Michelin Guide "It just does not get any better than this... One of the city's most coveted locations."
Concierge "After a multimillion-dollar renovation completed in spring 2009, you'd never guess that it's one of the country's oldest Ritz hotels."
Travel + Leisure "Situated directly above Water Tower Place, the Ritz-Carlton has an Art Nouveau—inspired lobby with a dramatic marble fountain and wall-to-wall windows framing views of the city below." Full review
Time Out "The 435 richly appointed rooms take up the top 15 floors of Water Tower Place and come with high ceilings, marble bathrooms and picture windows." Full review
Star Service "Situated at Michigan Avenue, near North Side, this property is now officially part of the Ritz-Carlton chain. Similar to the Four Seasons here, this is one of the city's top addresses." Full review

"This 354-room hotel is centrally located right on the river, minutes from The Loop, and across the street from the iconic House of Blues." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler74.4
"More is more at Chicago’s music industry hot spot (formerly the House of Blues hotel), extroverted both stylistically and socially." Full review
Time Out "In 2007 this 353-room hotel was fully renovated... the revamped image brought Moulin Rouge-inspired Crimson Lounge, a high-tech entertainment lounge and an east-west fusion décor." Full review
Star Service "This style-conscious hotel...is now a Marriott hybrid that operates as a fusion of the PG-13 style found at Kimpton's Allegro and Monaco hotels with that of the artier, edgier, modern The James." Full review
Not For Tourists "Brightly decorated folk-art themed room."
