W Bellevue

Located in Lincoln Square on the lower 13 floors of a 41-story residential tower, this hip, urban environment features plenty of shopping and dining choices. Guests planning to book a stay at this hotel should be very aware that it was designed and furnished to focus on the young and young at heart—from its high-energy lobby, open lounge area with deejay booth, unisex restrooms and open-concept guest room where the shower and vanity area are clearly visible to the entire room. Rooms with two beds have sliding doors to provide some privacy in the bathroom area. The hotel was designed with a "deconstructed" lake house theme in mind. My favorite area is the outdoor covered patio, which has porch swings and a gas fireplace. Smoke free premises. 245 units. 41 stories, interior corridors.
