Lots of restaurants near by. Walk to Millennium Park and see the cloud gate!! Starbucks is across the street. Must pay for internet in rooms :(, free in... More

The team, here, relishes in the great comments shared and they inspire all to continue to offer excellence in service. Please note that internet access is complimentary in public spaces at theWit, and in-room for those HHonors members (yes theWit is in the Hilton Family as a Doubletree by Hilton property) on the upper tiers.

Just returned from our second stay at theWit! Once again, we were quite satisfied. We spent a few nights last year here and enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to stay here again. The rooms are ultra modern. This time we stayed in a King spa room. The only recommendation I would have is that if you're staying... More

The rooms are well appointed and I like that there are many outlets for recharging. However, I never like to pay for wi-fi and this place charges for each device you want to connect. I think it's outrageous to spend $12/day and not be able to connect a computer and ipad if you need to in your room. I don't... More

My wife and I spent a weekend here last summer and really enjoyed the hotel. Our room was very large with floo to ceiling windows with great views. The rooftop bar was noisy and fun, and great for people watching. Great location, close to the train, and walking distance to a lot of great restaurants. Valet parking was a little... More

My wife and I traveled to Chicago for a weekend and chose The Wit because we had seen it on our last trip and liked the location and the look of it. The staff was very friendly during check-in and accommodated us when we asked for a room change based on the layout of the room. The room we stayed... More

My wife and I stayed here for a couple weekend recently. The hotel room was very welcoming and pleasant as were the hotel staff. The location is great for seeing the sites around Chicago. The only problem I had was a valet who got thick mud caked in my floor mats, and unfortunately emails regarding this issue to the hotel... More

Overall, I enjoyed my four night stay at theWit. It sure isn't like any other Doubletree I've been to before (and I worked at one.) That's a good thing, by the way. Well, one thing it has in common with other Doubletrees is the friendly staff, and the cookie, of course. Everyone I encountered here was beyond helpful. Some of... More

I picked this hotel because I was visiting my daughter, and it is located 2 blocks from where she works. It is also very close to Millennium Park, the Art Institute and downtown shopping. The staff were very solicitous and helpful, and the room was comfortable. My main complaint is their ridiculous WIFI policy. On the website the hotel describes... More

We didn't stay at the Wit (we live in town), but enjoyed cocktails at their rooftop lounge on St. Patrick's Day! Every staff member we encountered was fabulous!! Ryan (front desk) was awesome and should be commended for his exceptional service!! I will definitely recommend your hotel to friends coming to town for a visit, look forward to being back... More

Continued thanks for reviews highlighting the location of theWit and the positive service & product.
