I wonder if the newspaper made a mistake and it's actually Starwood Capital? Otherwise wouldn't it just be a W? What other boutique brand does Starwood own?

According to the Starwood (Hotels & Resorts) press release earlier today, this is supposed to be a Sheraton, but it will have some unique aspects to it.

I've never come across a McD in a *wood property, but many of them certainly have a Starbucks.
Cheers,
Could they mean, on the property site, yet not physically inside the hotel itself.
That is probably a mixed use zoned area. I'm not an architect or engineer, but perhaps the hotel is above the McDonalds? Or the McDonalds is somehow built into the building with its own separate entrance?

i actually wouldn't mind being able to order a big mac meal via room service (and get points for them too)

The only reasonable space across the street from Wrigley Field where one could build a hotel without razing a lot of existing "stuff" just happens to have an existing McDonalds on it. I wouldn't be surprised if it all has something to do with each other.
Starwood also announced today the Ricketts family has signed an agreement to develop a boutique hotel affiliated with the Sheraton brand across the street from Wrigley Field.
.....
The exterior design and décor of the hotel will be a one-of-a-kind collaboration, which will be uniquely designed to fit within the current neighborhood landscape and community.
"Once we know how we can save Wrigley Field, the Ricketts Family is looking forward to the opportunity to build a hotel across the street. It could complement the neighborhood and its establishments while also serving fans and tourists," said Ricketts Family spokesman Dennis Culloton. "Most importantly, building this hotel is a critical part of a more than $500 million plan to reinvest in Wrigley Field and the neighborhood. The family wants to create 800 construction jobs and 1,300 full-time jobs, preserve Wrigley Field as one of the top three tourist destinations in the state and grow the ballpark’s $650 million in annual economic impact to Chicago and the region."
....
The hotel will offer a prime location at the northwest corner of Clark and Addison and be a key anchor component of a large scale entertainment and retail development across from Wrigley Field. Walking distance to the numerous theaters, shops, restaurants, and bars in the Lakeview community, the hotel will be just 15 minutes from the Magnificent Mile and the Chicago Loop providing fans and visitors with additional and desired lodging on the North side outside of Cubs baseball games.
Otherwise wouldn't it just be a W? What other boutique brand does Starwood own?
Is W supposed to be a boutique hotel ? Not aware of any W hotel which falls under the boutique category but there are several Luxury Collecion which does.

Great! As a former Chicago area resident with my family still living in the suburbs this is great news. I can see myself taking my neices and nephews to a game and staying overnight enjoying the lounge access!

The full press release I read does clearly say it will be affiliated with Sheraton.
