Michelin Guide "It's all very fancy, with gilded furnishings and tasseled silk canopy beds, but it's good to be king."
Frommer's "If you're looking to commune with Chicago history, this sophisticated small hotel delivers a one-of-a-kind experience." Full review

For views of both the city and lakefront, ask for a room on a high floor in the northeast corner.
Concierge "For a historic stay with a dash of flash, the Burnham is the place."
Fodor's "The design aesthetic inside is pleasantly funky, with Art Deco touches and zebra and leopard prints on the rooms' terry robes." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Perhaps no other hotel showcases Chicago’s impressive architectural history like the Burnham." Full review
i
Rest your head on down, foam, or even buckwheat ordered up from the hotel’s pillow menu.
Time Out "This historic architectural treasure morphed from the Reliance Building into the Hotel Burnham. Yet a National Historic Landmark, the hotel isn't stuck in the 19th century." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Set in the magnificent Daniel Burnham-designed Reliance Building, this stunning hotel is both classic and cheerfully contemporary."
BlackBook "A glamorous mix of historic location and modern style located in the Reliance Building, the world's first steel-frame skyscraper."
Zagat4.5
"This “excellent” Kimpton boutique "just blocks away" from theaters and museums is a “superb restoration” of an 1895 skyscraper with “a lot of character” and “exceptional” rooms."

"Named for Chicago architect Daniel Burnham, this steel-and-glass former office building with a terra-cotta facade in the downtown Loop receives perfect scores for its location across from Macy’s." Full review

Michelin Guide "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."
Frommer's "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
Fodor's "The epitome of a grande dame, this bustling and massive property in the center of the Loop has a lobby ceiling mural that wows and lots of gold, marble, and tapestry." Full review
Lonely Planet "Today the Palmer House lobby still has an ‘Oh my God’ opulence – Tiffany chandeliers, ceiling frescos – that makes a look-see imperative." Full review
OysterUpscale
"This 1,639-room historic hotel in the Loop has a storied past, and a breathtaking lobby with a painted ceiling and glittering chandeliers." Full review
Rough Guide "One of the city’s most historic hotels, the Palmer House is in the centre of the Loop, and perfect for visits to Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago."
Time Out "The opulent Beaux Arts lobby showcases museum-worthy frescoes and displays a mural by 19th-century artist Louis Pierre Rigal." Full review
Star Service "Situated at State Street, one block from Grant Park, this is the oldest hotel in Chicago, and it claims (as do a dozen others) to be the longest continuously running hotel in North America." Full review

Avoid rooms with direct views of the building's neighboring brick walls and ask for a high floor with lake view.
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 "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."
