We booked a room on Hotwire and stayed overnight this weekend. We got a room with double beds, and the room was spacious, with a nice sitting chair with ottoman, luxurious bed linens, nice tv, desk, chair, and a small but adequate bathroom with marble countertop. The location is fabulous, just a block away from Millenium Park. We parked at... more

I placed a $90 bid on a 4-star hotel in the millenium park area and we ended up with this hotel. My husband and I were both very happy with this hotel. The ambiance is magnificent. Lots of high ceilings, very rich, contemporary decor. The rooms were standard size for a DT Chicago hotel. Basic amenities and we ended up... more

Great locationQ 1/2block from from Michigan Ave Millenium Park, Museums, Soldier Field. Rooms are REALLY small, and bathrooms are tiny. No mini-bar, mini refriderator or refreshment center in room. Comfortable bed. Be sure to ask for room on opposite side of L train. L runs 10 feet from the building every 5 minutes. more

Booked two rooms on Priceline for $67 each, about the same as the cost of one room through Travelocity. (Priceline only guarantees space for two people, and we had three and didn’t want to take a chance). During our stay, our plans changed and we needed to book another night downtown only one day in advance. The Palmer House desk... more

First impressions were of a grand, ornate hotel. We walked to the hotel from Chicago station and it took about 10 minutes asit was quite easy to find. We lugged our cases up the stairs to the first floor lobby and reception and then discovered the escalators. We arrived a bit early and couldn't have an early check in without... more

Very Nice

This hotel is definitely a great place to stay while in the city. The lobby and restaurants are fantastic and posh. The rooms are clean and the bathroom was marble-tastic. I definitely recommend- especially since you can't beat the location as it is very close to Millennium Park and the Art Institute. more

Having won a bid for $64/night on Priceline, we knew what to expect given previous reviews. I would highly recommend whoever plans on staying at this hotel become a Hilton Honors member, it's free and allowed us to bypass the fairly large line-up at the regular check-in desk. Although we were not lucky enough to be given a room on... more

I can not say enough great things about the Palmer House Hilton. We had a great stay! The hotel is absolutely beautiful! Very clean and decorated nicely. The beds were so comfortable we didn't want to get up every morning. Our room was very spacious with two double beds and two full bathrooms! The staff was very nice and helpful.... more
