Hotel The Palmer House Hilton (Chicago, USA)

This is a pet-friendly hotel which is great news for those who are fond of travelling with their favourite canine companions.

Hilton Palmer House is a non-smoking facility which is great for those who do not imbibe. It’s lovely to be able to check in to your room with the certainty that you won’t encounter the acrid, stale smell of cigarette smoke.

The wonderful, well-appointed staff welcomes you at check-in and continues to strive for excellence, from the restaurants to housekeeping to the in-house spa. They are happy to accommodate most any request and the concierge has lots of great suggestions f

Some of the standard guest rooms are small which is fine if you’re travelling alone. But if you are checking in with more than one person or like room to move around, you might want to consider upgrading to a larger room.

There is a fee for Wi-Fi in the standard guest rooms which can be a drag if you don’t want to incur the added expense. Executive rooms do have free Wi-Fi if you want to upgrade and the public spaces feature free Wi-Fi as well.

The walls are rather thin at this hotel and therefore, the bleed-through of voices and noise from TVs can be quite loud. This can be problematic if you’re a light sleeper or if your next door neighbors are particularly rambunctious.
