Three fun and not afraid to spend money gals heading to Chicago for a few nights. Should we stay at the James, Conrad or W Lakshore? We want a trendy boutique hotel where there will be good cocktails and stylish people.
Please help, they all three look cool!
The James or Conrad or W Lakeshore
I%26#39;ve stayed at the Conrad and loved it, but it%26#39;s not really a boutique hotel. It%26#39;s also stylish and modern, but not really edgy and chic. It was quiet there, and the bar was small, too. A good hotel for romance, but perhaps not for a girls weekend. Just my two cents.
Just based on what I have seen and read, the James might be your best bet. It is very chic and cool, and I believe it%26#39;s more of a boutique type of place.
I don%26#39;t think you can go wrong with either of your three choices.
The James or Conrad or W Lakeshore
The James will fit the bill.
The W is a bit more isolated than the other two. You%26#39;d be about 4 blocks east of the concentration of shops and restaurants along Michigan Avenue whereas the Conrad overlooks the Mag Mile and The James is one block west of Michigan.
Thank you all for your responses, the James it is!!
That was my top choice so I am happy to see that you all agree!
If I am too late, sorry. The Sofitel would fill this bill too. We%26#39;ve stayed at the James twice and really liked it (see my review), but Sofitel and Le Bar (the house bar) have a slight edge, IMO, in hipster chic. Locals will deride it for its Viagra Triangle location (Gold Coast) but we have greatly enjoyed our four stays at the Sofitel - including our 10th wedding anniversary.
Good luck!

The James is the best for you--they have a really nice bar scene: chic, trendy people drinking martini%26#39;s, or appletini%26#39;s or whatever the martini du jour is.....
