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."
Zagat4.2
"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 "Walk through the cobblestoned motor court that resembles a French chateau, and step into the striking lobby-you'll think you've died and gone to haute heaven at this grand dime."
Concierge "The Elysian, a 2009 arrival to Chicago's hotel scene, may be the most elegant boutique hotel to open in the city in years."
Fodor's "The elegant roms are furnished with platinum- and champagne-color palettes and textured wallpaper; and most of the marble-covered bathrooms have a deep soaking tub." Full review

Zagat4.7
"This “grand” Gold Coast outpost is the “ultimate in luxury” and gets “10 stars” from fans for its “subtle style”, “exceptional service” and “impeccable attention to details.”"
Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Waldorf Astoria Chicago, which was until recently The Elysian hotel, is an Art Deco jewel inspired by the style of Coco Chanel." Full review
Frommer's "The lavishness continues inside the hotel, which you could call “French manor-style,” but “palatial” is more accurate." Full review
