Wit makes its own welcome, and levels all distinctions. No dignity, no learning, no force of character, can make any stand against good wit. –Ralph Waldo Emerson Does lightening ever strike the same place twice? With a bold, neon yellow glass bolt stretching 27 floors into the sky on the facade of its new building at the corner of State and Lake Streets, theWit Hotel (201 N. State St.) answers the question with a resounding “yes.” Located just a few blocks north of what (in the early 20th century) was the busiest intersection in the world, theWit joins the rebirth of State Street at an explosive moment. The nearby Block 37 mixed-use development is nearing completion, and the neighborhood recently celebrated the opening of The Joffrey Ballet of Chicago’s new Joffrey Tower. New retail stores, residential towers and attractions abound nearby, and theatergoers flock to the surrounding district to take in shows on some of Chicago’s most famous stages: the Goodman, the Harris, the Ford Oriental, the Cadillac Palace, the Bank of America Theater, and, of course, theWit’s next-door neighbor, the iconic Chicago Theatre. The developer of theWit, Scott Greenberg president of the ECD Company, took full advantage of the neighborhood’s rich cultural street cred when laying the groundwork for his hotel concept. Forget staid, stuffy and stiff: Starting with its playful name, theWit is a contemporary hotel with personality, its impishly chic sense of humor in evidence at every turn. The hotel’s forward-thinking structure was designed by breakout Chicago architect Jackie Koo, with interiors by Cheryl Rowley (the mastermind behind Kimpton Hotels’ distinctive look). Progressive edge mingles with long-lashed glamour throughout theWit’s guest rooms and common areas; chandeliers that appear held aloft by white angel wings hover near the soaring lobby ceiling, and mirrored elevator walls and hallway carpets are tattooed in bold floral cutout patterns. Edison-esque lightbulbs hang above boardroom tables, and pops of color throughout add surprise and whimsy to the sexy, dark color palette. Guest Rooms & Suites theWit houses 238 queen and king guest rooms on floors 6-20, with 60 magnificent one- and two-bedroom suites on floors 21-26 (298 rooms total). Floor-to-ceiling views of Chicago’s architectural gems are spectacular, with east-facing panoramas of Millennium Park, northward cityscapes of the Thompson Building and the Chicago River, and west-facing scenes of bustling State Street. The stylish appointments overlook no details: 40-inch flat-screen TVs are standard in all rooms, with 60-inch screens in some suites. Easily accessible, all-inclusive jacks provide plugins for computers, phones, iPods and other electronics. Sweet Dreams by Doubletree Sleep Experience© mattresses offer the ultimate in comfort, and custom furniture includes plush chaises and electric blue velvet sofas. Clever artwork is anything but mundane, with inspiring red-and-gray felt “walls of kisses” above the beds; prints featuring Monopoly boards alongside Shakespeare’s face on the cover of Esquire; and framed wordplay referencing the wittier quips of some of history’s greatest thinkers. In the suites, fully equipped kitchens are stocked with refrigerators, microwaves, convection ovens, and more. Super-sized bathrooms with separate showers and deep soaking tubs (many with outdoor views) are an irresistible place to relax after a long day absorbing Chicago’s cultural attractions. The latest energy efficient, eco-friendly HVAC innovations are put to use, with smart thermostats that use motion detectors to determine when guests are in the room and push air in specific directions to eliminate hot and cold spots. Conferences, Meetings & Events Floors three and four at theWit offer 7,000 square feet of meeting facilities, with a 2,523-square-foot dividable ballroom and conference rooms named after notable wits Lincoln, Dickinson, Churchill and Wilde. Ideal for educational, business or social events, the rooms are fully wired and outfitted with state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment. More dramatic views keep the creative vibe churning, and when groups get hungry, they’ll enjoy mouthwatering catering from the chef at theWit’s State and Lake restaurant. SCREEN Rivaling the over-the-top luxury of any Hollywood producer’s in-home spread, SCREEN, theWit’s $1 million digital high-definition multimedia theater, is sure to become the venue of choice for Chicago’s film aficionados, as well as for businesses and organizations that are looking for a one-of-a-kind space to host a special event. SCREEN can accommodate up to 40 guests which features luxurious gray electronic recliners, cozy couches and club chairs, which are situated on multiple levels to offer ideal sightlines to all viewers. Dining at theWit theWit’s food and beverage partner, Concentrics Restaurants, has created three distinct dining experiences throughout the hotel. With striking interiors by Atlanta’s Johnson Studio, each venue offers its own compelling argument for becoming Chicago’s newest, hottest see-and-be-seen destination: STATE AND LAKE Its name an ode to its exact location, STATE AND LAKE is a contemporary gastropub on the ground floor of theWit. With a menu of artisanal American cuisine and inviting décor punctuated by an amber-lit bar, cork floors, and rich mahogany leather banquettes, STATE AND LAKE is the perfect place to cozy up and unwind after long day of work in the Loop. ROOF Perched 27 stories above the hum of the Loop sidewalks, the nightlife experience at the 7,000-square-foot lounge ROOF can be defined in a word: View. The scene from the deck and out the windows of ROOF is jaw-droppingly spectacular; gaze in one direction to see the Bean at Millennium Park, another way to see a slice of the Chicago River, and any which way to take in the up-close details of architectural icons standing sentry in every direction. Long fire pits lined with bar stools, a large projection screen on an outdoor wall, and a high-quality telescope for sneaking peeks into surrounding buildings are all part of the sensual, sensory experience at ROOF. A menu of 20 small plates is executed from ROOF’s own full-service kitchen, with a pizza oven in the main bar area. Spa@theWit Managed by industry leader WTS and offering a range of facial, nail and body treatments, Spa@theWit does away with traditional beige, beige and more beige in favor of a striking color palette that invigorates as much as it soothes.

The Virgin Hotels Chicago is a historic building in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois, that has been converted from use as an office building to use as a hotel run via a mobile app based business model. The 250-room hotel is the first of Richard Branson's Virgin Hotels brand boutique hotels geared toward the female business traveller.Old Dearborn Bank BuildingSituated at the intersection of East Lake Street and North Wabash Avenue, the Old Dearborn Bank Building was constructed between 1926 and 1928 with ornate medieval and mythological terra-cotta decoration that was typical of movie palaces that were its contemporaries. The neoclassical architecture designed building is one of only two Rapp and Rapp buildings designed as an office building. Soon after the Old Dearborn Bank opened in 1928, it was acquired and its parent company was liquidated in the United States' Great Depression. The building, which is 27 stories high, was designated a Chicago Landmark on June 4, 2003. The 300ft light brown brick building with a steel structure includes 25 floors above ground and two below.The owners of the building defaulted on a $9 million loan from John Hancock Life Insurance resulting in the acquisition of the loan (and thus the property) for an undisclosed amount by Urban Street Properties LLC in April 2010. The building had been acquired by the previous owners for $9.5 million in 2001.

Silversmith Hotel Chicago Downtown

10 S Wabash Ave
Chicago, IL 60603

(312) 372-7696

The Silversmith Building began its eclectic history on the verge of a new millennium, long standing as a paragon of transition and progress, blending architectural styles, pioneering new materials and housing a variety of commercial ventures throughout the decades. With the turn of another century, the Silversmith has been transformed once again, into The Silversmith Hotel & Suites, a leading luxury Chicago hotel. In the late 1890’s, the Arts and Crafts movement began to replace Romanesque Revival architecture. In 1896, Peter J. Weber, of the celebrated architectural firm of D.H. Burnham and Company, designed the Silversmith to reflect this transition. The upper floors evoke the Moorish undertones of Romanesque Revival with their use of warm monochromatic red brick and unglazed terra cotta, rounded corner flat pilasters, and round brick attached columns. The lower floors have a simple zigzag surround on the windows, which typifies the turn-of-the-century European geometrical designs that inspired the Arts and Crafts movement. These floors are clad in dark green highly-glazed terra cotta reminiscent of the fireplace surrounds in the Arts and Crafts style homes. One consistent element of this downtown Chicago hotel’s design is its incorporation of Chicago’s Commercial Style. This style accommodated the city’s growing demands of commerce and business especially after the Chicago fire of 1871. Like the Silversmith, buildings in this style featured heights of over five stories, flat roofs, very few façade projections, and a regular rhythm of same-size windows. This style suited the tenants for whom the buildings were originally and mainly designed; the jewelry and silver trade. In fact, the Silversmith stands in what is still called “Jeweler’s Row”. One specific feature of the building, its central light court, further appealed to these businesses. This court and the Silversmith’s general floor plan, allowed natural light and ventilation to enter all work spaces, which was particularly important for both crafting and viewing intricate work. After a century of some dubious transformations, the Silversmith has finally returned to its original splendor. Granted National Landmark status, The Silversmith Hotel & Suites has spared no expense in revitalizing the building and crafting one of the most exquisite Chicago hotels. The entry hall’s restored marble mosaic, the marble and cast iron grand staircase and the lobby’s intricate classical relief ceiling welcome guests to a world of refined yet comfortable luxury.

Aqua is an 82-story mixed-use residential skyscraper in the Lakeshore East development in downtown Chicago, Illinois. Designed by a team led by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects, with James Loewenberg of Loewenberg & Associates as the Architect of Record, it includes five levels of parking below ground. The building's eighty-story, 140000sqft base is topped by a 82550sqft terrace with gardens, gazebos, pools, hot tubs, a walking/running track and a fire pit. Each floor covers approximately 16000sqft. The Aqua was awarded the Emporis Skyscraper Award as 2009 skyscraper of the year, and was shortlisted in 2010 for the biennial International Highrise Award.ArchitectAqua was designed by Jeanne Gang, principal and founder of Studio Gang Architects, and it was her first skyscraper project. The project was the largest ever awarded to an American firm headed by a woman. Loewenberg & Associates are the architects of record, led by James Loewenberg.DesignThe Aqua Tower is located at 225 North Columbus Drive, and is surrounded by high-rises. To capture views of nearby landmarks for Aqua's residents, Gang stretched its balconies outward by as much as 12ft. The result is a building composed of irregularly shaped concrete floor slabs which lend the facade an undulating, sculptural quality. Gang cites the striated limestone outcroppings that are a common topographic feature of the Great Lakes region as inspiration for these slabs.
