My Review by via Gayot on 8/10/2012
This hotel was originally opened in 1871, just 13 days before the Great Chicago Fire reduced it to ashes. Chicago real estate baron Potter Palmer immediately built a new hotel on the site---at three times the size of the original and ten…
One of the worst hotel experiences I've had. TERRIBLE. by twilcox via Citysearch on 11/16/2011
My pregnant wife and I (6'2") arrived late on a Fri evening and were given the smallest hotel room I have ever seen. It had one double bed (not even a queen) with peeling wall paper, a broken toilet, an old tube TV from the 90s, no minibar…

Love older hotels and Palmer House wonderful that way. It is a real hotel. Went there the first time at nine years old and have been going back there since. You are close to everything including the best shopping, the elevated train, the…
New Year's Eve 2011 w/ Yelp, 103.5 Kiss FM, & Chicago Sun-ti by chicagonye via Citysearch on 11/14/2010
This is by far one of the best hotels I've stayed in. Service was superior and the location is the AMAZING. Walking distance from everything (shops, museums, theaters, etc)

Paris' House by Jill M via Insider Pages on 6/3/2010
We love staying here whenever we're in Chi-town. The last time we stayed here we were given a HUGE room -- it came with a large sitting area, two sleeping areas and two bathrooms. The Palmer is conveniently located in the "loop" and is…

Great, Beautiful, Historic Hotel with a Super Location!! by girlaudio via Citysearch on 11/4/2008
The Palmer House was a great choice for our vacation stay. The location was great. I have stayed at 3 other hotels and this was by far the best location. The staff was amazingly friendly. I can understand why people say the halls are…
Bad Customer Service!! by RKJ66 via Citysearch on 9/26/2008
From what you read on their website, one would expect at the minimal you will have good if not excellent customer service. Not really!!! I was first greeted by a "joker" - Ron, who tried to make fun of my last name. Then took 5 minutes of…

Amazing Hotel, Amazing Location, Awful view by IceMouse via Citysearch on 7/2/2008
We recently got to stay at the Palmer House for three nights. The hotel itself is beautiful, however they were undergoing a renovation so much of the ground floor was blocked off for construction, and much of the exterior was also boarded…

A Chicago landmark and downtown mainstay, this hotel's elegance remains undimmed after more than a century of operation. The breathtaking lobby ceiling features oil paintings of figures from Greek mythology. In the 1,640 guest rooms and 83…
Great Hotel in the Middle of the Loop! by Exclusive1 via Citysearch on 4/21/2008

I do not stay anywhere else in Chicago! by denke510 via Citysearch on 6/27/2007
I started going to Chicago with my Mother over 20 years ago and we always stayed in the Palmer House. It is so ornate and beautiful. When you walk up from the Monroe Street entrance, up the carpeted steps and turn that corner and are…
