Monday, October 19, 2009 by Mallory Szabo
Centrally located in the heart of Chicago's loop, the Palmer House Hilton offers modern conveniences combined with over one hundred years of elegance. An all-in-one destination, the Chicago hotel has two on-site restaurants, an enclosed shopping arcade, and a fitness center complete with a steam room, sauna and indoor pool. Plus, a central location in Chicago's business and entertainment district places it just a few steps away from an abundance of shopping activities along world-famous State Street and North Michigan Avenue.

The Palmer House HiltonIn 2005, The Palmer House was bought by Joe Sitt. Over the next few years he began a renovation project of about $170 million to restore the hotel, while keeping it open the entire time. Although the renovation was much needed, Sitt had to be careful to preserve the hotel as an attraction. As one of the most frequently visited places in the city, The Palmer House is home to a beautiful mural painted by French muralist Louis Pierre Rigal in the 1920s. This scene was derived from Greek mythology and brought the entire lobby to life for both guests in the hotel and guests passing through to enjoy.

The Chicago luxury hotel's long list of special amenities is well-suited for meetings and events. The self-contained conference floor includes 38 function rooms and its own business center, which can satisfy virtually every business need. With 27,081 square feet of Chicago exhibit space, this 1,639-guest room property can accommodate large overnight groups while allowing the convenience for them to have meetings on-site. With fine service and Chicago's most popular attractions outside the door, The Palmer House Hilton is ready to charm you and your business guests.
