Palmer House a Hilton Hotel

A historic home in the heart of downtown Chicago

An icon of downtown Chicago for over 150 years, the Palmer House sits at the heart of the Theater District. We're two blocks from the Art Institute of Chicago and Millennium Park. State Street shops are just outside our door. Sip a cocktail in our famed lobby and bite into a brownie at the hotel where it was invented. Enjoy our fitness center, spa, and renovated pool.
