Location & Transportation
Palmer House Hilton is conveniently located steps from State Street's shopping and dining, as well as key attractions like Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago. Public transportation options include Monroe Station (1-minute walk) and various bus services.
“Here's my take: this hotel stands out as a landmark, steeped in Chicago's history, home of the original brownie. Its prime location, steps from Millennium Park and the Art Institute, is a definite plus. However, some may find that the reality of the rooms and service doesn't quite match the grandeur of its public spaces.”
