The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago

Poised atop the monumental Water Tower Place, The Ritz-Carlton Chicago wafts through the air high above the Magnificent Mile. From lavish décor to attentive service, each element of this urban sanctuary captures the essence of timeless luxury. Bedrooms and suites boast large picture windows that showcase stunning city views. Torali is more than a restaurant; it’s a dining experience. Overlooking Chicago from the 12th floor, Torali offers a modern steakhouse with an Italian touch. Traditional antipasti and handmade pastas are featured alongside prime and dry-aged meats, and Old World-inspired cocktails and fine wines are best enjoyed in the copper-clad bar or the lounge-inspired rooftop. The luxury experience at this Chicago hotel extends to its spa, where guests are invited to forget the outside world if only for a few hours.
