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
DK Eyewitness "Perched above Water Tower Place on Michigan Avenue, this grand luxury hotel is all about old-fashioned elegance."
BlackBook "The Ritz-Carlton has been perched on floors 15-30 of Water Tower Place since 1960."
Zagat4.5
"“Every detail is attended to” at this “world-class” property perched atop the Water Tower Place mall on the Magnificent Mile."
Lonely Planet "Just think of all the shopping you can do without leaving the building if you stay in one of the 32 stories above Water Tower Place."
Fodor's "Shoppers, get ready: the sophisticated and comfortable Ritz-Carlton has indoor access to the Water Tower Place shopping mall and is close to many high-end boutiques." Full review

Michelin Guide "There's definitely a bit of whimsy at The Wit... ultra-modern in both design and decor."
Concierge "Located a block south of the Chicago River, on the edge of the theater district, the Wit is Doubletree's successful entrée into the cluster of Chicago hotels... aiming to be one-stop nonstop entertainment complexes."
Fodor's "The atmosphere at this sleek spot, topped by ROOF, one of the Loop's most happening bars around, is fun and youthful." Full review
Insight Guides "The first hotel in a budding chainlet by Doubletree, theWit balances the efficiency of a business hotel with a warm, vacation-style mindset."
Condé Nast Traveler "This smart downtown hotel on reviving State Street combines business traveler essentials with a buzzy scene and quirky touches like recorded birdsong in the hallways." Full review
Time Out "Right in the heart of the Theatre District, this hotel offers rooms with scenic views of the Loop. The hotel features on-site dining, a rooftop bar, a spa and fitness center." Full review
Star Service "An admirable effort from a chain not usually known for its fetching urban character, and there are enough twists and turns to this place that make it entertaining as well as comfortable." Full review
BlackBook "Designed by Chicago architect Jackie Koo with interiors done by Cheryl Rowley, the Wit holds 238 rooms and enough killer views to make Sears seem superfluous."
Zagat4.2
"This "trendy" Loop spot sports a neon lightning bolt down the facade and has more of a boutique sensibility than a typical Doubletree, but still offers the trademark "warm cookie at check-in"."
Travel + Leisure "This high-energy, artsy boutique hotel has it all: spacious, bright rooms with a view; state-of-the- art technology; plush bedding and a spa-inspired bathroom stocked with amenities." Full review
