Miért szeretik az emberek
- Unbeatable views of Lake Michigan and the skyline from floor-to-ceiling windows
- One of the best Ritz-Carlton Club Lounges in the US with 5 daily food presentations
- Prime location atop Water Tower Place on the Magnificent Mile
Gyors áttekintés: The renovated rooms are stunning, but the 'Luxury Suites' still have dated furniture, and the indoor pool feels a bit like a YMCA.
Értékelte @chicago_trav: I upgraded to the Club Lounge at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago and it was the best decision. Unlimited champagne, incredible food all day, and I even took plates back to my room. The service is top-notch. You absolutely have to book this access!

5 dolog, amit tudnod kell az utazás előtt
💡The lobby is actually on the 12th floor, so you have to take an elevator up from the ground level just to check in.
💡The indoor pool is a true lap pool, not a lounging pool, and the surrounding locker rooms feel more like a high-end YMCA than a luxury spa.
💡The Club Lounge serves a massive sushi boat during the evening hors d'oeuvres presentation.
💡The minibar includes a Nespresso machine with complimentary pods, but the High Noon seltzers will cost you.
💡The hotel's gym is massive, flooded with natural light, and features a squat rack—a rarity for hotel fitness centers.
