W Chicago Lakeshore - Property information

What to expect: Business travelers and younger vacationers appreciate the professional service and good choice of spots for mingling and relaxing, such as the indoor pool, the 33rd-floor Whiskey Sky bar, or the chic lobby bar, where margaritas are the specialty. The hotel's dramatic decor has a zen-like feel, with a mirrored waterfall behind the zig-zagged reception desk and smooth stones lining the corridors.
• Amenity highlights: Ingenious wooden shutters between bathrooms and bedrooms allow guests to glimpse views of the city or Lake Michigan even while brushing their teeth. The hotel's 24-hour “whatever, whenever” service means what it says: As long as it’s legal, guests may request just about anything, from a bottle of soda to a bottle of perfume, with no extra charge for delivery.
• Insider tip: A pedestrian tunnel leads under busy Lake Shore Drive to the lakefront path. Guests who enjoy a morning jog can catch the sunrise over the lake.

W Chicago Lakeshore - Dining information

• Wave - Several steps down from the lobby, this open-design restaurant serves a full breakfast and Mediterranean-influenced cuisine at lunch and dinner. The dress is business casual, the atmosphere is laid-back, and the decor is ultra-chic with leather seating in ivory and red. An elevated section along the wall of windows offers booth seating.
• Whiskey Sky - This dark, intimate lounge takes its name from its bird's-eye view of Chicago. Black is the prevailing fashion here, in keeping with the black-and-silver leather banquettes and black mohair club chairs. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, the city presents a fireworks show over Navy Pier on Wednesday and Saturday nights, and the bar provides an excellent vantage point.
