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

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

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."

"The 443-room Allerton is one of the few hotels right on the Magnificent Mile, and its rooms... are more modern and stylish than those at the neighboring Omni and Intercontinental hotels." Full review
Time Out "This historic 443-room hotel was built in 1924 as Michigan Avenue’s first high-rise. Though its popular Tip Top Tap lounge is long gone, its sign is ever aglow." Full review
Fodor's "Named a National Historic Landmark in 1999, this limestone building was a residential "club hotel" for men when it opened in 1924." Full review
Star Service "Best of all, its rates are often discounted steeply to keep its rooms filled, and it is a significant step up from the other historic hotel in town, the Congress Plaza." Full review
