The 8th floor houses a heated indoor pool and a 10000-square-foot fitness center with Peloton bikes and 24-hour access. Dining options include Lockwood Restaurant serving American classics, Potter's Bar offering craft cocktails, and Lockwood Express for grab-and-go items. The hotel encompasses 130000 square feet of meeting space with three ballrooms accommodating up to 1653 people. Situated steps from State Street shopping, the property provides direct access to Macy's, Nordstrom Rack, and the Chicago Theatre District.

Pros

Home to the original brownie, invented at the hotel in 1893

Features 21 Greek mythological frescos and Louis Comfort Tiffany Winged Angel candelabras

Houses historic Tiffany Peacock doors at the Monroe Street entrance

Offers over 77 breakout rooms and 11 hospitality suites for events

Cons

Self-parking located across the street at 55 East Monroe

“The Palmer House has deep roots in Chicago's history, and its architecture reflects that legacy. Its location in the Theatre District is undeniably convenient, and the in-house spa is a true advantage. While some reports mention inconsistent service, its historic charm and amenities make it a worthwhile consideration.”
