The Congress Plaza Hotel Overview

The historic Congress Plaza Hotel and Convention Center provides a dazzling backdrop in the heart of downtown Chicago adjacent to Grant Park. Originally constructed in 1893, the stunning property is located along Michigan Avenue, providing unlimited access to the city’s finest retail stores, the bustling business district and offers breathtaking views of Grant Park and the lake beyond. Your nuptials will go down in history as you say “I do” in this iconic space, surrounded by the people you love. After your ceremony, a reception to remember unfolds in the Gold Room. Long considered one of the most magnificent banquet rooms in America, the Gold Room was restored in 1997 to its original splendor by Italian artist Lido Lippi, known for his work in the Sistine Chapel restoration. The shimmering gold leaf that adorns every corner of the room gives The Gold Room its moniker. With broad walls and an arched ceiling raised fifty feet above the floor, the room is rich with Italian Renaissance style and splendor. Under the twinkling illumination of gorgeous cluster lighting throughout the gallery, guests will fall under the spell of this magical and inviting atmosphere. A truly decadent and luxurious space fit for your unforgettable celebration.
