Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

First time at this Hilton property but has definitely placed itself at the top of my list when I'm in Chicago. Great modern rooms, wonderful views, killer amenities on site including a fantastic gym. Then you get to the roof top bar which is one of the best I've been to in Chicago. The icy on the cake is the staff. Very attentive, responsive and lots of smiles. Carrie is fantastic and absolutely made my stay.

Hotel's Favourite
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.

TheWit is a fantastic hotel. The location is prime, less than a 90 second walk to the river, right downtown. The facilities all looked amazing and felt welcoming and extremely well maintained. The room was clean, the staff were super friendly, especially Carrie at the front desk. When I first arrived, on a super cold day, she went out of her way to make me feel welcome, gave me awesome directions and altogether made the trip start on a super high note. Highly recommend a stay!

theWit was a dream of a hotel! The service was amazing and views were immaculate. Carrie at the front desk took incredible care of us and provided the best customer service! We are from Texas so we had no idea what the area had to offer. She gave us recommendations for local things to do and good food to eat. When you stay here, you are truly immersed in the city of Chicago and there are limitless things to go do and see. You will not be disappointed with your stay here, whether you just want to relax in your hotel room or go explore the city!

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.

Daquiri was a phenomenal server! She was so funny, had great recommendations & made sure we had everything we needed at all times. I would recommend this spot for the ambience and her service to anyone! The whiskey selection was decent, the spicy margarita was delicious, and it was lively enough to keep conversation going but quiet enough to have real conversations

The gentleman at check in was incredibly attentive and focused on my needs. I had a quick salad and drink in the State & Lake restaraunt, delicious and outstanding service from Daquiri. She asked the right questions and helped me get out in time for the show. Thanks you guys! Patron for life now.

We adored our stay here. We stayed for 3 nights and it with the perfect location to bounce between restaurants, blues bars and shopping. Carrie at the front desk was welcoming and accommodating. We couldn’t recommend The Wit more for a romantic weekend away.
