Overview
theWit Hotel Chicago
Situated in The Loop business district in downtown Chicago, theWit Chicago is a 4 star boutique hotel that echoes the vibrant and energetic neighborhood that surrounds it. A Doubletree by Hilton hotel, this luxury property is as unique and distinct as the city of Chicago itself. The hotel’s striking, 27-story glass façade, unparalleled comfort, and incomparable service revitalizes Chicago’s central Loop. Dubbed the ‘lightning bolt’, the glass, emerald green zigzag fronting the hotel and extending over the main entrance casts a chartreuse hue on pedestrians and lucky guests as they arrive. A two-storey lobby boasts live music and an intimate lounge overlooking guests as they enter the hotel; the lobby, like the hotel, is truly a place to see and be seen.
Experience ROOF, a rooftop lounge on the 27th floor of theWit featuring commanding city skyline views. From any vantage point, views from ROOF are breathtaking, boasting 7,000 square feet of roaring fire pits, telescopes, and unparalleled ambience. High above Chicago’s Loop and the theater district, ROOF was voted one of the ‘World’s Best Roof Top Bars’ by ABC News. Located on the ground level, the aptly named State and Lake Restaurant is a warm and modern destination for a quick lunch or business dinner.
