The Midland Hotel, in Chicago, is a 4 star luxury hotel that caters to business travelers, has historical color, and features great views. The hotel caters to a hip crowd, can, on request, provide baby sitting, was recently renovated, is situated in the "loop" area, and provides free parking. What travelers said they loved: "the place", "the service", "the staff", and "the room". Those who recommend it say it's perfect for "business". Sleep connoisseurs described the bed as "hard", "comfortable", and "great". Guests found the service "helpful" and "friendly", but some also found it "disinterested". The hotel is near award winning restaurants, including The Italian Village Restaurants , The Ritz-Carlton Chicago/A Four Seasons Hotel , and Trattoria No. 10 . Also nearby: Art Institute of Chicago , Chicago School Of Professional Psychology , and Mundelein College Loyola Univ . Other local places to consider are Park Hyatt Chicago and Sutton Place Hotel.
In the heart of Chicago's downtown Loop, W Chicago - City Center puts you center stage for work and play. Our 369 guest rooms, including 12 suites and 47 mega-sized rooms, are equipped with a down-cushioned chaise, the W signature bed with a pillow-topped mattress, silky 350-thread count linens, goose down comforter and pillows, and an iridescent duvet cover. Seductive ristorante we, W's Tuscan-influenced restaurant, appeals to the eye and pleases the palate. At nightfall, a DJ spins tunes from the second-floor balcony bar, while W's eclectic, electric Whiskey Bar raises the curtain on nightlife as hot as the clientele. Free wireless access in our public spaces. With W Hotels, your wish is our command with our Whatever/Whenever service. We'll provide whatever you want, whenever you want it (really!).
Formerly the Midland Hotel, the renovated W retains its elegant gilded ceilings and inlaid tile floors. The dark, cushy lobby (nicknamed the Living Room) feels like a hip nightclub, with a resident DJ spinning...
