Beautiful inside, no matter where you are in the Hotel.

Staff is professional and helpful. Lobby if gorgeous. Rooms are nice size for older hotel. Rooms were clean. Windows opened a bit which is nice for some air. High ceilings in rooms.

Staying at The Palmer House was an experience. Since we were staying only one night, and the hotel wasn’t full, we qualified for an upgrade for $60. We received a bigger room with two bathrooms, 3 free drink tickets (worth up to $15 each), and my daughter got a thermos mug for which she could get unlimited refills of hot cocoa. The facilities are beautiful. Very quiet room. Staff made us feel important. We were able to walk to the theater. We ate at the Lockwood restaurant and had a delicious meal. I highly recommend!

Large quiet comfy room. Windows actually open for fresh air! Fast elevators. Good bar (Porter's). Close to symphony and museum. Neat shop (Merz's Pharmacy) on ground floor.

Like the location most of all. Can walk to lots of our favorite places.

I absolutely loved sitting in the lobby and having a few cocktails! The check in/check out process was very easy and the staff was friendly. It was also nice having a Starbucks on property, and you can't beat the location of the hotel.

Fantastic location and the lobby is just gorgeous. The hotel is a great value for the money.

Perfect stay and wish we could have stayed longer. Did not eat in the hotel, but found delicious options right around the corner. Also found the train to be very convenient to the hotel for getting to and from both the Midway and O'Hare airports.

This historical hotel is stunning, clean facilities and friendly staff. It is conveniently located in downdown with access to the train system that can take you everywhere even to the Chicago O'Hare Intl. Food was good but not included in our offer. Prices were fair and affordable.

Excellent service, friendly staff. The place really is very nice. We like to stay here because it is close to most venues that we are visiting or going to.
