Michigan ave is two blocks east of state street. If you come out of palmer house on monroe street turn right and walk one and a half blocks to michigan ave. Once on michigan ave head north and continue walking until to get to magnificent mile which is about 12 blocks. Besure to walk over bridge over chicago river. Once you start to see very upscale stores you are on magnificent mile. This part of michigan ave is referred to as magnificent mile. Stay on michigan ave and you will get to magnificent mile. Reference point macys department store is north of palmer house. Good luck and enjoy parade.

I've probably stayed at the Palmer House two dozen times over the years and I can't ever remember finding myself in a room with a great view. The hotel is surrounded by other high-rise buildings, so my guess is there really isn't a "great view" in the classic sense. That said, when booking, I would speak directly with one of the reservations staff right there at the hotel, tell him or her you want a room with the best view the Palmer House has to offer, and see where they put you.
