In Chicago, theWit, a Hilton Hotel, has unveiled its top-to-bottom renovation, debuting a new design concept and new amenities. Conceptualized by Jackie Koo of KOO Architecture, the hotel’s refreshed spaces are infused with clever and imaginative touches, creating a gallery-like atmosphere inspired by the home of a worldly collector.
Guests arriving at theWit enter a soaring, light-infused lobby, where the boldly colored, sculptural, 38-foot-tall columns and a 12-foot live floral installation are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows and set a dramatic tone. The vibrant columns and floral display are paired with warm-colored sculptural furnishings, a white marble front desk and black tiled floors.
The hotel’s 310 redesigned guestrooms and suites offer satin bed linens, ultra-soft terry towels and Italian bath amenities. High-touch services, such as new nightly turndown, are complemented by tech, including 65-inch flat-screen TVs in the suites. All guestrooms now also have an Amazon Echo, offering integration for concierge services, hotel information, in-room dining requests and guest services on demand.
Good to know: theWit is located steps from the Riverwalk and the Chicago Theater. The hotel’s F&B experiences include the signature tavern-style restaurant, State and Lake Chicago Tavern, serving bistro-style cuisine in a gastropub atmosphere. Additionally, set 27 stories above, ROOF on theWit sports a chic esthetic, offering a lively nightlife and brunch scene, rotating DJs, and a retractable rooftop, making it a year-round destination for views of the city.
The hotel’s spa and fitness center has city views and a range of amenities. At Spa@theWit guests can find restorative and results-driven spa treatments, from massages and facials to body wraps and nail services.
Located on State Street at the intersection of the business and entertainment districts, theWit offers 14,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. Venues include meeting rooms, executive boardrooms and a ballroom, each with advanced technology, fully integrated audio and video capabilities, and floor-to-ceiling views of the cityscape.
