Known as “Chicago’s front yard,” the park sits on 319 acres in the city’s central business district. The area, which is bordered on the east by Lake Michigan, was originally named Lake Park when it was founded in 1847. It was renamed to honor President Ulysses S. Grant in 1901. There are many outstanding features that can be found throughout this downtown green space. The Buckingham Fountain, inspired by the Latona Fountain at the Palace of Versailles, is the centerpiece of the park. Millennium Park, located at the northwestern corner of the grounds, is where you’ll find the Jay Prtizker Pavilion. The Art Institute of Chicago is located on the western edge of the park, and the Chicago Lakefront Trail runs along the park’s eastern edge. Throughout the years, many notable events have taken place here. The park was the staging ground for funeral procession for President Abraham Lincoln in 1911. In 1979, Pope John Paul II delivered an outdoor mass to a large crowd here. And in 2008 the park was the site where President Barack Obama delivered his Election Day victory speech. The park also hosts some of Chicago’s biggest festivals, including the Taste of Chicago, the Grant Park Music Festival and the Chicago Blues Festival. If you’re planning to take a trip to Chicago to visit Grant Park, hotels in the area provide rest and relaxation after a fun day of sightseeing. Reserve a room at one of the local Choice Hotels to enjoy warm hospitality, convenient locations and great value during your stay.
