The Palmer House Hilton

Bogie and Bacall. Tracy and Hepburn. Taylor and Burton. This is old-school romance. Create your own memorable rendezvous at The Palmer House Hilton, a living piece of Chicago history. Lounge in one of the plush seats in the lobby to peruse the 21 frescos which pay tribute to Greek mythology and love. The Michelangelo-esque mural was originally created in the 1920s by French muralist Louis Pierre Rigal. Nibble savories and sweets at Lockwood Restaurant & Bar while surrounded by the Old Word glam of the 150-year-old Palmer House. Don't forget to have a brownie - it was invented here! Book an intimate dinner and a show at The Magic Parlour starring Dennis Watkins - it's an evening of classic magic and mind-reading featuring the work of the third-generation magician. Walk to Millennium Park for ice skating and concerts, the Art Institute and downtown restaurants and shopping.
