Beautiful historic building and hotel. Helpful and nice staff. Perfect central location for everything in downtown Chicago, and very close to the L trains and red subway line to get everywhere else.

CanadaIt is a beautiful place to stay, with great staff and wonderful food. Its location makes walking to the Art Institute, Millenium Park, food, and shopping very accessible. The pool and fitness facilities were very nice too. The brownie inspired cocktail was to die for as were the brownies. I love staying at the Palmer House when I visit Chicago!

United States of AmericaThe staff was great, unlike my 2 previous experiences at Hilton Hotels. The room size was exceptional and so were the closets and other storage options. I appreciated all of the huge fluffy white towels in the room and especially that they were also available in quantity at the pool. Also appreciated their advance communication about dropping off luggage in the morning (which was quick and fun) and the extra cleaning precautions they take due to covid. Great experience in a stunning 19th century building in the heart of the Loop.

United States of AmericaThe room was excellent. We were surprised by the size of the room which made the stay so much more pleasant. Bed super comfortable. Everything was very clean. Plenty of closet space. Location was also excellent with walking distance to Theatre District, Millenium Park, The Art Institute of Chicago, and so many excellent restaurants like The Gage. Staff was very friendly and accommodating, the doorman, the porter, reception, Lockwood staff especially Jill, our waitress. Pedro Davila, manager, was friendly and welcoming. Breakfast at the Lockwood was great with lots of choices. My son stays there when in Chicago on business and has also taken the family there when visiting Chicago, so he highly recommended the hotel, and he was right in doing so. The hotel lobby with its beautiful "Sistine Chapel" like ceiling and gorgeous chandeliers gives one a feeling of grandeur. We loved its history and how it has transcended through the years.
