About Palmer House Hilton

Palmer House Hilton is a 1,641-room Loop landmark built by Chicago retail magnate Potter Palmer in 1873 and rebuilt after the Great Chicago Fire. The Empire Room's ceiling fresco, painted in 1926, is one of the largest in the country; the Grand Ballroom seats 2,000 under chandeliers hung from 24-foot ceilings. With 25 event spaces and a Monroe & State address two blocks from Millennium Park, it draws conventions, charity galas, and large corporate events that demand fleet-scale ground transportation.

Getting There

Local knowledge for The Loop

  • Underground parking fills by 5 PM on weekdays — door drop-off on Wacker or Michigan is far more practical.

  • Rideshare peak pricing routinely hits 3x during Loop rush hours; a flat-fare car eliminates the uncertainty.

  • Ask your driver to use the Lower Wacker level for inbound — it bypasses most surface street congestion.

From
O'Hare International Airport (…
To
Downtown Chicago / The Loop
30–55 min📍 17 milesFrom $130

Chicago's most traveled airport corridor connects O'Hare International directly to the heart of the city. Whether arriving for a board meeting or a weekend escape, our professional chauffeurs handle the Kennedy Expressway with precision. Real-time flight tracking ensures we're there when you land, not a moment sooner or later.

From
Midway International Airport (…
To
Downtown Chicago / The Loop
20–40 min📍 10 milesFrom $130

Midway's southwest location means a shorter, more direct run to downtown than O'Hare — when traffic cooperates. Our drivers know every alternate route around I-55 bottlenecks, using local streets through Bridgeport and the South Loop when needed. A fast, professional transfer that sets the right tone for any arrival.

From
Downtown Chicago / The Loop
To
Soldier Field
10–20 min📍 2.5 milesFrom $130

Bears games, major concerts, and Chicago Fire matches all draw massive crowds to Soldier Field on the lakefront. We handle pre-event and post-event transportation so you skip the parking lottery entirely. Our drivers know the drop-off zones, the post-game exit corridors, and the fastest routes back to any Chicago neighborhood or suburb.

What Our Clients Say

Thousands of Chicago travelers book with Royal Carriage for airports, weddings, and corporate travel.

Our September wedding needed 3 vehicles — a Rolls Royce for us, a stretch limo for the bridal party, and a Sprinter shuttle for 14 guests. Every driver arrived 20 minutes early to the Drake. The coordinator handled our timeline flawlessly from ceremony through the reception at the Peninsula.

Arriving at Palmer House Hilton — Palmer House Hilton

Arriving at Palmer House Hilton

Palmer House Hilton sits at 17 E Monroe St in the Loop, two blocks from Millennium Park. Its Monroe & State location is dense with downtown traffic, so our chauffeur times the drop-off and stages at the correct entrance for the Grand Ballroom or the Empire Room. Loop parking is valet or garage, so we release guests curbside and hold the vehicle nearby. For an 1873 landmark rebuilt after the Great Chicago Fire, a coordinated arrival keeps your party out of the Monroe Street crush and into the historic lobby on schedule.

Events at Palmer House Hilton

Palmer House offers 25 event spaces, with a Grand Ballroom seating 2,000 under 24-foot ceilings, hosting Corporate Conventions, Charity Galas, Weddings, and Award Dinners. A 2,000-guest ballroom event needs staged transport so the Monroe Street entrance stays clear through the arrival window. For Corporate Conventions, vehicles sync to the day's session schedules; Charity Galas, Weddings, and Award Dinners run to their own programs. With the historic Empire Room and 25 total spaces drawing large events, planning against that 2,000 capacity and the dense Loop traffic keeps attendees moving between the hotel and Millennium Park two blocks away rather than backing up at the curb.

Getting to Palmer House Hilton in style

A convention or gala at the historic Palmer House blends executive arrivals with steady group moves across its 25 spaces. A Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator delivers leadership to 17 E Monroe St with comfort, while a Lincoln stretch limo keeps a wedding party together for the Grand Ballroom. For individual VIPs, a Mercedes S-Class handles the door-to-ballroom arrival. We match each vehicle to its role across the program, time the pull-up to the Monroe Street traffic, and stage each car at the right entrance so guests reach the lobby two blocks from Millennium Park without crowding the curb. Plan the arrival at (224) 801-3090.
