my room on arrival was near the elevators and was too noisy. Logan at the front desk was very helpful in moving me to a quieter room. The guys at the Bell desk were helpful in storing our bags for a few hours the day we checked out.
United States of AmericaThe history of the Palmer House, the beauty. Simply amazing!
United States of AmericaIt is so beautiful. It is the longest operating hotel in the country so it is very historic. I spent some time just walking around and exploring it. Fitness center and pool are very nice. Room was very comfortable and staff was exceptional.
United States of AmericaStaff were great, great atmosphere, clean Hotel and environment. I was happy I booked with this Hotel. I am very satisfied with my stay and plan on returning.
United States of Americaamazing property, history and ambiance. great gym.
NetherlandsMy husband and I stayed at the Palmer House on our wedding night 38 years ago. I read the current reviews that mentioned it needed renovating, and wondered how bad it would be. It is still a beautiful place. The fact that the wallpaper in my bathroom was peeling did not affect me at all. I'm glad I went back. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. You can't beat the location!
United States of AmericaThe Palmer House is an excellent choice for tourists and first time travelers to Chicago due to its central location and historical decor. The valet service parks your car in their secured valet only garage under the hotel - at the time we stayed there were news reports of many vehicle break-ins in public parking around the loop, so we felt much better with our car and items locked away with the valet.
United States of AmericaIncredible location. Front desk stored breast milk, gave us a coupon for potter’s, and brought my wife band aids in the middle of the night. Top notch, above and beyond. Couldn’t have been happier with the service.
