Some hotels have history. Palmer House a Hilton Hotel IS history — the longest continuously operating hotel in North America, welcoming guests for an astonishing 155 years. This Loop legend has hosted presidents, royalty, and stars since 1871, and its breathtaking lobby remains one of the most beautiful rooms in all of Chicago.
You are in the beating heart of downtown Chicago: the Theater District, Millennium Park, the Art Institute, and the Chicago Riverwalk are all an easy stroll away. With 1,641 rooms, this grand dame of the Loop puts the entire city at your doorstep.
A proud member of Historic Hotels of America, this 4-star icon dazzles with its gilded lobby ceiling, painted murals, and timeless elegance. Dine at Lockwood Restaurant & Bar, then slip into Potter’s Lounge — a Prohibition-themed hideaway serving craft cocktails in sultry, speakeasy style.
Palmer House is perfect for culture lovers, theater fans, and travelers who want classic grandeur with modern comfort. Big, bold, and unapologetically historic — this is Chicago hospitality at its finest.
