"The Silversmith is a hidden gem that eschews the usual chain-hotel conformity for a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired look."

You'll want to avoid the lower-level floors if you like things quiet.

"This 143-room gem in the southern part of the Loop was one of many jewels in the crown of Chicago architect D.H. Burnham."

Ask for a high-floor room to avoid noise from the El train along Wabash Avenue.
Lonely Planet
"Although the exterior was designed by Daniel Burnham’s firm, the hotel’s interior recalls Frank Lloyd Wright: the chunky wood furniture has a distinct Prairie School charm."

Time Out
"The late 19th-century Arts and Crafts style is evident outside and in, with wrought-iron pieces adding accents to the comfortable (if slightly dated) decorations in each room."

"The sparkling Palomar brings innovation, style, and panache to the Windy City."
Frommer's
"The Palomar's contemporary-cool look and eclectic decorative details put it firmly in boutique hotel territory, but its indoor pool and attached deck set it apart from the competition."

Request one of the upgraded corner rooms for maximum light.

"The 261-room Hotel Palomar is one of the best Kimpton hotels in the city, and the only one in River North, near the Magnificent Mile."

Star Service
"Has evolved into one of the city's favorite hotels for its ability to combine cool coastal style with a Midwesterner's utter lack of pretension."
