Sheraton Chicago has a Club Lounge, although not terribly impressive. Cheese, fruit, and warm pasta were available during my stay. All club rooms have LCD TV.
After seeing the club lounge at Westin Arlington Gateway, it's going to be hard for a property to top that.

Sheraton Chicago has a club lounge that is on 2 levels but there was hardly anyone there during my previous stay. As previously stated, the food selection is not very impressive. This is also the first US property (that I am aware of) which charged a fee ($14.95) for a guest accompanying a Platinum member to the lounge.

Stay at the Westin River North. IIRC they just redid their Club Lounge recently, and it's generally acceptable. All rooms are nice there, even if the Club Level is full.

Apparently they do. You can book a club level room now, so I'm assuming that there is a club. I'd be interested in hearing about experiences with the club.

The Westin Chicago River North does have a "club" Lounge (Westin Executive Club).
Here's a picture of it from SPG.com:

Did you do a search? 
Seriously, in case you didn't know, if you know the individual who posted something just click on their name to the left and then select the "find more posts by.." option or you could do an advanced search and use some key words along with the members name.

Will be in ORD for the weekend, and the rates at this prop. were, as one post put it, "alarmingly low." Which, sometimes means "alarmingly book somewhere else" or...and apparently in this case...."alarmingly good."
