Fresh from a $38 million restyle, the 33-floor W Chicago Lakeshore is the only hotel in Chicago directly overlooking Lake Michigan. Here, business meeting and incentive guests get more than just unparalleled views. They can lounge lakefront on the seventh-floor Wet Deck, linger over intimate Italian cuisine at restaurant Current, hear beats by Chicago's hottest DJs in the Living Room, rejuvenate in the 9,600-square-foot Bliss Spa, or hit nearby sites like Navy Pier and the shops of the Magnificent Mile.
An equally impressive set of options greets meeting and corporate event planners. More than 13,700 square feet of cutting-edge conference facilities include 16 event rooms, including Altitude, the rooftop banquet room. Whether it's a quiet meeting of the board or the social event of the season, the W Chicago Lakeshore provides the space and the service to make it a success.

Recommendation to Planners:
We had a few pop-up meetings while we were on property and the hotel team handled them as if they had been planned from the start. The accommodations were a little too "hip" for some of our guests, but were a pleasant surprise for most.
