The best hotel in which I have stayed. The staff is very friendly & helpful. Throughout the day, you'll hear the sounds of birds , a bubbling brook, & other nature sounds quietly piped into the hall.

Norman Ellis

King room is amply sized. Beautiful views from 2001. Be mindful if your room is over the train you will hear it. As a New Yorker it didn’t bother me. If you’re from the burbs it may freak you out.

Carol Cecil

Guests of theWit can goto The Roof for free. Great views and cocktails . Also spring for a room on a higher floor it will get you up above the noise and you will have a great view .

Michael Colasso

Ask for a suite ending in "04", the views are incredible..and the little things like birds chirping in the morning make this hotel so special. OH and the rooftop bar can't be beat. Get Duck Fat Fries .

Stella

OMG the cookies !! Don't forget to ask for yours. And love the chirping birds in the hallways, very nice way to start and end your day.

Shermans Travel

The Phoenix Lounge , with a menu of classic cocktails , a reader-friendly wine-list (“Lush Red”, “Buttery White”), Mediterranean-inspired dishes and live acoustic sets from local artists is great. Read more

So Lux Med Spa

I feel like I can conquer the world when I look over Chicago with a martini in my hand and the wind in my hair. The views at this rooftop bar can't be beat, and neither can the people watching .

Mitchell S

Gorgeous hotel ! After enjoying the view from the rooftop , I took a tour of the city with Echo Limousine. The driver showed me an excellent view from the observatory .

Matt Thompson

The mayor has left the building. People....come and check into this wonderful place! Beautiful rooms, delightful staff , and a rooftop second to none. Oh how I will miss thee. Goodbye my love.#1BELLMAN

Good central location and decent size rooms. Rooftop bar is nice as well and good free breakfast if you are Diamond status.

Brad Mays

My home away from home through the move from Austin. And an easy walk to the Edelman office in most types of weather.

Radim SVOBODA

Ask for rooms at upper levels. It's closer to the amazing roof top bar , views get better and you hear less of the traffic outside!

Patrick Finley (@pjfinley)

Very nice hotel . Great staff and the Roof at the Wit is a must for a local or one visiting. Love the Wit!

Best breakfast in state lake tavern. Have the salmon Edda Benedict. They smoke the salmon on site.

Drinks are delicious , view amazing, service great

Lina Gonzo

Nice "Charge Points" in the front lobby! They come in really handy! Like! Like! Like!

Sanjay Gupta

This is a fun, sexy spot where I had an awesome first date (thanks Jennifer). I had such a good time, I decided to get a room to get away from the grind of daily life and hosted a bachelor party.

jiresell

Nice hotel and a great location. Walk to Millennium Park or Michigan Avenue shopping.

Larisa Grollemond

Great hotel in a great location, really nice service at the front desk, and clean rooms .

Mack Erman™

Unique "experience-motivated" makes every little thing count: yo-yo on turndown, a cologne spray sample snuck into your toiletries, birds chirp in the halls during the day and crickets at night. Fun.

Robin Oldham

Turn your room key over for a neat map of the downtown Chicago grid.

Michael Sheehan

Great location, hit the rooftop and enjoy all the spots close by

Derich

Very cool hotel ! This hotel is where VH1's "MOBWIVES CHICAGO" filmed ! Leah DeSimone from the show is a very good friend of mine!

Terry B

Excellent hotel . Reminded me of a vegas room with glass showers , deep soaking tub, and walls of windows. I was lucky enough to get a corner room . They even do turnback service.

theWit Hotel

My lobby automates the use of multiple lighting fixtures through a daylight sensor and astronomical time clock, setting the mood between day and night and allowing the efficient use of electricity.

Mandy Hall Scheiern

Great place to stay in Chicago! Beautiful hotel and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly !

Juicy Couture

The heavenly beds and the chic modern décor of the rooms in this boutique hotel make it a must-stay (or staycation if you’re local).

Daniela DB

Nice minimalist decor.. Love the background relaxing sounds

Jay S

Great Staff , Always helpful and great Service even for this Raleigh NC Realtor

Rebecca G

Ask for a "spa" room - it has a bigger bathroom with tub and shower . Rooms on main hallway off the elevator overlook the train . But as long as you're on a higher floor you'll be fine.

Andrew

The rooftop bar has amazing views .

Pierre Séguin

Lovely hotel but not the best equipped gym . Plan for cardio and light dumbbells.

David A.

Try to get a rate that includes breakfast at State & Main. Delicious!

Jung-Ah Yum

cool ambiance, nice service.

Celeste Steele

If you are craving one of those delicious chocolate chip cookies , ask the front desk. They'll give it to you warm.

Shannon Jeropke

Their rooftop bar is iconic.

Jeffery Goodman Jr

This place is amazing. Bed so soft; has me sleeping like a baby.

Jaz Rakkar

rooftop is AMAZING worth a trip to Chicago all on its own.
