Please allow us to remind you that Chicago is not New York, and nowhere is this more apparent than at theWit Hotel in Chicago, where the Paramount Suite (pictured above and in the gallery below) begins at only $450 a night. What will $450 get you in NYC, you ask? Well, not even one night in the most standard room at the new Crosby Street Hotel, for example, or maybe only a few hours of sitting in the lobby of The Pierre. In the Windy City however, you'll get a full-size kitchen with Wolfgang Puck coffeemaker, two bathrooms, and a wall of windows with all imaginable views of downtown.

Back in July, just after the theWit (which is actually a Doubletree property) opened, we checked out all of their public spaces, including the restaurants and roof-top bar. But we swung back through Chicago this month, we made sure to peek into the hotel's plush screening room and then, finally, an actual hotel room.

Sadly we didn't sleep here—the NYT did that for us—but we scored a tour of this most panoramic of all suites, room 2501. It's a ridiculously perfect option for a treating yourself, or your parents, or a bachelorette to their own suite for a weekend in the city. Regular rooms, which boast some of these very same stunning views, start at $250 a night. Here are all the details for the Paramount Suite; compare them to the features of a Classic room, and you'll see that there's not a huge chasm between them.

Now can we please just live here? TheWit had originally planned on offering a few condos up for sale in the building, but to your (and our) advantage, they went full-hotel and yet the space and occasional full kitchen remain.

Sold

I think you've sold me on TheWit. When I hit up Chicago (soon I hope!) I'll look into staying here. This place seems way nicer than the Ws too.

But beware of the bathroom

Someone just told me the sliding bathroom doors are tricky at theWit. Apparently, a guest was stuck in the bathroom for 20 minutes. Considering that I have been locked in a bathroom several times before, I will have to be VERY Careful.
