Congress Plaza Hotel

Then: Built to accommodate visitors to the World’s Columbian Exposition in 1893, this hotel has since hosted numerous notables, and ghosts of former guests Franklin Roosevelt, Thomas Edison, and Frank Lloyd Wright are rumored to haunt the halls.

Now: Stellar location (adjacent to Grant Park, with views of Lake Michigan from several of its 850 rooms) and moderate prices make up for the fact that its service and amenities can’t compete with swankier Chicago institutions like The Drake.
