This was a wonderful find. We enjoyed a corner table by the fireplace, high top with a peekaboo view of the river. Beautiful Floor to ceiling windows. They've got a great appetizer and wine list for you to choose from the music was perfect. The service was great. We had such a wonderful time, sitting, watching people watching the city Gorgeous space. Great for couples or families and private events. read more

Pretty dismal experience. Theme of our stay was LATE. Arrived at 4:00 on the dot for checkin. However we had to sit in the lobby for 20 minutes because our room was not ready. So we sat there watching dozens of people get metal detected before going to the rooftop. So we were LATE to where we needed to go. Ordered $100 of room service. It was LATE so I called to cancel. Lady on the phone was rude, told me no and hung up on me mid sentence. I wasn't able to eat my share because well, it was LATE. Wife said her food simply wasn't good regardless. Something as simple as butter and jelly for the toast wasn't provided. Arrived back between meetings. Stood out front and in the lobby for over 15 minutes to try and give my keys to the valet attendant. No one was anywhere to be found. Wouldn't answer calls from the front desk. They finally took my keys then some dude chased me down saying they can't keep them and I have to keep waiting. Oh this made me LATE to my next meeting. $89 a day for poor performance was not worth it. I would 100% suggest parking yourself or a block over at London house. They always have 4+ attendants. Help with luggage and doors etc. oh and it's CHEAPER. We appreciated the room upgrade. The room itself was okay. It wouldn't get below 71 degrees and got upwards of 76 degrees during the day. Even with the shades closed. For as much as we spent, I would expect a lot more. Rooms were fine, but the service, in all aspects was not. read more

I truly enjoyed my stay here(room 2504). It was my birthday week, and Prince truly made it special. I want to emphasize that Prince is an asset to the property! His warm demeanor made me overlook the cons I faced. I was also able to meet the manager Lidiya, who also left a great impression. I can not say the same about the night auditors.. they def need a hospitality refresher because they were dead and rude. No personality besides the attitude and very dismissive. On the 14th a bald-headed black man and a heavy-set black woman who did not care to acknowledge my questions or conversation. Not only did I feel like I was talking to a brick wall but also that I was bothering their screen time. The other black lady who worked by herself on the 15th of Jan did not want to help me so much, she told the bellmen/valet guys to help me when I left my phone in my uber... I asked to use the front desk, and she told me, "to go over there"... I'm truly disgusted by the older women in Chicago but esp disgusted that Hilton hired these 3 people to represent their brand. Maybe it's my fault for thinking I was going to get southern hospitality. Anyway, If I was HR or the FOM, I would look into them. Restaurant is comfortable, clean, and spacious. They have a bfast, lunch, and dinner menu. Menu is decent. I loved that they had a different soup every day. Didn't try anything besides the lobster one and i loveeeed it. The ribs I bought... can't say the same for that. The slaw that came with is was also disgusting. I wouldn't call that slaw. Loveeed the peach on a platform. I seriously got that every day!!! Servers and the same host I seen every time I went to were sweethearts. I do wish I was able to dine at the rooftop but I wasn't there for the weekend. The small glimpse I did see was beautiful! Location is honestly perfect. Right next to walgreens, 7/11, Ross, Chic-fil-a, Giordan, a plaza that has many stores like nordstom, zara, Aritzia. AND LESS THAN A 4 min WALK FROM THE TRAIN STATION!!!! I'll def be back! read more

Located in the theater district in downtown Chicago, the Wit is a great place to stay for dining entertainment and exploring the Loop. From the O'Hara airport I took the blue line train to downtown getting off at Clark/Lake St station. From there The Wit was a quick 10 minute walk. My room offered sn amazing viewing of the skyscrapers and glimpse of the river. My room was quiet at night even with the "L" train rumbling below. The hotel has an amazing rooftop bar offering a great view to the South and West loop. Drink and food prices were average for a downtown establishment ranging from $10 for beers and $20 for cocktails. There is another restaurant and bar located on the ground floor level also offering elevated pub food in a dimly lit atmosphere. Drink prices were similar to the rooftop ranging from $10-20. In the morning coffee and tea is located in the lobby for hotel guests. Overall I had a brief but nice stay at The Wit, and look forward to staying again in the future. Enjoy!!! read more

theWit Chicago is an exceptionally nice Hilton branded hotel located right in the middle of everything in Chicago. We were able to walk to nearly all of the downtown attractions. The staff was very quick and friendly to handle any issues not that there was many.. The inside decor is absolutely gorgeous as well as the decor in the rooms. For me a nice long, warm shower is always appreciated at the end of the day and not once did I run out of hot water and it even got a little hot at times. theWit also has one of the nicest rooftop bars you can go to. It is divided into two sections, one more of a true lounge area overlooking the city and the other a sit down style with the bar relatively close to you. The night we were there there was a DJ playing music at just the right noise level for the crowd that was in there loud enough to give that party vibe, but not so loud that people were having to yell and not enjoy themselves. They also had some extremely tasty drinks up there. The only downside as with most downtown hotels in Chicago is $82 a night to valet. read more

I was so disappointed in this hotel. This was out of our normal price range but I thought the location was wonderful and it is. The other disappointments were just too much. The expensive charge for the Val-let 86.00 I was told I'd be text them my room was ready. I was never text I just couldn't wait any long and came to the front desk to ask. One of the reasons I booked the hotel was for the roof top. We were told it was a private event ALL night. We were given many mixed directions. I felt they just didn't want US!!! Eventually after much complaining they let us up and again I don't think they wanted us. Many of the staff were not just unfriendly but almost rude. I did appreciate Erik from the Vallet. He was professional and welcoming. No coffee in the morning. It rang out and they were not going to refill it. The room was average. It was very overpriced for the service and amenities it did NOT provide. Don't stay here we noticed a lot more hotels that looked more accommodating read more

The staff here were all super helpful and friendly, and definitely started my stay off well. The room had a very weird mismatch of furniture styles, and also seemed to waste a lot of space. With all the empty space in the room, it would have been nice to have a closet that was large enough to hang longer things. The food in the hotel was overpriced and underwhelming, but the bar and wait staff were all great. This hotel is overall not bad, with a good location, but it could just be a lot more. Especially for the price. read more

Our stay at TheWit Chicago was truly outstanding. The hotel is located on the L (noise was not an issue) at State and Lake. Although the adjacent State & Lake station was demolished a couple of months ago and will eventually be replaced, the next nearest L station was only about two blocks away. The hotel and rooms are nicely decorated. We were greeted by Beatriz, who checked us in early and upgraded our room as Diamond Hilton Honors members to a one-bedroom spa suite. Beatriz's friendliness, courtesy, helpfulness, and professionalism turned out to be the norm for the entire staff, not only at the front desk, but also housekeeping, engineering (we had a small technical issue that was quickly addressed), the concierge, and the restaurant. Speaking of the restaurant, a special shout out to Milthon who took great care of us at breakfast each morning. Each time we returned from touring, we were warmly welcomed back by the staff in the lobby. I have stayed at Hilton properties all over the world and was among one of the best stays I have experienced. Kudos to the entire team and their management who clearly lead by an example of excellence. read more

For the team dinner, the staff decided on Roof on the Wit. At first glance, the restaurant looked nice and classy. The giant screens played animated scenes. The atmosphere felt like a high end club. For dinner some of us ordered sushi, pepperoni pizzas, salads and alcoholic beverages. I ordered an unsweetened ice tea. The sushi tasted delicious. My coworkers, managers and I went out to celebrate after a long day of training. We needed to relax. The only caveat came from the ventilation kept dripping water. So we moved to the center of the restaurant. At least the seating gave us more space allowed more circulation. Being the first time that I went there, I will probably go back to theWit. read more

I cancelled a rescevation due to illness and was told by front end manager Lydia she would take care of the charge. The following day, I noticed the charge on my credit card for almost $200. I called front end manager Zachery who was VERY rude and refused to reverse charge, then hung up on me. I called Hilton and was informed the franchisee can do what they want! we are retired and are on a fixed income. We travel frequently and use Hilton properties. We are very disappointed in the way this was handled. There are MANY nice hotels in the Loop. I recommend you use another property. read more

Nice spot & venue however costumer service & guest relations is horrible. This is specifically regarding the rooftop staff. I am an African American male who feels stereotyped of course due to image.

The staff were friendly enough. The location is good, and the spa was nice! However, the rooms need work- the bolt on the hotel room door was broken, which doesn't give a good sense of security. The bathroom door was broken so that it was easy to get locked inside the bathroom! The amenities were, well, none, and the toilet paper and tissues were like cardboard. The restaurant food was mediocre. read more

Great location, steps from the Chicago theater and in the middle of everything. Easy walk to the river, shopping, trains, etc... Very convenient in that regard. Staff were friendly and personable. The bed was average, not bad but not great either. Awesome views from our corner suite, looking down on the elevated train and out on the skyline. The suite living room looked impressive but the carpet and furniture is showing wear from parties. One of the couch cushions had a stain covering half of the seat. The carpet and arm chair were also stained. The living room has adjoining doors to bedroom suites on either side, one ours and one not ours. The neighbors next door were loud and at times easily heard through the closed adjoining door. read more

Hardly worth the price paid. Bed was stiff. Atmosphere was boring. Drinks overpriced. Forced to pay a resort fee. No pool. Spa was closed. Oh...it also includes the wifi. What a marvel in 2026. When asked how my stay was, I told the girl at the desk "not great. The bed was awful." As though she was never trained on how to respond to criticism, she smiled and said "thanks for staying with us." Far better hotels in Chicago. Don't get duped by this dump. read more

In general I am pretty satisfied with the stay. One thing I like most is the bold, creative designs in the hotel, from lobby to guest room to rooftop. Second, the gym was also clean and equipped with everything I need. The location is also great, convenient for me to go almost everywhere. The stay could be better if the hotel 1. Clean the wall of bathroom more carefully 2. Give some instructions on how to turn on the lights (they looked fancy but difficult to operate lol) 3. Turn down the music in corridors a bit, as the walls were not sound-proof. read more

Lovely hotel with great staff but do NOT waste your money on a package and call to confirm you will have access to the lounge if that's your primary reason for booking. I booked the theatre package for one night trying to have a little getaway for my anniversary- stated to include dinner, drinks, breakfast, valet, and a spa basket. When we got our bill, all of our meals and drinks were fully charged and we had to wait to talk to the manager to actually get those credits we paid for applied- and those credits are very small and don't cover much. We also had no notification the lounge would be closed off for a private event. This really threw a wrench in our plans. Definitely would have booked elsewhere if we knew this would be the case. This of course was of no fault to the great staff at the hotel, and they did point us in the direction of some other rooftop bars nearby, but I thought that was a really shady move on Hilton's part. And finally, that spa basket was nowhere to be found, and I just let that one go because I already felt bad enough bothering the manager about our bill. So again, the room and the staff at this place are great, just stay away from the packages! They cost more than they actually give. 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

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.

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

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
