About The Palmer House and Lacuna Lofts
The Palmer House Hilton is one of the most storied hotels in America, set in the heart of Chicago’s Loop. Its gilded lobby and famous painted ceiling make it one of the most photogenic interiors in the city. For the reception, the celebration moved to Lacuna Lofts in Pilsen, an 1897 macaroni factory turned loft venue with a rooftop deck overlooking the skyline. Old-world grandeur and raw industrial texture make a striking pair in photos.
