Hilton to help Chicagoans play this summer,
host live concert at Palmer House Hilton
Chicago knows how to rock the summer. In fact, 71 percent of
Chicagoans included concerts on their Chicago summer bucket
list, according to a study by Hilton Worldwide (NYSE: HLT). To
help Windy City music fans in their quest for fun, Hilton is
hosting an exclusive concert, featuring a GRAMMY®-nominated artist
at Palmer House Hilton on Friday, July 10, as part of its
Hilton@PLAY concert series.
Leading up to the concert, from Monday, July 6 through
Wednesday, July 8, Hilton will be randomly delighting dozens of
Chicagoans and visitors who embrace the city’s top playful
locations with access to the concert for themselves and a friend.
To participate, fans should follow @HiltonHotels on Twitter to
receive more information.
“Summertime in Chicago not only embodies the spirit and energy
that we seek to inspire year-round with Hilton@PLAY, it is also the
home of 77 hotels and 10 brands within the Hilton Worldwide
portfolio,” says Jeff Diskin, executive vice president, commercial
services, Hilton Worldwide. “While we’re hosting our first
Hilton@PLAY Chicago concert next week, this city has been Hilton’s
playground for years - from hosting star-studded events at The
Drake Hotel and Palmer House Hilton to mixing the best cocktails at
ROOF on theWit Chicago - a DoubleTree by Hilton or Bernard’s Bar at
Waldorf Astoria Chicago.”
Playful Summer Bucket List
Highlights
To fully understand Chicago’s affinity for play, Hilton surveyed
Chicagoland residents to uncover their favorite summertime
activities. Highlighted findings included:
- Beachin’ It, Every Weekend: On
average, Chicago residents plan on going to the beach about once a
week this summer, and they plan on going to the parks about two
times a week.
- Fair Weather Friends:
Northsiders are more likely to bail on outdoor plans due to
inclement weather compared to Southsiders (47% vs. 34%).
- Friends with Boats: While 50
percent of Chicagoans never plan on boating or sailing this summer,
33 percent of respondents added ‘make friends with someone who owns
a boat’ to their summertime bucket list.
- The Ultimate Bucket List: If
Chicagoans were to create a “Chicago Summer Bucket List,” the top
five activities would include free summer concerts, fireworks at
Navy Pier, watching a baseball game at Wrigley Field, experiencing
the Taste of Chicago event and watching the sunset from ROOF on
theWit Chicago – a DoubleTree by Hilton.

GRAMMY®-winning Paramore at Conrad New York and pop superstar Nick
Jonas at Hilton Anatole in Dallas. To attend a future event, Hilton
