A good try but pretentious
My wife and I choose theWit hotel because of its location in the theater district and because of a positive review of theSpa at theWit in Chicago magazine, but we were underwhelmed with our stay here.
The staff was excellent and it was evident that they were well trained. Our room had a spectacular view. These were the only two positives and for the price paid I expect more.
The hotel has a pretentious feeling. Everything has "the" in front of it, like "theWit", "theSpa", "theFront Desk", "theElevator". In the hallways, instead of playing quiet music they play nature sounds. It just feels wrong in a hotel in the big city. In the morning they have barnyard sounds with a rooster crowing, the afternoon is woodland birds, and in the evening crickets. There were no upgrades with my Silver membership in the Hilton Honors program. Nothing was included with the room (I expect at least free WiFi) so you feel nickel and dimed which you should not feel when you are paying over $300 a night.
We did have a nice time but I would not stay here again or recommend it to my family/friends.
