The original Palmer House was built just before the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and perished in flames during the conflagration. Shortly afterwards, Potter Palmer rebuilt his hotel more opulently than the first. Years later, during the mid-1920s, the Palmer House was once again rebuilt to what it is today. The hotel is right in the heart of the Chicago Loop and offers comfortable rooms at reasonable rates. Even if you are not staying here, the elegant hand-painted ceiling in the lobby is a must-see.
