I have stayed at the Palmer House several times, mostly with adult friends, but this last trip was with my 11 year old daughter for her birthday. All of my visits have been great. The staff is always helpful, no matter how many people are in line. The bartenders in the lobby were fabulous. The rooms are comfy - mostly... More

Only thing good in this hotel is the lobby and close to millenium park. We had worst experience in our life so far, elevators are so noisy, feels like some truck honking or passing by for every 10 seconds. We stayed there on new year's eve 2011 and we only tried sleep for couple of hours, but couldn't sleep because... More

Dear Guest, I apologize for the terrible experience and the inconvenience you had to go through. Each and every guest deserves peace and quiet. I’m also sorry that the room change did not work out with it being smaller and no view. We appreciate your review because we take your feedback into great consideration. Our priority is you, our guest... More

For the past 5 years, our family has spent Dec 23, 24 and we check out Christmas Day! This is and will always be our home away from home. The staff is fantastic and always willing to make accomodations - when our youngest was 3 & 4, we requested a corner room so as not to disturb other guests, we... More

This hotel is a Chicago landmark I guess. It has an amazing lobby, kind of reminds me of the Waldorf in New York, but smaller. The staff is friendly. I am here for business, and as the hotel is located right in the loop - it is really well located. I imagine that if you are here for tourism it's... More

This was our first stay in a big city with two small children. This hotel was a great place for us. It is a great location to catch the bus/subway and the staff were friendly and knowledgable. We had no problems checking in/out with minimal wait. The room was spacious with plenty of room for the kids. When our son... More

The hotel is very historic and beautiful...clean, efficient, friendly etc. Room was lovely with a REALLY comfortable bed. However, bring earplugs as it is right beside the L train which goes by every few minutes and could annoy light sleepers. Also, NO coffee machine which was surprising. Internet is NOT free...I think it was 14 dollars per day or something... More

Great location, and worthy of a stay based on the history of the hotel alone. But whatever you pay, add about 3/4 of the price to your expected daily bill. Parking (self, not valet) is half the price. Internet is another daily fee. I needed to use the business center, and was nailed for another $5 to figure out their... More

We Arrived at the Palmer House 25 Dec 11, and from the moment we stepped foot into the property, we were immediately impressed with the hotel.
