I started going to Chicago with my Mother over 20 years ago and we always stayed in the Palmer House. It is so ornate and beautiful. When you walk up from the Monroe Street entrance, up the carpeted steps and turn that corner and are standing in the huge lobby it is breath taking.
Pros: Valet front door parking. Good restaurants....close to the El and theaters and Lake
Cons: I don't get to come and stay enough!
