The Scene – Once a Days Inn, Chicago's second W Hotel dramatically improves this gold mine of realty along Lake Shore Drive. The "Living Room" (the lobby), facing Lake Michigan and Navy Pier, is softly lit with recessed floor and ceiling lights and candles.

High Class Hotel
by djkk83 at Citysearch
This is one of my favorite Hotels to stay at in Chicago
The music that is played throughout the building is soothing. It relaxes you as soon as the doors open.
The service was great, Ray really came through with stuff to do.
Awesome place to stay.

nice place, but not the best
by coreypatrickky at Citysearch
I've stayed at the W and have been there for parties many, many times for work and social. I feel like they are really consistent with their service (overall), but I feel like they hire the best looking people too. Is it just me? My girlfriends and I are obsessed with this one bartender that works there. Also, I think it's a great place to network professionally in the city. I've been in about 4 of their suites and they are nice, but I've been in nicer. Overall, I would recommend this place.

Trendy
by okichich at Citysearch
The hotel is in a perfect location and is the definition of trendy. You feel like a million dollars when you are there, even if it is just for one night. The bar on the top floor is quite small however.
- Pros: outstanding views from both sides
- Cons: top floor bar is too small
