Business Description from the Web
The lobby of the Westin Hotel seems ill suited for eating the fresh sushi prepared at a small bar off to one side. The menu is limited to the classic lineup of sushi and sashimi, with a few maki. If it's trying to pay homage to the former Hotel Nikko and adjacent Benkay Room, it falls short. Hotel guests don't seem to notice it exists as they sip their cocktails in the densely populated center...

In Short Not a full-blown restaurant, this location is a tiny six-seat sushi bar with a few tables in the Westin's airy, soothing Hana Lounge--perfect for corporate diners looking for a quick bite from one of Chicago's top Japanese restaurants. The sushi menu is smaller than at Kamehachi's other outposts, but you'll still find nigiri and maki favorites, from two dozen pieces...

Kamehachi's founder, Marion Konishi, belonged to a community of Japanese-Americans that immigrated to Chicago in the 1940s. Aspiring to bring the colorful customs of Japan to the streets of the Windy City, Konishi put her money where her mouth (and the era's bland Midwestern palate) was, and in 1967 treated Chicago to its very first sushi bar.

Great hotel, with TONS of amenities. I've stayed there several times when I'm traveling to Chicago, and I'd stay there again in a heartbeat!
Pros
+ WiFi, central location, great amenities
Cons
- NONE
I have stayed at many westin hotels, and this is one of the better. The rooms have the typical ammendities, but the service is outstanding and you are in a quality location. I would return because of the location, and the price is very reasonable for being right down town.. Quite a deal considering
This hotel was very very nice...it was extremely clean which i am notorious for being picky about and i loved it! THe staff was extremely friendly and curtious. The rooms were very roomy and the king size bed was unbelievably comfartable. I had a wonderful nights sleep. The sheets were goose down which was nice...starbux coffee to go ready for you in the morning in your room...a beautiful spa...
