"From spacious, attractive, and updated accommodations to fine dining at the lovely Lockwood restaurant, the Palmer House lives as comfortably within the 21st century as it did in the 19th."

"The Palmer House caters overwhelmingly to business travelers, but because it's so big, you can snag good deals here when there are no conventions in town." Full review

Avoid rooms with direct views of the building's neighboring brick walls and ask for a high floor with lake view.
Gayot Gayot
"Although standard rooms tend to run small, they were rejuvenated with the Palmer House's history in mind, so that each is individually decorated with turn-of-the-century details and art."
BlackBook BlackBook
"The updated Palmer House features more comfortable and contemporary rooms, a new spa, the Lockwood Restaurant, while preserving what Chicagoans loved most about the historic hotel."

The average-size rooms are decorated in standard business-hotel style; if you can, request one on the north side, which features panoramic views of the city skyline and Lake Michigan.
