luxury hotel in Chicago?

Which of the following is the most impressive hotel?

The Fairmont
The Drake
Westin Michigan Ave.
W Hotel, Lakeshore

I'm fairly indifferent myself, but I will be visiting Chicago this
winter and I want to impress a woman (in her late 20s, about whom I am
very much not indifferent), so any help would be appreciated. Money
isn't really an issue, but I also don't want to be silly, so I've left
off some of the more exotic options.

Those are my top 4 choices. I can also pick from House of Blues, Omni
Chicago, Amalfi and Millenium Knickerbocker. Thanks to all!

I would say the Fairmont is the nicest, but the Drake is the most
impressive. The W is more chic, but for your purposes I would choose
the Drake's old-line elegance and unbeatable location.

Too bad the Palmer House wasn't on the list. Anyhow, I agree that the
Fairmont is the nicest and the Drake is the most impressive; however,
I've heard that many of the rooms in the Drake are fairly small - just
a bit of warning if you choose to stay there. I always stay with
friends or family when I'm in Chicago, so I haven't actually stayed at
any of these places, but I've walked in/through all but the W on
several occasions.

anyone else find it funny when someone says, money isnt an issue, but
they dont want to be silly?

It is silly you are trying to impress a girl with a hotel room, at
your age........

Drake is a little threadbare.
Westin is always good, not "luxurious."
W is great but a bit out of the way.

If you're such a hotshot, then you should stay at the Peninsula or the
Four Seasons.
