To share the tales of the hotel’s opulent past and guide guests through its elegant ball rooms, painted ceiling, and endless gold statuary and adornments, the Palmer House actually offers insightful daily tours by its own historian.
The historic Palmer House Hilton was built as a gift by Potter Palmer for his bride Bertha in 1871, but the timing couldn't have been worse: Just thirteen days after opening, the Great Chicago Fire ravaged the city.
This classic property features an ornate, domed lobby with elegant gold-leaf trim and spacious common areas.
