4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

Travelled for work - check in staff super friendly. Nice room, plenty of space - room didn't feel constraining as many do. Only downside was the overlaid TV system and remotes are poor - frequently had to push buttons dozens of times to get TV to turn on, to get off the preview channels to turn off - these systems...

“Great Hotel for Central Chicago”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 days ago NEW

I was a party of 10 staying in Chicago for a birthday party over 5 days. We found the hotel great! It was central, clean, had a great bar downstairs and was handy for all local amenities. The staff were great too! I'd stay there again

We had a terrific stay at W Chicago. The lobby has a great vibe and set the tone for a great weekend visit. Our accommodations were comfortable and chic, and I really liked the Bliss amenities in the room. The staff members we encountered could not do enough to make sure our stay was exceptional.

“Less than neutral experience”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 days ago NEW

Over the past four years I've stayed over 500 nights in various Marriott and SPG hotels; I've never written a review. This hotel was 2/5 for me. Nothing was terrible but everything was underwhelming. I'm just going to list my observations in point form: - the checkin process was speedy but the front desk didn't make you feel like they... More

I left an iPad in the room and Omar Pereda was kind enough to take care of the situation and keep it safe. The Hotel was neat and well placed but most of all , I always like to be able to say thank you. Thank you Omar.

“A disappointing stay”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago

While I generally have had positive experiences in W hotels, the one in the Loop in Chicago has always managed to disappoint a bit. The concierge is frequently unavailable ("leave a message"), requests for a room on an upper floor are ignored (with excuses), internet is charged and expensive (for a stay at over $500 per night). While these are... More

The hotel and hotel room was very nice (clean and well kept) and very equipped for business travelers. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Only downside, my room was right by the ice machine room and a mechanical room. I was woken up every hour or so throughout the night due to various noises coming from those rooms. I asked... More

    Staying in Downtown / The Loop

    Neighborhood Profile
    Downtown / The Loop
    Often visitors' first stop in Chicago, The Loop is a good starting point to sample the city's energy and flavor. This central business district boasts Michelin-rated restaurants, upscale hotels, premier shopping, and enough arresting architecture to keep your camera busy for hours. You won’t find too many photo galleries of downtown Chicago without a shot of Millennium Park and Cloud Gate (“The Bean”), one of the most iconic landmarks in the city. A stunning skyline coupled with cultural attractions like the Art Institute of Chicago present a Downtown where work and play peacefully coexist.
