I recently took several of my employees to the Ritz Carlton in Chicago for a celebratory weekend. Even prior to our arrival I was contacted by Jon in concierge to make sure that everything would go smoothly at check in. Upon arrival we checked in smoothly and proceeded to our room. If you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend... More

This is such an amazing hotel. The food is delis! Try the Deca salad with salmon. The staff is very knowledgeable and able to pair wine or cocktails with your entree. Amazing ambiance and lovely musical entertainment at night on the weekends. The best part of all is the new outdoor terrace is ready and absolutely stunning! The DEC at... More

Dear Shari M, It is wonderful to hear great feedback on the new Dec rooftop bar. Executive Chef Mark Payne and his team truly put their hearts into creating the new menu and it is fantastic to hear it has been well received. This summer will certainly be an exciting one that we are thrilled to share with our guests.... More

This was our first time staying at a Ritz. We had a beautiful Lake view that I loved waking up to and the room was decorated very nicely. The toiletries were nice but the toilet paper was 1-ply. You'd think they would at least have 2-ply toilet paper for such a fancy hotel. The lobby was gorgeous although we didn't... More

Excellent stay, great room, great location. I had only one issue, and it was minor. Ordered room service - attendant informed me that the wait would be a little long - actually arrived before quoted time. Burger was ordered 'medium'..was probably closer to 'med well'. Otherwise...excellent hotel

My husband and I wanted to do something special for for our 15th anniversary. I am SO glad we chose to stay at the Ritz! Even though it was an anniversary trip, we brought our 10 year old daughter with us, and we were truly overwhelmed by the amazing staff and their attention to not only us, but our daughter... More

The location can't be beat. The Lego store in the attached mall is great for kids or gifts. You are in the middle of the grand stores, a pleasant walk from the funky restaurants and don't forget to dine in the Ralph Lauren flagship store. I loved my view of Lake Michigan. The staff is wonderful.

We stay in Chicago with our Bacchus group and have never been disappointed in the accommodations, service, and elegance. Its location is perfect, shopping, dining, and everything one desires is close at hand. Service here borders on perfection. Only dislike is a separate charge to use the pool facilities.

Two of us arrived 5pm on a Friday evening, for a three night stay. Our room was immediately available and registration took just minutes. Our 22d floor "city view" room was spacious, bright, and quiet. Everyone we interacted with over the entire stay -- doormen, concierge, waitstaff, registration desk -- was polite, welcoming, and efficient. The location was great for... More

We lucked up and took advantage of the 3rd night free offering for our first visit to Chicago. We were blown away by this wonderful hotel and the friendly staff. Location was great, rooms had a great view and were very comfortable, it was all good! We highly recommend a stay.
