We stayed at the W Lakeshore the second weekend in August for three nights. All in all, it was a pleasant--but relatively average--hotel experience. Positives *Cool Decor *Great Bliss spa products in the room *Staff was helpful--when someone cut in front of us in the check-in line, we complained to the staff and were given free drink coupons *The "Whenever,... more

My husband and I stayed at the W for one night and had a good stay. The room view was fair...not of the lakefront though which was disappointing. Although the bathroom setup has taken quite the beating on these reviews my husband and I loved it. It was different from any where else we've ever stayed. Overall the room was... more

We are starwood preffered guest members and got a rate of 129 for a saturday night so we jumped on it for a quick getaway. We arrived to a 7th floor lakefront view and a great little room. The hotel looked really nice. The lobby was really cute, as most W's are, and the gym looked amazing. Pool didn't look... more

For the past five years we have booked 3-4 rooms at the W-lakeshore for our yearly (sometimes bi-yearly) shopping vacations. We love the view, and the atmosphere, and the location. We are always catered to and the service is very kind. The hotel rooms are cleaned and well cared for. And if we want an upgrade they almost always upgrade... more

I stayed at the W Chicago Lakeshore while traveling for business during a packed convention week. The hotel is very modern and exactly what you would expect from a W hotel. The room had dark furnishings and the most comfortable bed with tons of pillows. The bathroom was modern yet compact with an interesting french door window opening to the... more

This hotel is recommended for young couples looking for an energetic hotel with club scene and trendy bar. The hotel is contemporary with flare. Beware the room bathrooms do not have doors for privacy, only shutters that do not lock, so if you are a private person request the handicap room. Location is awesome. Walking distance to the Navy Pier... more

My wife and I spent two nights at W Lakeshore. This was the first time I have ever stayed at a W hotel. We both had a wonderful time. Lobby: The Lobby was great, we arrived at 3:30 p.m. local time and there was no wait. Desk help was very helpful explaining anything we needed to know about the hotel.... more

I took a friend of mine to Chicago for a night of R&R and we would most certainly go back! Although I read a lot of poor reviews when doing my online research I still chose the W for various reasons. Fortunately, I realize a majority of those who post here are completely disgruntled and need a place to vent..... more

We just returned from a trip to Chicago, where we stayed at the W Lakeshore. The location of the hotel is pleasant, overlooking (as its name suggests) beautiful Lakeshore Drive and Lake Michigan. The atmosphere, especially downstairs, is about what you might expect from W properties, a veneer of swankiness complimented by thumping techno music and a bar scene that... more

We stayed in what is billed as a "spectacular room" The view certainly was.. The room.. stylish but small for 300 night. The lounge downstairs had only one server the night we went and the concierge left early as well, There was a skeleton crew pretty much everywhere after 10. We enjoyed the atmosphere, ie furnishings, but this hotel needs... more
