Palmer House Hilton, a historic Chicago hotel, features expansive meeting spaces, an award-winning spa, and culinary experiences centered around the iconic Palmer House brownie. This 4-star property blends rich heritage with modern amenities.

Rooms & Amenities

Each of the 1641 guest rooms at Palmer House Hilton is equipped with modern conveniences, including complimentary WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and mini bars. Accessible options are also available, all designed to provide comfort in a historic setting.

Dining & Leisure

Dining options include Lockwood Restaurant, offering a variety of American classics and the renowned Palmer House brownie. Potter's Bar serves casual fare and cocktails under illuminated Greek Mythology frescos, complemented by the Express-2-You food delivery service.

Leisure & Business

Leisure facilities include a heated indoor pool and a full-service spa on the 5th floor, offering modern beauty treatments. For business guests, over 130000 square feet of flexible meeting space is available, supporting a range of event needs.

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.”
