W Chicago City Center Review

The couch-filled lobby and bar (nicknamed the Living Room) is a cozy meet-up space at this financial-district hotel that caters to a fairly hip crowd, including business travelers. The location is also good for those who want to also be near the Art Institute and Millennium Park. Rooms include desks, WebTV, and cordless phones.

    Hotel Details

  • 358 rooms, 12 suites.

    Don't stay here

    This hotel just can't get anything right, they think as long as you're cute you can work there, forget about competence. I've stayed there 2ce figuring it was a one time thing but no. One night room freezing cold, they send engineer up at 1 am who fiddles with thermostat and pronounces it fixed. Next night (new room) we are stuck at 85 degrees. Room service sends up soup without a spoon. And forget about sleeping if your room overlooks the EL (or get the ear plugs offered at the front desk). The wait service at the restaurant is awful. The gym is dirty. They never got back to me when I asked multiple times for an explantion. Etc., Etc., Etc. Stay at the W Lakeshore if you like the look of the W!
