Beautiful hotel, with friendly, helpful staff. I stayed here once before 5 years ago, and the interior is just as beautiful as I remember. I got a Lakeview king and the room was perfect with amenities, and even a mini fridge. Loved the shower head (wish I had the same at home) and plenty of hot water. The room was …
My wife and I loved our stay at this historical hotel. The staff was very accommodating. The rooms were clean and beautiful. My wife and I both agreed that we will definitely stay here again. When we come to visit chicago again.

I have stayed at this property year after year when attending Lollapalooza. Every year I book, I always have the same feeling….I’m going home for this block of days. I circle back to why we originally booked this hotel, not because of the rate, not because of the location, not because of points accumulation, not because of the amenities(yes, all …

I knew that we …
I can't say enough good things about my friend and I's stay at the Congress Plaza. It's been over a month since my visit and I am still dreaming about this beautiful, historic hotel! I had initially only booked one night here, but after seeing how spacious and luxurious the room was, I immediately went down to the front desk …
Absolutely stunning view from our windows on the 14th floor of the South Tower. View of the lake and all of the parks. The hotel itself is a mix of old, turn of the century charm and newly updated rooms. I believe remodeling is happening in most of the rooms now or soon but our room and floor was great. …
I stayed at The Congress Plaza Hotel & Convention Center while attending a conference in downtown Chicago, and the location could not have been more convenient. Being able to walk to nearby attractions, restaurants, and the event venue saved me a lot of time during my trip. My room was clean and comfortable, and I especially enjoyed the views of …
My stay at the Congress Plaza Hotel was great! I booked a Lakeview King a few months in advance for my trip, at the time being on discount, which resulted in about $340 total for two nights. Being with my girlfriend, this would've been …
