The Congress Plaza Hotel, Chicago



Cheryl arranged for me to stay at the Congress Plaza Hotel.
I liked this hotel built back in 1893 for the World Columbian Exhibition in Chicago.
You can read about the history of the hotel and go on a photo tour.
You can of course make reservations, if you so like.
The location on South Michigan Avenue was very convenient.
We walked to the Chicago Cultural Centre and the Millenium Park.
The Loop, the downtown urban trains were close to the hotel.
The two hour tour of downtown Chicago on a double decker, started near the hotel.
The hotel is situated opposite a long and wide belt of parks, with Lake Michigan of the other side of the parks.
