Chicago Hilton

Here's some shots I took from the roof of the Hilton...where they filmed the end of The Fugitive. It's pretty cool up there; there's a helicopter pad and what remains of the original colonnade. The Conrad Hilton suite sits on top (from Home Alone 2) which is the most expensive hotel room in Chicago ($5000 per night!). Sorry for the crappiness of the pictures, I didn't hang around up there very long.

thats my favorite movie. I assume this place is still active, but how hard is it to get up there? I'm coming to Chicago in a few weeks and looking for some places to check out.

40+ year olds with Myspace pages are not cool, they are pediphiles on the prowl. Buyer beware.

It was pretty easy to access for me, there were stairs going to the roof and the door was open. Not sure if that was just a temporary thing or what...seems like they would want to keep it locked. You would probably want to make it look like you were a guest in the hotel though. I love that movie as well, you can see a lot of the locations from the movie if you explore around.

That's actually a different Hilton hotel about 6 blocks north of the Chicago Hilton. Interesting pictures though!

So it is, and I would have realized that if I re-read the text that went with the link I posted. Brain fart.

Heh, I thought he was talking about the Palmer House as well until I saw the pics. Chicago Hilton's are popular!

Looks like yours has a better view and is taller, nice pictures!

Turn off the internet and go play outside.
