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

For the best views, ask for a room on the ninth floor or above, facing east toward the park and the lake.

Request a room on floors nine and up for the best lake views (you’ll pay about $40 more for it), and be sure to pop up to the J.
