About this adventure
Operating as North America's longest continually running hotel, The Palmer House Hilton (dating to 1871) offers an extraordinary setting for multi-generational family holiday dining. Inside the gilded State Ballroom and Lockwood Restaurant beneath restored ceiling frescoes, the hotel hosts its celebrated Thanksgiving Grand Buffet. The menu features carved herb-roasted Amish turkey with sage cornbread stuffing, slow-roasted prime rib carving stations, Atlantic salmon, sweet potato purée with toasted marshmallows, and a dedicated children's buffet with macaroni and cheese and sliders. The dessert pavilion includes scratch pumpkin and pecan pies and Palmer House's original recipe chocolate brownies.
