    We had a hearty breakfast with the excellent Corner Bakery or a block further to Potbelly, omelette watery on plate, the tough pancakes, could find something for everyone.

    Well, the views were not bad here.

    Dive deep into the organic section at the hotel cafe for culinary treasures fit for a foodie king. Revel in the incredible location overlooking Buckingham Fountain and Lake Michigan. Convenient to the Art Institute and Blue Line Metro.

    Despite the Dirty Dancing vibes with chipping paint and unkempt hallways, our room sparkled. Ice machine MIA, L Train's serenade every 15 minutes, and a towel quest worthy of Indiana Jones.

    Breakfast was impeccable, offering an indulgent "Congress Glam Slam" feast. The city's vibrant cultural scene and iconic sights were just a stone's throw away. Plus, the personalized service ensured a seamless experience. The convenience of nearby dining and attractions made my stay effortless. The museum visit was a highlight. Can't wait to bring the family next time! Cheers to more delectable adventures!

    The Congress Plaza Hotel offers stunning views of both the city and Lake Michigan, making for a truly unforgettable experience. The Belmont room provided the perfect setting for savoring a cocktail while soaking in the breathtaking cityscape. The hotel's historic charm and attentive staff added a welcoming touch to my stay, making me feel right at home in the heart of bustling Downtown Chicago.

    The long hallways in the hotel may require some extra walking, which can be a minor inconvenience for guests with mobility issues.

    Stayed in a recently updated room with a nice view of the lake. the bathroom was big and had everything we needed - a shower, hairdryer, and fluffy towels for a cozy experience. 🚿

    We had a fantastic time at Congress Plaza Hotel Chicago, with its perfect location near Lake Michigan, where we enjoyed long walks along the picturesque lakeside trail and spent sunny afternoons at the numerous beaches. The hotel's proximity to major sports venues and top-notch theaters made our family trip filled with entertainment and unforgettable experiences.

    My wife says that having a designated play area for children would have made our stay even more enjoyable, providing a dedicated space for kids to have fun and burn off energy after long days of sightseeing.
