The Congress Plaza Hotel, a historic Chicago hotel on Michigan Avenue, was originally designed and built to accommodate visitors to the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. Over the years, this 14-story property has catered to our nation's Presidents, foreign dignitaries, opera performers, stage and movie celebrities, business travelers, and a multitude of conventions. Located on a picturesque setting on Michigan Avenue, adjacent to Grant Park, this hotel is ideal for visitors wanting a taste of Chicago. Step outside the front door and you will notice the hotel is ideally situated between downtown college campuses, with The Loop, Auditorium Theater, Art Institute, Field Museum, Adler Planetarium, Shedd Aquarium, and Soldier Field all nearby. McCormick Place, Navy Pier, Magnificent Mile, and River North, are within blocks.
The hotel is at the corner of Congress Parkway and Michigan Avenue - perfect for a panoramic view of the lakefront - and across from Grant Park where concerts help make Chicago's lakefront one joyous promenade of things to see and do. Numerous festivals, including the world famous "Taste of Chicago" take place within steps of our front doors. Recreation: The Gazebo Restaurant serves American favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a casual environment. Rafael's offers the same cuisine in a more intimate atmosphere. Tavern Tap Lounge is a great place to greet old friends and watch your favorite team on the big screen.
The guestrooms and suites of the Congress Plaza Hotel are truly spacious by today's standards, and many overlook the beautiful waters of Lake Michigan.
