Property Features

The Congress Plaza is a traditional hotel located on South Michigan Avenue opposite Grant Park. The Congress Plaza's convenient downtown location commands a spectacular view of Grant Park and Buckingham Fountain. It also provides easy access to The Art Institute of Chicago, Symphony Center, Soldier Field, the Shedd Aquarium, the Art Institute and the Sears Tower all within walking distance. Chicago's business districts, shopping and restaurants, as well as downtown theaters and universities are also just minutes away. The Congress Plaza features a main lobby with an award winning dome ceiling and stone statues in an Art Deco ambiance.

Originally designed and built in 1893 to accommodate visitors to the Columbian World's Exposition, the guest rooms and suites of the Congress Plaza are truly spacious by today's standards. The tastefully decorated, well appointed guest rooms are appointed with modern conveniences and most offer city or lake views. Guests looking for easy access to major downtown attractions will find the Congress Plaza convenient. The "El" train stops nearby and offers easy access to other parts of downtown, as well as both airports. The Congress Plaza offers on site dining and is only minutes to fine dining, shopping, and entertainment venues.
