The Palmer House Hotel is one of the landmarks of Chicago and the oldest continuously operating hotel in the country. The hotel is the perfect combination of modern amenities and rich history. In December 1945, Conrad Hilton bought the Palmer House for $20 million and it was thereafter known as The Palmer House Hilton. From 2007 to 2009, the hotel was completely renovated and restored. The hotel has a total of 1,639 guest rooms, making it the second-largest hotel in the city of Chicago.
