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.

The upcoming Hilton@PLAY Chicago concert follows performances by GRAMMY®-winning Paramore at Conrad New York and pop superstar Nick Jonas at Hilton Anatole in Dallas.
