The original Palmer House was built in 1871 by Potter Palmer who began his career as a bank clerk in upstate New York. It opened on September 26, 1871, but incredibly was destroyed by fire thirteen days later in the Great Chicago Fire. Palmer quickly rebuilt the Palmer House which reopened in 1875. People who have been in and out of our city think of the Palmer House when they think of Chicago.”In 2005, the Palmer House was acquired by Thor Equities for $240 million. He is certified as a Master Hotel Supplier Emeritus by the Educational Institute of the American Hotel and Lodging Association.
