Frommer's "If you're the loll-around-in-bed type, this is a great place to do it; the super-comfy beds feature cushiony pillow-top mattresses, soft duvets, and mounds of pillows." Full review
Concierge "Details from the former 1929 Beaux Arts gentleman's club can be seen in the lobby's vaulted arches and gold-leaf ceiling, although a 2009 renovation added thoroughly modern touches."
Lonely Planet "Employees all wear black at this hip hotel where the soaring ‘living room’ (lobby/bar) feels a little like a dance club, especially when the DJ gets going." Full review

"The 368-room W City Center features a funky blend of neoclassical and modern design styles." Full review
Time Out "This stunning Beaux Arts building, which started out as a private men’s club in 1929, has been transformed into one of Starwood’s sleek W Hotels." Full review
Star Service "This trendy design-conscious icon appeals to the yuppie in all of us, an edgy, attitude-prone, design-driven commercial house, pitched to young up-and-comers." Full review
Gayot "Recreated as a luxury hotel in 2002, and expanded with 35 new guest rooms in 2012, this property sits in the heart of Chicago's well-known Loop business district, near Willis Tower."
BlackBook "Stylish rooms with 250 thread-count sheets, wraparound couches, a CD library, and W spa robes prepare you for high-end hobnobbing at people-watching mecca Whiskey Blue."

"This "swank", “trendy” choice in the usually staid Loop looks “more like a nightclub than a hotel”, with a “funky vibe” that's “geared toward a young” clientele."
Fodor's "With a lobby that feels like a club, and spacious high-tech rooms done up in graphite and cream, this financial district hotel welcomes a lively crowd along with business travelers." Full review

Michelin Guide "No detail is overlooked... The Peninsula Spa offers a temple of serenity in the heart of the Gold Coast."
Concierge "The 339 rooms at this swank Gold Coaster, aptly located next to Tiffany, are patrician and huge... Avoiding flash for understated glamour, they glow in a fitting palette of soft golds."
Fodor's "On weekend nights the Peninsula's soaring lobby lounge becomes a sweet fantasia, centered on an overflowing chocolate buffet." Full review
Insight Guides "Book a family fun package at this swanky Far East-inspired spot, or zero in on available perks, such as PlayStations, coloring books, and board games."
