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."

"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
