The Palmer House didn't become a beloved downtown Chicago hotel by chance. It did so by design. Since 1871, the iconic Chicago hotel has been host to countless celebrated figures. Today, having undergone a meticulous $170 million renovation, the Palmer House awaits those stories yet to be written and forever to be retold, from legendary weddings to grand meetings to moments of pure pleasure. We invite you to share in the inspired story of this downtown Chicago hotel. Even more so, within the walls and halls of the Palmer House, we encourage you to compose your own.
