I came to the rooftop for Sunday brunch. We got there around 1:30 and were able to sit at a table before the reservations came. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was so good and the potatoes were awesome! The inside almost seems mashed but the skin was still on, buttery and delicious. I also got a French 75 with Hennessy that was perfect. We stayed for the day party and it got packed and was a great time. I'll be back! read more

Experience Review: A Disastrous Violation of Public Accommodation at the WiT Hotel Chicago It's a shame when a renowned establishment, like the WiT Hotel Chicago, known for its forward-thinking approach to real estate and innovation, falls so short of basic human decency. I never imagined that an event centered around joy--celebrating a birthday--could spiral into a story of denial, discrimination, and sheer frustration. Three individuals, each with their own plans, business and family commitments, made the necessary child care arrangements and cleared their schedules to attend a birthday party at the WiT Hotel. But instead of experiencing the celebration, they faced a stark violation of their basic rights. The WiT Hotel prides itself on being an innovator in the real estate industry--redefining the boundaries of old properties and creating exciting new spaces. But when it comes to inclusivity and community care, it seems this "innovation" doesn't extend to all of Chicago's citizens. These three individuals, one with disability, were denied access to the venue based on nothing more than their physical needs. This shocking breach of public accommodation law, specifically regarding disability discrimination, was not only disgraceful but downright unlawful. For an organization that touts its long-term investments and partnership with local businesses and communities, it is beyond disappointing to see the WiT Hotel show such disregard for the fundamental rights of its patrons. How can a company that claims to "work hand-in-hand with local stakeholders" ignore those in its community who require accessibility? Public accommodation laws exist to ensure that every individual--regardless of disability--has equal access to public spaces. But at the WiT Hotel, that right was stripped away with no warning and, worse, no remorse. These patrons were not only denied the chance to enjoy a simple birthday celebration, but they were also shown how little the WiT Hotel values the human dignity of those who rely on accessible services. The WiT Hotel's tagline speaks of "catering to the needs of the area," yet when it came time to cater to the needs of these individuals, they fell disastrously short. The actions of the hotel are not just a legal violation, but a missed opportunity to live up to their own values. If this is how the WiT Hotel treats the very community it claims to serve, then it has a long way to go before it truly innovates in the field of hospitality. It's time for a serious change. Let this be a blazing call to action: public accommodation violations cannot and should not be tolerated. The WiT Hotel needs to answer for its actions, and we all need to demand that no one is ever turned away because of a disability, not in this city, not anywhere. Of note: All three patrons are African-American. read more

We stayed at theWit towards the end of August 2023. We booked two queens but got upgraded to a suite because we are diamond status and they had availability. When they moved us up, they warned that we were close to the rooftop bar above and it could be loud. Because the club would only be open the first night we were there, we decided to tough it out. I turned out to be very loud so keep that in mind if you book the top floor suite. We wouldn't have been able to stand it for more than one night. The suite was nice. It was clean and the bathroom was spacious. The hotel location can't be beat. One block from the river, close to two L lines. Walking distance to lots of food and attractions. We had a nice daily food credit but we didn't take advantage of it because the food in the hotel restaurant wasn't very good. We did eat upstairs at the rooftop bar and the food and drinks were very good. They allow people under 21 up there before 9pm which is good to know. We were traveling with a teen and she got a kick out of the place. She thought it was fancy and loved the mocktails. The service in the hotel was excellent. One of the bellmen was so friendly: a young man named Nathan. He brought up our bags and told us all about the features of our room. Overall the service at the front desk was very helpful and friendly. One thing to keep in mind: the rooftop bar at this place is BUMPING on the weekends. We returned to the hotel on a Saturday night and they stopped and asked us if we were staying at the hotel because they were doing crowd control. Another night we came home and it was super crowded out front and then a fight broke out among the drunk bar crowd. Overall we had an excellent stay and would come back again. read more

The worst decision I made when planning my birthday party in December was deciding to stay at the Wit. I chose to stay here due to its close proximity to where I was hosting my birthday party. I stayed in a suite and it was quite lovely and the view was beautiful. However, that's where the positive aspects of this hotel end. As I mentioned before, it was my birthday and not only that, I have diamond status with Hilton. My husband called the hotel in advance and advised them that it was my birthday and we had also booked a table for 10 guests to join me upstairs at their rooftop after my party. He asked if they would do anything special for me when I arrived to the room. They offered a complimentary bottle of rosé. When we arrived to the suite there was no bottle of rosé. So of course my husband called down to ask about it again. He was given the run around about receiving it and said he would just pay for the bottle. They still did not bring it up to the room. Not only that, we requested toothpaste be brought up to the room because we had forgotten to bring it with us. It took five phone calls and about an hour later before it was ever brought to our room. I spoke to the manager regarding the horrible service and explained that it was my birthday. There was absolutely no apology and he didn't even bother to say happy birthday! Long story short, it was a terrible experience and I would highly recommend you reconsider staying at this establishment for any special occasion. read more

I stayed here for two nights while in town for a concert. Though there were multiple events in the area and the hotel was extremely busy, my stay was very smooth. From the valet to those working the front desk, everyone was EXTREMELY helpful and also friendly. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable and had everything I needed, including an empty mini fridge that allowed me to store all my meals. I highly recommend and I'd stay here again while in Chicago. read more

This was a decent hotel in the middle of downtown. I stayed here because a few friends recommended it and had a fairly decent time here but it had its pros and cons. Pros: Its a DoubleTree property so you get free cookies. The staff was nice and pleasant. The hotel has a nice rooftop lounge. Cons: Turn Down service is not done automatically. Instead you have to request it. I never needed full turn down service because I wasn't in my room much but I called the front desk and requested water. I was told that I would have go to downstairs for water or I would be charged. I think if visitors are not given turn down service then being delivered more water should be free. Additionally, I was never given water at check in because everything was done virtually (virtual key, room selection, etc.) and since water wasnt proactively placed in my room then it should at lease be delivered for free. Also, supplies in my room in general were scarce. I had no QR codes for a menu, I had barely enough toilet tissue and kleenex. Also, the hotel reached out to me before arrival for any requests but my requests weren't fulfilled. Lastly, I was not impressed with my room. It was mediocre compared to the nearby hotels even though it was more expensive than surrounding hotels. This would have been fine if the room were about $50 cheaper per night. Overall, I would not stay here again. I thought it would be convenient since they have the rooftop lounge but the hotel offers no lounge incentives for staying on the property and the elevators wont take you from your room to the lounge so its not even like you're saving steps by being in the hotel (I have a separate review for the lounge). I don't fault the staff for any of the flaws with the property. However, I do believe Hilton needs to change their policies to compete with other nearby hotels with more luxury experiences. read more

I must begin this saying that everyone, yes everyone we met that worked here was so nice and helpful. DeAndre our bellman, was very inviting and pleasant. A bright and helpful young man. Manager Robert immediately got busy helping us with our details of settling into the area. From the minute that we started our phone conversations with the gracious Briana about our reservations from home to the minute that we got to the front desk we felt we were valued customers. Located in the heart of downtown Chicago not far from the lake at all right next to the river with beautiful views from every room, we checked in and were shown wonderful attention. Our room was nicely furnished, with a beautiful view of the river through the river and extremely comfortable. I love this king-size bed. It's a great place if you want an ADA ready bathroom. Offering a 5 Star rooftop bar, it also has a nice restaurant and bar on the street level. Easily one of the best way best locations for my wife to want to work or from where we're visiting. We highly recommend staying here, it's comfortable and the people that work here are beyond courteous. read more

theWit Chicago, a Hilton Hotel - Every room ... a view. - Hotels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Definitely recommend the Wit to anyone visiting Chicago. Very central and lively location next to all transport and numerous attractions and restaurants. We usually just go to the rooftop but I recently got a room here for my birthday. The hosts were nice enough to put us up at a high level floor with a great view. The room was clean, spacious, and came with a fridge. Furniture in the room could be updated, but no big deal. Instead of going out, I decided it would be more convenient to have friends over at the hotel and go up to the rooftop (great idea especially in the winter/cold). If you're a guest, there's no cover charge. The staff was really friendly and they also gave my friends wristbands to go up without cover for anyone. Music and drinks were great upstairs. Pretty great experience :) read more

Pros: Great location nice, clean updated rooms great meeting spaces They pump bird noises in on the floors in the hallway which is cool Cons: crazy high prices, but this is to be expected $75 per day to park your car located right next to the train, so if you are noise sensitive it may be a challenge They won't clean your room unless you ask Pro tip: They are a Hilton property, so don't forget to ask for your points and get your goodies read more

This place is really cool! We went here after dinner for a few drinks and ended up staying for hours! We had 5 people in our party so they waived the minimum spend. Fantastic martinis and drinks all around. Great service and music. Lost my voice the next day from talking/screaming over the music, but it was worth the memories. read more

Don't stay here if you're working for a non-profit organization, like in higher education. The policy of this hotel is not to honor/accept the non-profit tax exempt certificate issued by the state of Illinois. Is it possible they're collecting the revenue from the customer and then not sending the collected tax revenue to the state? It's certainly possible. Twice their staff took my tax exempt certificate and said they'd escalate to management. Staff said that I would hear from the business office. This never happened. So not only is my tax exempt nonprofit organization overpaying, but this Hilton Hotel may be boosting its own profitability on the backs of organizations working in the service of the public good. Their staff seemed well-versed in sharing that their business doesn't accept tax exempt organization's certificates. Do yourself a favor and search for another hotel. Chicago has no shortage of good and great hotels. Even if you're traveling for pleasure or work in the for profit space, there's no reason to support a bad actor. read more

Very nice hotel close to everything! Stayed in a king room with a river view. Room was spacious with everything I needed. The room design/decor wasnt really the same vibe as the bathroom which I haven't seen before. the bathroom appears to be fairly new, absolutely gorgeous! the room itself was fine but didn't wow me like the bathroom. clean, quiet & comfortable bed. I would return. Hotel restaurant was good. read more

theWit Chicago, a Hilton Hotel - Room view at night - Hotels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My husband and I were in town celebrating our 18th Anniversary. We wanted to be centrally located near shopping, restaurants and entertainment so we booked our stay at theWit. Upon arrival we noticed that there was not any parking so we had to use one of the parking structures. Parking is not cheap! The first lot we were at charged us $35 for 3 hours. When we checked in one of the customer agents told us about an app that would help us find good parking rates during our stay. The hotel also offers valet for about $75 a day. The room was clean and very comfortable. They have a restaurant on the ground floor that serves delicious but pricy options. We had a delicious and filling breakfast. When using the elevator make sure you have your key card or Hilton app handy...you have to use it to unlock the elevator. Overall it was an enjoyable stay. The staff was kind and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. read more

I paid upfront for my 2 night stay. Side note they have a $25 fee that you are forced to spend at the hotel as a credit or it will be debited. This has to be illegal. However I didn't use a thing at the hotel ... could not even get the coffee machine set up. However when I checked out they charged me $188. I called and they agreed to refund $188. I subsequently discovered they charged me an additional $70. I'm still awaiting feedback. This is a pattern with Hilton hotels to cheat and hope you never notice. Appalling. read more

I went to the hotel this evening. Friends of mine had a reservation who were visiting Chicago the Hispanic guy with tattoos down his neck, was so rude and disrespectful.

Amazing room and atmosphere!. State and lake was also amazing!. We had a little bit of a rough start due to housekeeping with the room. But the experience staying here beat it out of the park.

As a Diamond member, I chose TheWit Hotel for a relaxing stay in a spa suite to celebrate my birthday. After serving as caregiver to my late father, I was looking forward to celebrating my birthday with a healing & relaxing stay. It was cold that evening in Chicago and the experience during my birthday was disappointing due to being checked into a room with temperature controls that did not work at the time. I had reservations, but I decided to give theWit another try. Upon entry, the staff greeted me with kind words and smiles. Carrie made me feel welcome during the check-in process. I checked into the room and was relieved to find the temperature controls fully functioning. The corner suite itself was clean with floor to ceiling windows presenting gorgeous views of the loop. The well-lit bathroom had a separate tub and shower, as well as a window for taking in the city during a relaxing bath. I appreciated the modern fixtures and furnishings and the bed was comfortable. I also took a few meetings from the room, so the WiFi was adequate. As far as location, the hotel is central to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Overall, I enjoyed my stay as it was peaceful and I will return. If you're looking for a Hilton experience in Chicago, I recommend trying theWit. read more

Comfortable bed, air conditioning that doesn't shuit off in the mide.of the night, and a very quite room where you can easily drift off to sleep. The view is nothing to write home about - overlooking a parking lot/ office building, but I'll take that if it means peace and quite during the night..The shower was a walk in - easy in & out- and comfortable..my onlt complaint is the lighting in the bathroom was very dim and made it hard to apply makeup and ensure you didn't have a clown face. read more

Was very happy with my stay. Courteous staff, comfortable, clean, and accommodating. The cardio equipment was great and plentiful. Highly recommend for your next stay in the area. read more

It was very clean hotel, the staff was very helpful and friendly. If you stay, I would recommend a room ending with an even number, you will have a nicer view of the city. The valet was very convenient. I would recommend. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the breakfast room service. I was given a $50 credit to use for breakfast if I ordered to the room, only down side is they applied a $4.50 "tray charge" and a 24% service charge. I paid extra for the theater package to stay at the hotel and have credits for dining, but I did not expect charges on roomservice when that was all I was offered. I wouldn't recommend the theater package, you can save your money and go other places read more

theWit Chicago, a Hilton Hotel - View from room - Hotels Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

We've stayed at theWit Chicago multiple times. It's the perfect location if you're going to the a show at The Chicago Theater or anywhere in the Theater District. This hotel is a Hilton property and you can access your room with a digital key bypassing the front desk. The rooms are very clean and well equipped with drawers to put your clothes. One of my pet peeves is when I stay in a room and have no drawers to put my clothes in. The bed is very comfortable and the towels are thick and plush. They provide plenty of towels, too. There is no iron/ironing board in the room, but the steamer they provide is excellent. There are plenty of restaurants around the area and things to do. I would use Spot Hero to save money on parking as there's a garage 300 feet away. I highly recommend this Hilton property for its location and cleanliness. read more

Well worth a visit! read more

Lovely place, would return. Great location. (This post needs 85 characters and I don't feel like talking more)

Great hotel location and great price. There's a club upstairs that seems to be very popular but we never made it as we were too tired when we got back from our daily adventure. Have to check it out next time. If you can request a room on the backside of the hotel so you dont have to hear the train pass by. But if you can't try getting on the side of the hotel. We were on the side and we heard the train the first night which woke me up but by the second night it didn't bother me and I slept thru it. The hotel seems recently updated and the staff and nice and very helpful. Great value! read more

The Wit! The Wow! What a great hotel and an awesome visit! Carrie and Eric, both front desk managers, were fantastic... professional and yet so welcoming - we were treated as VIPs from the moment we entered the front door. As Diamond members we have questioned our loyalty to the Hilton brand due to lack of recognition and benefits at many properties. The Wit exceeded our expectations in every way. The food, the view, the people, the room, the location... perfect. We loved our stay and love this hotel. We will return. read more

We stayed at the Wit based off a friend's recommendation for a quick 24 hours in a Chicago. At first glance, the hotel looks upscale and high class. They are in process of renovating which you can see some of the upgrades throughout the hotel. From the start, the service was great! We used their valet service, which is $75 for 24 hours. It's definitely worth it if you don't want to have to try and find parking! You even get unlimited in and out access. However, the check in and out process wasn't so smooth. We tried checking in through the app, but was told you had to stop by the front desk for identity verification. Then 2 days after check out, they called to ask if we were still on site. We told them no, we checked out via the app. We were told they were having app issues and would make sure we weren't charged for the additional night. The rooms were clean and very modern. Considering we weren't in the room much, it worked for what we needed. Moral of the story, it's right in the middle of everything but the hotel has some work to make it a 5 star. read more

We had an excellent stay at theWit during a recent trip to Chicago. We've sort of completely lost our shit since traveling has opened up again and have already stayed in a number of different cities and different hotels. We've stayed in all normally high expectation chains but have been very disappointed and I'm starting to wonder if an exceptional hotel stay was a lost art. Fortunately theWit gave me hope again. This was the best hotel experience we've had in a while. TheWit is perfectly located in Downtown Chicago, literally 2 blocks from the Chicago river and a million restaurants and bars. We arrived early, at around 9am, on an early flight and I was worried that we wouldn't be able to check in. We work nights and had been up all night the night prior so we wanted to take a nap ASAP. The minute that we walked into the lobby, we were greeted by the concierge and welcomed to check in. The person who checked us in, I think his name is Eric? was amazing and really made us feel at home. He told us every possible detail about anything we would need during our stay. We've had some really subpar service recently so this got us off on a great foot. I had to pay for an upgrade to a top floor, which was annoying, but we were given a room on the 24th floor. The view was INCREDIBLE. The room was small but adequately sized. The bathroom was clean and the shower was large and had impressive water pressure. The bed was soft and cozy. The TV does not have any netflix or streaming capabilities. As luck would have it, this forced us to discover our new favorite show. (To Catch a Smuggler on NatGeo if you're interested). There is no mart or any place to buy sundries overnight. Contrary to my understanding of the universe as it applies to 7 Eleven, they are NOT open 24 hours and they are NOT open at 1am anywhere in the area. We asked the concierge if there was a place to buy a water bottle and they just gave a few to us. There is also a rooftop bar/restaurant with a cool ambiance and nice views of the city as well as very tasty drinks. We did not hear anything from other guests. I would definitely recommend staying here, I plan to do so the next time I am in town. read more

It was very difficult to find the hotel, we made a few loops around the block to finally spot it, even though it was marked on our maps. Closest parking was $50/night and the hotel offers valet parking for $70/night. The lobby was nice and fancy and we had to wait in line for a few minutes before we were helped to check in. The front desk's rep was a little difficult to communicate with, not shooting straight in answering questions, and gave a low energy first impression, and not making us feel very welcome. The room was nice and clean but we weren't big fans of their comforters. So far, our experience has been fair... Overall 3.5 Atmosphere 4 Quality and location 4 Service 3 read more

"theWit. More Experience Than Hotel". I made the mistake of not asking for a clarifying adjective. Our stay at theWit was a TERRIBLE experience! Upon arrival, the property's modern design and cool vibe appear stunning. We sprang for one of the larger suites to entertain family coming into the city to join us for a show. During the first night we were overwhelmed by noxious sewer smells coming from all of the drains in the bathroom worthy of a National Lampoon Christmas Vacation. We covered all of the drains with wet towels to mitigate the funk and then messaged the hotel through the Hilton app to alert them of the issue. (Rm2406) They were booked full, so they were unable to switch our room until someone else checked out. They moved us into a nice corner suite around noon to make up for the sleepless night. Everything seemed wonderful until the first time someone tried to use the bathroom. The sliding door to the bathroom refused to stay shut. By the time you closed the door and made it over to the toilet, it would have fully rolled back open. Nothing says fun family vacation like having to hold the door closed while your in-law uses the toilet! (Room2512) @theWit - You had multiple opportunities to make this right for us during our stay and failed. Save yourself the trouble of the boilerplate apology response you've served so many others. Instead, I ask you to revisit your own tagline of being more experience than a hotel. A hotel is in fact the foundation for which vacations are built. You owe your guests, the Hilton brand, and the city of Chicago better. read more

This November I decided to visit Chicago for my 24 birthday, and decided to stay at the Wit since it was close to all the major attractions. After my stay, I can add so many more reasons to stay at theWit. The staff made every effort to make my birthday special and memorable! Since it was my first time in Chicago, naturally I had questions. The employees made themselves available whenever I needed suggestions or had questions. The rooms are well laid out, and mine had a microwave and refrigerator. Note that the refrigerator actually there for your use, unlike other hotels where it's filled with items for sale. They also have silverware, bowls, plates and cups available. Overall I had an awesome time in Chicago, in large part due to the exceptional service I received staying at TheWit. read more

Excellent location with walking distant to many places. Front staff were great. The room is nice/clean and have a great view of the city.

The warm welcome cookie and bottle of water were a bonus! read more

What a great place! Even before getting to Chicago, I just so happened to be in a business meeting and mentioned that I was heading to Chicago and would stay at the theWit, one of the guys in the meeting mentioned that he was from Chicago and that he and his family have stayed there and highly recommend it. We were given excellent service from Lydiya from the moment we got to the front desk until we left through the revolving door 4 days later. She was very pleasant and accommodating since we got in a little early after a flight from LA. Even on the last day, we asked for a late checkout and it was granted. As great as Lydiya is, the rest of the staff are also welcoming and very pleasant from the bell desk to the restaurant host and servers. Having Hilton Diamond status got us a very nice upgrade and what a room! A direct view of Marina City! The exterior has a nice clean, yet very modern look. The interior decorations are clean and simple with nice touches of fresh flowers. The second-floor lounge lends itself to the name of the hotel, a great place to chill. The restaurant has excellent food and nice fresh options, you don't really need to eat outside since there is a variety of options. The rooftop club seemed to have a lot of guests based on the amount of traffic trying to get into the hotel. Our room was a few floors directly below, and we enjoyed the vibes coming down. We got to eat there for the Saturday brunch, again with excellent food and drink options. theWit is perfectly located with all the public transportation options just out the door as well as being in the middle of most of the wonderful Chicago attractions. The subway station is only 2 blocks away so it's an easy in and out to ORD. The Chicago River is a block away, the Magnificent Mile just past that, and in the other direction the Millennium and the other great Parks are all within walking distance. You really don't need a car by staying at theWit, just get a Venta card from at the airport and take the 45 minute ride to theWit. This was my 4th trip in about 20 years of going to Chicago, and I'm happy that I chose theWit based on its location and seeing some other reviews. I'll definitely stay there on my next trip to Chicago. A big Thank You to Lydiya and the Staff of theWit! read more

Everything you want in a hotel and a perfect location. A handful of dings that made me give 3 stars. PROS: -Great central location. -Nice bed & large shower. -Room key required to go up elevator. -Friendly staff. CONS: -Overpriced. -A/C unit in room was misleading. I could set the temperature as low as I wanted, but the lowest the room would actually get was 74 degrees. I like to sleep in a much cooler room, so I didn't get the best sleep since I was hot. -A lot of smokers and homeless people near the entrance. I think security could do a better job of making guests feel safe when arriving. -Room service late night menu was disappointing. read more

Just visited Chicago for a birthday weekend and loved staying at the Wit. It is centrally located to all activities. The morning walks to WildBerry for breakfast, millennium park across the street from there, down the block from the river walk and a few steps further, the magnificent mile, you can't go wrong!! Chicago theater was next door, but the Walgreens right next to that was occupied by a # of homeless so be mindful when stepping out at night, they aren't shy to cat call or ask for $. We're from NY so seeing bums and being asked for money isn't anything we aren't used to, but just be mindful when walking later at night you are more likely to be harassed. Aside from that minor tidbit, we genuinely enjoyed our stay at the wit and the location is prime for everything. Hector, the doorman was the sweetest and always so excited to see us upon entering the hotel and always so polite and hard working!!! We appreciate him and his service, it goes a long way when someone is excited to be at work and makes guest feel welcomed. read more

Ronnie, at the front desk, is an absolutely genuine, kind-hearted and confident woman who knows her clientele and her hotel. Ronnie went above and beyond to ensure that a small mix-up with our room was covered, and to our satisfaction, all with wit (forgive me) and humor, while understanding that we needed compensation. Around the corner from Ronnie was Nathan, a sweet and gentle young man with nothing but positivity and good vibes at the concierge desk. He was not to be outdone by Hector, such a joy at the door that I dare you to even think of a bad day. There wasn't a sour soul amongst the staff we encountered, a testament to the quality of management, I hope, but at the very least an indication of the amazing, positive, genuine and kind people employed at the Wit. Having traveled all over the country and world, big cities and small, the Wit stands out as a phenomenal experience, especially and mostly because of Ronnie, Nathan, Hector, and the rest of the staff. Highly recommend. read more

We were warmly welcomed with Voss brand water and fresh cookies individually wrapped which delighted our kids no end. ... the rooms are typical of downtown but the sliding door in our bathroom was a disappointment because it didn't close all the way and no exhaust which is also a downtown thing.
