Congress Plaza Hotel & Convention Center

Originally built in 1893 to house visitors to the World's Columbian Exposition, this landmark hotel on Michigan Avenue has hosted international celebrities, presidents, and world leaders. The building features an absolutely stunning lobby alongside fashionably outdated hallways and musty corridor notes that contrast with cozy, big guest rooms. Set within walking distance of downtown bars, restaurants, museums, and attractions, the property provides sweeping lake views and maintains a historic barbershop alongside classic architecture.
