The Congress Plaza Hotel is a hotel on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, across from Grant Park. Opened by R.H. Southgate just before the 1893 World’s Fair,[1] the hotel has hosted numerous US Presidents and a wide range of political and cultural events. The hotel is frequently claimed to be one of the most haunted buildings in Chicago.[2][3][4]
The hotel is not currently affiliated with any national chain. Since 2012 it has been owned by a joint venture of New York investment firms.[5]
