Delicious Brownies!

The highlights of my stay included the famous Palmer House brownies. Their rich chocolate taste and soft texture made for the perfect dessert after a long day. I appreciated having the opportunity to indulge in a piece of history right from the kitchen that created the first brownie. It truly added a unique touch to my visit!

8.8/10

I had a memorable experience at the Palmer House, which beautifully blends historic charm with modern comforts. The location is unbeatable, just steps away from major attractions in downtown Chicago. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and I appreciated the unique character of the hotel. However, I did run into some trouble with a faulty tablet for hotel info, and the elevator system can be a bit confusing. Overall, it's definitely worth the price considering the values offered.
