Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel
Chicago, Illinois, United States · 4 Star Hotel
Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel Dog Friendly Review
Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel holds a failing F Roch Rank. Most rooms take dogs, up to two to a room, and yours is welcome in the lounge. Green spaces and parks are close by.
There is a charge for dogs with a damage deposit of 200, and a weight limit of 75 lb applies, so most dogs are fine. There is no dog bed, treats, toys or poo bags, no garden or dedicated dog space, no dog walking or sitting service, and staff have not been trained for canine guests.
Bring your own bowls and it does the job. Dogs cannot be left alone in the room, so your dog stays with you; this is a bare stay lifted by the lounge, best for an owner who keeps the dog close.
