"The 520-room W Chicago - Lakeshore delivers the chic decor you'd expect from a W, and the impressive features." Full review
Time Out "The city’s second W hotel has come a long way from its previous incarnation as a Days Inn. The hotel has a sleek, casually expensive décor." Full review
Star Service "A clubby verion of its Westin sibs in town, this sexy business hotel also works its magic on couples and fashionable singles that call this their home Friday-Sunday." Full review
Gayot "Formerly a budget hotel, this place was transformed into a sophisticated urban retreat in 2001."
BlackBook "This W hotel flaunts a tranquil, lake-side location and the hipper-than-thou lounge Whiskey Sky, located on the 33rd floor."
Zagat3.8
"This “chic” member of the W chain boasts views of the lake from the upper level nightclub and some guestrooms."
Lonely Planet "Lobby chairs appear to be carved out of tree trunks and river rocks fill a public bathroom troughlike sink… The earthy aesthetic feels entirely appropriate here on the lakefront." Full review
Lonely Planet "The hallways sport trippy glowing carpet that leads to your modern-design 'wonderful' (city view), 'spectacular' (lake view) or 'fabulous' room (lake view from a higher floor)." Full review
