The Bar/Lounge at W Chicago - City Center

"The lobby bar is a stylish spot to sit and pose amid dance music and cocktail waitresses who look like models"

"The scene at W's Lake Shore Drive location is even livelier, with a sizzling rooftop lounge (à la Gerber), the stylish Wave Restaurant, and the beach, bike paths, and Navy Pier just outside (644 N"

"The soaring 'living room' (lobby/bar) feels a little like a dance club, especially when the bass-heavy music gets pumping"

"On-site venues include IPO, which serves "new urban cuisine," and the Living Room Bar"

"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, whether business travelers or scenesters; “contemporary”, "chic" rooms “can be on the small side” but are “well set up for business” and boast the W signature “comfortable” beds, and the “top-notch” bar and restaurant offer a “relaxed atmosphere” for after-work drinks"

"Inside, you're bathed in pulsing light, often purple, which turns the lobby lounge into a nightclub, complete with techno-trance music that creates the hotel's legendary vibe"

"The hotel has an on-site restaurant, a lively bar and lounge, a host of meeting and event rooms, a business center, and a modern gym"

"Two bars are located just off the lobby: Living Room Bar, a communal bar with seasonal cocktail menu and small bites; Side Bar, a smaller bar, features its own selection of signature Chicago-inspired cocktails, local beers, and wine"
