Hotel
We love the W for its swanky vibes, architectural nods to the city where we met and fell in love, wonderful fitness amenities, spa, and pool. The rooms have a moodier aesthetic and have extraordinary views of the city. The W and Element are both new properties (opening in the last 5 years) housed in the same building, with the W occupying the higher floors and the Element on the lower floors. Both hotels are only a two-block (3 min) walk from the Union League.

We love the Element for its bright and sunny rooms, kitchenettes, friendly service, and convenience. The rooms are full of natural light and offer many of the conveniences of home. The W and Element are both new properties (opening in the last 5 years) housed in the same building, with the W occupying the higher floors and the Element on the lower floors. Both hotels are only a two-block (3 min) walk from the Union League.
