Character and identity
A 298-room Loop hotel reborn after a top-to-bottom renovation in June 2023, theWit pairs a high-impact lobby (floor-to-ceiling windows, 38-foot columns, a 12-foot living floral installation) with art-and-travel-inspired interiors throughout. State and Lake handles American tavern cooking across breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, while ROOF on theWit, the 27th-floor bar with its retractable roof, has been the property's social calling card since 2009. Spa@theWit on the fifth floor and a refreshed fitness centre round out the wellness side. Service runs through an Experience Architect concierge desk.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-minded urban travellers and couples who want the Loop on their doorstep, with theatre, shopping and Millennium Park (a 10-minute walk) all within blocks. Nightlife seekers in particular get value here: ROOF is a genuine destination, with DJs, holiday programming and weekend brunch keeping the calendar busy.
Should look elsewhere:
Guests after a quiet, contemplative luxury stay or a true resort-style spa retreat. This is a busy downtown hotel with a party-leaning rooftop, not a hideaway. Families looking for kids' programming or dedicated suites for multi-generational stays won't find that focus here.
Bottom line
The defining draw is location plus social energy: a renovated Loop tower whose rooftop bar doubles as one of the neighbourhood's livelier night-out venues, wrapped around comfortable, contemporary rooms. Book it if you want theatre, museums and dinner all on foot, and consider the Paramount Suite for State Street and Chicago Theater views if you're stretching the budget.
