About the Hotel
7.9Average Rating
Standing on the edge of Lake Michigan, The Wade puts you right in the thick of Chicago's most electric stretch of shoreline. Navy Pier is practically at your doorstep, and the legendary Magnificent Mile is a short ride away, making this four-star hotel a strong base for both first-time visitors and those who know the city well. The contemporary guestrooms are well thought out, with flat-screen TVs and the kind of soft featherbeds that make it genuinely difficult to set an alarm. For guests who need them, accessible facilities are available throughout the property, and parking is on-site — a real convenience in a city where street parking can be a battle.
Mornings at The Wade have a satisfying rhythm. The fitness center is modern and well-equipped, ideal for burning off the previous night's indulgences before the day begins in earnest. When you're ready to eat, Current Chicago — the hotel's in-house restaurant — serves seasonal Italian cooking that changes with what's fresh and local. The lake views from your table are genuinely impressive, and the selection of microbrews and boutique wines makes it easy to linger. Room service is available for those evenings when you'd rather eat in, glass of wine in hand, watching the city lights reflect off the water.
Beyond the hotel, Ohio Street Beach is moments away for a lazy afternoon in the sun, and Northwestern University's campus offers a pleasant, leafy detour for a morning walk. Willis Tower and the broader cultural sweep of the city are all within reach, but you may find the pull of the bar downstairs and that view of the lake is competition enough.
