The Wit Chicago Will Hit Its Mark With $199 Opening Rates

Where: 201 North State Street [map], Chicago, IL, United States, 60601

In New York, the hotspot for new hotels may be around the Bowery and the Lower East Side, but in Chicago, the classics reign supreme and so the construction has centered around the North Loop and the Block 37 development. Leading the pack will be The Wit, a Doubletree property with some residential floors, two restaurants, a screening room, and a destination rooftop.

As centrally-located as it is, at the corner of State and Lake Streets just next to the El train tracks, The Wit doesn't seem to be undergoing any construction delays and is due to open in "late May 2009." If, however, you aren't planning on hitting the Windy City under summer really kicks in during Taste of Chicago and Venetian Night, we still recommend booking now as they've got $199 starting rates for bookings beginning June 28. Now take this price and pair it with the hotel's proximity to Millennium Park and its views towards the lake, and then you'll have a shadow of an idea as to why we're so excited for it.
