My husband and I stayed at this hotel on a recent trip to Chicago to visit friends. This hotel is in a pretty great location, within walking distance of the Magnificent Mile, and easy access to the lake, and many downtown activities. Our hotel room was on the 10th floor, spacious, very clean and nicely decorated. The hotel held a... More

My partner and I decided to visit Chicago for the first time over Memorial Day weekend. Prior to checking-in, I emailed the hotel and made a few simple requests to make our visit extra memorable. As always, requests are not guaranteed. Because it was a long weekend, I expected the hotel to be fully packed to capacity and such requests... More

Disappointing after seeing it rated so high. The rooms very very small. We had booked a package where we were told we'd receive a welcome gift with many Chicago treats and front desk man told us it would be extra special. When there was a knock at the door and they delivered a soda and a very small dish of... More

This hotel is AMAZING. I didn't want to give such a raving review because once the word is out on this hotel it will be hard to book a room I am sure they will always be full. The service is the best I have experienced at a hotel anywhere. They met every request I had made for a corner... More

Upon arriving in Chicago, late, and from the awful Midway airport, we immediately knew this was going to be a great place to stay. For a start, the hotel is right over the road from the Grand/State Red line L stop, as well as a great brewpub called Rock Bottom (yeah, I know it's a chain, but the beer, food,... More

I know many discount the raving reviews, but this was a fabulous hotel! First, the location is great. You are only a few blocks off Michigan Avenue and close to Nordies and the Trib building. Staff was impeccable. Super helpful and attentive. Even brought by ice and a weather report on my second night. Room was clean and modern. Comfortable... More

Dear twiggers77: Thank you for your recent review of our hotel. We truly appreciate your feedback and detailed descriptions. Running along the river and lake is one of the best things about our location. We are right there. Every Tuesday morning we have a manager led run that takes guests along the lake and back. Just be in the lobby... More

Great hotel in the perfect neighborhood and very accommodating and helpful with transportation, recommendations of places to go and places to eat. Have two kids under 5 and it was perfect.

I spent a long weekend in Chicago in March and as usual, stayed at the Palomar. Perfect location, friendly and helpful service and comfortable room. I always enjoy trips to Chicago and I always stay at the Palomar!

Having stayed twice at the Palomar in D.C. we knew exactly where we wanted to stay while in Chicago for meetings and to celebrate my husband's birthday. And the Palomar in Chicago did not disappoint. Wonderful room, divine bed, morning coffee in the lobby, ice-cold water with fresh lemons through the day and wine reception every evening. But really it's... More
