W Sensory Meetings
Introducing a new way to stir up your next meeting. Imagine being swept off your feet. By a meeting. That's the Sensory Set up experience at W Hotels. A new way to motivate minds and get ideas.

Mood music, aromatherapy scents, and thought-provoking placards set the tone. At their place settings guests find simple white lead pencils, lined black notepads and customized name cards. Plus a few fun touches, like red hots and other retro candies. At break time, ice water garnished with fruit or mint is at hand to refresh the spirit. It all adds up to a truly memorable meeting experience. Just enough to inspire. Nothing to distract. W Sensory Meetings.

The Space
Over 12,000 square feet of cutting-edge conference facilities await you. A complete selection of meeting amenities, including a business center, will keep you prepared for anything. Choose from 10 event rooms, including Altitude, the revolving rooftop banquet room. Here you can actually kneel against the diagonally-slanted windows for a most disconcerting view of things. The room will spin, and so will your head as you take in the changing panorama of Lake Michigan, the Navy Pier, and the glittering night skyline. Whether it's a quiet meeting for two or the social event of the season, we have the space and the service to make it a success.

The Technology
W Chicago - Lakeshore will hook you up. All meeting spaces are wired and waiting. Everything from video support and telephones to fax and Internet data ports. Just give us the word. We'll make it happen.
