The Congress is my favorite place to stay in Chicago. The location is perfect an Steve the doorman makes everyone feel like a VIP. The architecture is beautiful, dating back to the time of the Chicago Exposition. It is easy to walk to most of the attractions that you came to Chicago to see from the Magnificent Mile to China Town.
