This is a beautiful building but too crowded with weekend guests to make this a pleasurable experience. Incredibly long,long waits for the elevator and for dining. No taxis in the area make you completely dependent on Uber or Lyft.

The Palmer House is a stunning blend of historic charm and modern comfort. The hotel’s opulent, ornate architecture and grand lobby are adorned with intricate frescoes and marble, offers a glimpse into its storied past. The location is ideal for exploring the city’s top attractions, and the hotel’s service made the stay very enjoyable.

This would have been a five star rating, but the 40 minute check-in process was a disappointment. They only had 2 people working the desk on a Friday afternoon, which is probably their busiest time of the week. We loved everything else about the hotel!

There is a timeshare sales desk right in the front desk area. Sales staff pretend to be part of the normal hotel process. They scammed us into a timeshare scheme. We are still trying to get $500 removed from our cc. Avoid this scam!
