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

Frommer's "If you're the loll-around-in-bed type, this is a great place to do it; the super-comfy beds feature cushiony pillow-top mattresses, soft duvets, and mounds of pillows." Full review
Concierge "Details from the former 1929 Beaux Arts gentleman's club can be seen in the lobby's vaulted arches and gold-leaf ceiling, although a 2009 renovation added thoroughly modern touches."
Lonely Planet "Employees all wear black at this hip hotel where the soaring ‘living room’ (lobby/bar) feels a little like a dance club, especially when the DJ gets going." Full review

"The 368-room W City Center features a funky blend of neoclassical and modern design styles." Full review
Time Out "This stunning Beaux Arts building, which started out as a private men’s club in 1929, has been transformed into one of Starwood’s sleek W Hotels." Full review
Star Service "This trendy design-conscious icon appeals to the yuppie in all of us, an edgy, attitude-prone, design-driven commercial house, pitched to young up-and-comers." Full review
Gayot "Recreated as a luxury hotel in 2002, and expanded with 35 new guest rooms in 2012, this property sits in the heart of Chicago's well-known Loop business district, near Willis Tower."
BlackBook "Stylish rooms with 250 thread-count sheets, wraparound couches, a CD library, and W spa robes prepare you for high-end hobnobbing at people-watching mecca Whiskey Blue."
Zagat4.2
"This "swank", “trendy” choice in the usually staid Loop looks “more like a nightclub than a hotel”, with a “funky vibe” that's “geared toward a young” clientele."
Fodor's "With a lobby that feels like a club, and spacious high-tech rooms done up in graphite and cream, this financial district hotel welcomes a lively crowd along with business travelers." Full review
