With an enviable location several blocks north of the Chicago River, Kimpton Hotel Palomar Chicago offers a quiet respite in the heart of downtown. The four-star accommodations come with elevated style and such swanky extras as a 17-th floor heated pool with views to boot.

There are also loaner PUBLIC bikes, a kids program, and extra pet amenities.

Kimpton Hotel Palomar: Best For… Families

Perhaps surprising for a fancy establishment, Kimpton hotels are incredible family friendly. Kids get a welcome gift to start their stay out right, and restaurants have healthy options for kids with high chairs and booster chairs available. There are also special kid-only amenities like bunk bed rooms and a kids’ happy hour. There are even hula hoops in the fitness center! And if you want some time on the town to yourself, Kimpton has accredited babysitters on speed dial.

For those traveling with toddlers and infants, Kimpton has child safety kids complete with outlet covers, toilet latches and nightlights. There are also cribs and play yards available upon request, and Kimpton can work with rental car companies who offer child safety seats. There’s also a concierge on hand to help with rental requests for strollers, bouncy seats and scooters. Plus, the 17th floor heated indoor pool offers year-round entertainment for kids and adults alike.

Kimpton Hotel Palomar Amenities

Kimpton Hotel Palomar is where “comfort meets class,” with accommodations in an earthy color palette for a calming refuge. King deluxe, queen queen deluxe, and city view deluxe rooms offer floor-to-ceiling windows to let in Chicago views. Families can connect rooms, or there’s the option to upgrade to the luxurious Artist Suite. Luxurious spa bathtubs are accompanied by full-sized business-friendly desks and artful homages to the city.

Spa-like amenities continue outside of the room, the majestic 17th-floor heated indoor pool. There’s also an adjoining rooftop sundeck for guests. The on-site restaurant will even deliver right to your poolside chair. For more exercise, enjoy rooftop group fitness classes in warmer months. There’s also interval, cycle and yoga year-round in the on-site fitness center, complimentary and open 24/7. There’s a new Peloton commercial bike, cardio equipment with individual LCD TV screens, balance balls and free weights, yoga mats and accessories, and hula hoops for kids and kids at heart.

After your workout, unwind with an in-room spa treatment such as a massage or facial. Then, enjoy a meal at Sable Kitchen & Bar, the on-site restaurant. Known for farm-to-table food and handcrafted cocktails, the restaurant has been named one of Chicago’s best new bars by Food and Wine magazine.

Other amenities include printing at the front desk and same-day laundry and dry cleaning. Guests enjoy morning coffee and tea service and complimentary PUBLIC bikes. Pets are welcomed as guests as well, with no additional charge.
