Things to see and do

Of course, our dynamite downtown Chicago location is a major attraction and when staying at the Congress Plaza hotel, you are just minutes from the major downtown Chicago attractions. We are at the corner of Congress Parkway and Michigan Avenue - perfect for a panoramic view of the lakefront and across from Grant Park where jazz, blues, gospel, country and symphony concerts help make Chicago's lakefront one great big 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.

We are also nicely situated for our business and meeting travelers! Sears Tower, LaSalle Street, the Chicago Board of Trade, and city, county, federal and state government offices are just three to eight blocks from our perfect corner.

It is just a short stroll from our door to the Loop with Marshall Fields and Carson Pirie Scott, among the many stores you will want to include in your shopping plans. And, it is also a very short walk to The Art Institute of Chicago, the Harold Washington Library, Symphony Center, and the Auditorium Theatre.

From our corner in the heart of Chicago's Culture Coast, you can hop a cab up the avenue to the Magnificent Mile of world-class stores, shops, restaurants, and the excitement of Navy Pier with its 17-story Ferris Wheel, the Children's Museum, shops, live music stages, and great restaurants.

What more can we say? The Congress Plaza Hotel & Convention Center is the perfect place to spend your exciting days in beautiful Chicago!
