Chicago's Palmer House Hotel is offering a $40,000 Mother's Day package

If you’re looking to seriously treat your mom for Mother’s Day, Palmer House Hotel in Chicago could have the answer.

Located in downtown Chicago, Palmer House Hotel is deeply rooted in both history and luxury. When founders Bertha Palmer and Potter Palmer married in 1871, Potter gave Bertha the hotel as a wedding gift. It has since turned into the longest continually operating hotel in the United States. Another fun fact - the first ever brownie was created in the Palmer House kitchen in the late 19th century, so it really is the source of all good things.

Celebrate in the penthouse (Palmer House)

Decorated with Bertha’s French roots in mind, the current Palmer House Hotel features 21st-century renovations to accommodate a more modern group of guests.

This Mother’s Day, the historic hotel is offering a $40,000 package gift to treat your favorite person - "because Mom’s worth it.”

The brownie was invented by Bertha Palmer (Palmer House)

The package includes a two-night stay in the hotel's penthouse suite, complete with champagne turndown service, a visit to the luxurious spa, a tea on vintage china, a history tour, a private tour of The Art Institute of Chicago Impressionism wing, a brownie baking class, a Tiffany & Co. welcome gift and use of the hotel’s private black SUV.

For those who can’t quite afford the $40,000 extravaganza, the Palmer House will also have a Mother’s Day Tea Service in a more reasonable price range. At 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., guests can gather in The Empire Room for $65 per person.
