Star Service "Leisure travelers seeking an intimate refuge will find the exact opposite here, except when there are no conventions or Chicago Bears games; at those times, the hotel resembles a ghost town." Full review

Avoid the lowest floors, which lack views.
Gayot "Rooms are very pleasantly decorated, and many offer terrific views of Lake Michigan and the Chicago skyline."

"An “excellent choice for a convention stay”, this "classy" chain outpost connected to McCormick Place convention center throws in such business perks as free WiFi for one device."

"Located on the near South Side of Chicago, the Hyatt Regency is far from most of Chicago's attractions and is not within walking distance to any notable shopping, restaurants, or nightlife." Full review
Jetsetter "Lakefront mega-hotel for biz and leisure travelers alike with skyline views and an impressive health club." Full review
Time Out "The only hotel adjoining McCormick Place, this Hyatt offers 800 rooms to convention-going patrons." Full review
Frommer's "Rising 33 stories from Chicago's sprawling convention center, the Hyatt Regency is often solidly booked during trade shows and meetings." Full review

The average-size rooms are decorated in standard business-hotel style; if you can, request one on the north side, which features panoramic views of the city skyline and Lake Michigan.

Michelin Guide "There's definitely a bit of whimsy at The Wit... ultra-modern in both design and decor."
Concierge "Located a block south of the Chicago River, on the edge of the theater district, the Wit is Doubletree's successful entrée into the cluster of Chicago hotels... aiming to be one-stop nonstop entertainment complexes."
Fodor's "The atmosphere at this sleek spot, topped by ROOF, one of the Loop's most happening bars around, is fun and youthful." Full review
Insight Guides "The first hotel in a budding chainlet by Doubletree, theWit balances the efficiency of a business hotel with a warm, vacation-style mindset."
Condé Nast Traveler "This smart downtown hotel on reviving State Street combines business traveler essentials with a buzzy scene and quirky touches like recorded birdsong in the hallways." Full review
Time Out "Right in the heart of the Theatre District, this hotel offers rooms with scenic views of the Loop. The hotel features on-site dining, a rooftop bar, a spa and fitness center." Full review
Star Service "An admirable effort from a chain not usually known for its fetching urban character, and there are enough twists and turns to this place that make it entertaining as well as comfortable." Full review
BlackBook "Designed by Chicago architect Jackie Koo with interiors done by Cheryl Rowley, the Wit holds 238 rooms and enough killer views to make Sears seem superfluous."
Zagat4.2
"This "trendy" Loop spot sports a neon lightning bolt down the facade and has more of a boutique sensibility than a typical Doubletree, but still offers the trademark "warm cookie at check-in"."
Travel + Leisure "This high-energy, artsy boutique hotel has it all: spacious, bright rooms with a view; state-of-the- art technology; plush bedding and a spa-inspired bathroom stocked with amenities." Full review
