A true "old" Chicago experience awaits you with this package deal.

First a weekend stay at one of Chicago's oldest and most historic hotels. The Palmer House established in 1871, is home to some of the most beautiful architecture as well as a bountiful history within it's walls. From the Beaux Arts ceiling - meticulously restored by a Florentine artisan noted for his work on the Sistine Chapel - to the addition of an entire floor of deluxe-tech conference and meeting facilities. With more than 1,600 deluxe rooms and 88 suites all warmly residential, you can be sure there's a room that's perfectly suited to your needs.

There are spacious double rooms, many with two baths. One, two and three-bedroom suites, and the palatial eleven-room Penthouse Suite. On the Palmer House Hilton Executive Levels privacy is one of the many things you can take for granted. Life on the Executive Level is purposefully removed. It has a staff and style all its own. And a level of service that ensures the least possible distraction.
