The star-studded guest list isn’t the only reason to stay at the Congress Plaza Hotel; built in 1893, it’s also a stunning Belle Epoque beauty. Mosaic tiles adorn the domed ceiling, elegant chandeliers create dramatic accents and artful murals enrich the walls. The hotel has such a long history of accommodating U.S. presidents, foreign luminaries and stars of the stage and screen. The spacious guest rooms with their Old World charm feature subtly curved headboards, fresh floral arrangements and attractive framed art. The color schemes vary from room to room and include rich shades of blue, green and red, as well as subtler tones of peach, pink and cream. Some rooms boast views of Lake Michigan. Visit the State Street shops by day, and come back to the Tavern Tap Lounge for a nightcap. Outside, you’ll find plenty to do at the nearby Grant Park and Buckingham Fountain; travel a few blocks and you’ll be in fun and funky River North.
