My wife and I stayed here and enjoyed our stay. We stayed in a Spectacular room, which has a view of the lake. i believe the wonderful room (one step down) do not have the lake view. The room was quiet, the bed was a little too soft for our liking and the decor was updated. The hotel hallways, elevator... More

Location is great - especially if you want to take the family to Navy Pier (or the beach in summer). Rooms are typical 'W'. The opening between the bathroom and sleeping area is a combo of 'chic' and slightly odd. Views are great. Parking is expensive, but it is Chicago. Pool is great. Has a deep end and was warm... More

I stayed at this hotel over New Years. The hotel is up to the "W" standards. The room was small, but modern and comfortable. The bathroom does not offer a lot of privacy. The hotel lobby bar and the bar on a higher floor, Whiskey Sky were both great for getting drinks. Nice lake views and views of Navy Pier.... More

Came here for business in early February. Staff was real nice and accommodating. Rooms for business receptions were nice but small for our group size. Got very loud. Food served at functions was good. Nice selection offered for non-meat eaters. Wave restaurant on the first floor was great. Choose the large plate options to share at dinner. The truffle French...

We've spent a couple of weekends at the W Lakeshore and the W City Center in Chicago. I will admit, I'm generally a Starwood loyalist - they usually have a property (Westin, W, or Sheraton) that fits our travel needs. In Chicago, this is my favorite Starwood property for a weekend visit. The Lakeshore location is great - you are... More

The W is not typically our first choice, especially since we travel with our three-year-old son and W doesn't really fall into the "family-friendly" classification. The W line also is typically modern and trendy - we're more old-world romantic, and not usually dressed like we're heading for a photo-shoot. We recently stayed at the W Chicago Lakeshore on a business... More

We stayed at the W lakeshore for one night 12/28. The main lobby and bar areas were very trendy and an inviting place to sit or relax. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. The fitness center was quite small, but enough to get a workout in. The rooms were well appointed with everything you would expect.... More
