nice hotel”
very pleasant stay, great accessibility for w/c user in room, only issue was that the mattress was too soft for my preference.
Noise level”
Noise level is the worst I've ever experienced. Our next room was very noisy at mid night so my wife was not able to sleep at all and feel sick next morning. Very good staff and very historical hotel but I disappointed.
