The rooms are quite small and the hotel is older, but reasonably well renovated. The beds are very comfortable. The executive floor has a very good continental breakfast and snacks throughout the day. The wireless internet worked well. The hotel is close to great shopping and restaurants within easy walking distance. More

I have been staying at The Drake for the past few years after having stayed here a few years ago with disappointment at the noise and room size. I returned with my sister for the weekend and we were pleased overall. As some have commented, the wait for the elevators is a problem. We were lucky as we were upgraded... More

I was upgraded to a suite that was bigger than my own apartment. This is a big hotel that has the grander of an old hotel. I have to say that the rooms are comfortable and well appointed and the hotel is in a great location from business - maybe not as great for tourism. The gym is great -... More

This has one of the most beautiful entryways and lobbies I have ever seen. Unfortunately, you do not get to sleep in the lobby. The accomodations are the smallest tiniest rooms I have ever stayed in that did not have wheels on the bottom. The closet door will only open part way because it hits the bed. The bathroom has...

Palmer House is the perennial city classic with history details and warmth. Service is excellent, the rooms are clean and the food is good. For any history buffs, perfect selection and for anyone who just wants top notch with great service, this is your place. More

The location, common areas and lobby lived up to it's reputation however our room was nothing short of pathetic! Old faded carpet, "gray" bedding... More

Pleasantly old-fashioned decor. Friendly and competent service. Room was large and quiet. More

This is an old-fashioned grand hotel, for better or worse. It's in a perfect location for my work trips here, so I've stayed here before and will stay here again. I stay on the executive floors, which are higher up, quieter, have express elevators, and have access to the nice executive lounge. The "better" part of staying in a property... More

My husband and I have stayed at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago multiple times and appreciate it's reliability--large rooms by big city standards, lovely grand old lobby, perks for Hilton diamond card holders, and close proximity to the Chicago Art Museum (which is in easy walking distance), lots of shopping, and other sites. Recommended, particularly at the price. More
