"The city’s second W hotel has come a long way from its previous incarnation as a Days Inn. The hotel has a sleek, casually expensive décor."

"The late 19th-century Arts and Crafts style is evident outside and in, with wrought-iron pieces adding accents to the comfortable (if slightly dated) decorations in each room."

"This beauty sits right on Jeweler's Row, two blocks from the Art Institute of Chicago and one block from shopping on State Street."
