Perfect location, gorgeous lobby. Room was clean and large but needed some work (slightly peeling wallpaper, low water pressure). I'd stay there again, just don't expect the room condition to match the splendor of the common areas.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The Palmer House is a classic historical hotel located within walking distance of a multitude of Chicago attractions, restaurants and shopping venues. Less than 2 blocks away is Millennium Park, the Art Institute and the Maggie Daley children's park. The lobby of the hotel is magnificent, with it's complete restoration of the original soaring ceilings and their beautiful frescos and murals. Staff are friendly and courteous and the rooms are comfortable, clean and nicely appointed.

It was a great place downtown to stay if you are interested in a key location. But staff is not available unless you go down to the desk. Beds were comfortable but no coffee in room, no microwave and just felt like a number there. This hotel is historical and decent but needs better management
