The Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago is a historic fixture in the windy city. Built over a century ago, this hotel has been called the home of presidents and has hosted many events of historic significance. You can still see the spacious function rooms and grand lobby, which serve to remind you of the previous decades of grandeur this old luxury hotel has seen.

The Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago has a central location right along the city’s famous magnificent mile. The hotel’s location brings you close to your customers' offices and all other beautiful spots in the city. The magnificent mile is also home to many of the city’s finer hotels, among which you will find Cass Hotel Chicago, the Tremont Hotel Chicago, Palmer Hotel Chicago, the Raphael Hotel Chicago, the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago and the recently renovated Intercontinental Hotel in Chicago.

In its former glory days, the Congress Plaza Hotel in Chicago could boast about its grand ballroom, with its vaulted, chandeliered ceiling that has been described as an architectural marvel. These days, the room is used mainly for formal events and the occasional banquets.

There are 852 rooms to choose from, but you may prefer to book a room on the topmost fourteenth floor to get a good view of the city and the lake. You will get the standard hotel amenities, including a coffeemaker and high-speed Internet connections for your virtual office. The rooms may have seen some wear, but they are bigger than the rooms in newer hotels and all of them feature elegant paneling of dark wood.

If you are bringing in big groups and would like to arrange for meeting space, you have a choice among twenty three function rooms of varying sizes, perfectly capable of hosting about two thousand persons in fifty thousand square feet of function space.
