Venue
A Chicago Landmark
THE PALMER HOUSE HILTONThe Palmer House Hilton is one of America’s most celebrated historic hotels, a Chicago institution for more than 150 years. From the moment you step into its breathtaking lobby — adorned with hand-painted ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and marble floors — you are transported into a world of timeless elegance.
Originally opened in 1871 and rebuilt after the Great Chicago Fire, the Palmer House has hosted U.S. presidents, world leaders, and cultural luminaries. Its grand ballrooms have been the setting for some of Chicago’s most memorable evenings, and the 42nd Annual Heartland Institute Benefit Dinner will be no exception.
