Dating back to 1871 and situated in the heart of Downtown Chicago, the 1,641 room hotel has undergone an extensive restoration of its executive level, hospitality suites, meetings facilities, health club, business center and restaurants transforming the property back to its full glory.
“We are delighted to share the recent renovations of Palmer House Hilton with our guests,” said Dean Lane, General Manager. “Our goal has always been to preserve this iconic property while ensuring our guests are met with the comforts and conveniences of the 21st century. Continuing its legacy and maintaining unmatched hospitality for our guests, we will move forward in celebrating 143 years in the making.”

With over 50 deluxe and hospitality suites in addition to the hotel's over-the-top penthouse, Palmer House Hilton's Executive and Hospitality level accommodations have been graced with a $6 million-dollar restoration this year.

Boasting new contemporary touches, Palmer House Hilton's award-winning Lockwood Restaurant and Bar bring a fresh approach to dining with the ultimate farm-to-table offerings inspired by the hotel's rooftop garden, apiary and subterranean mushroom chandeliers.
