The Ritz-Carlton

The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago’s sweeping Lake Michigan views and modern cuisine are just a few reasons why it ranks as one of the Best Hotels in Chicago and the No. 33 best hotel in the country. Guests can dine on handmade pasta and prime cuts of meat at Italian steakhouse Torali or opt for light bites at the restaurant’s rooftop lounge. In a city known for its top-notch architecture and design, this property doesn’t disappoint: The hotel incorporates sleek marble and steel materials along with sculptures, a curated art collection and light, airy common spaces. The accommodations meet the high standard set by the Ritz-Carlton brand, and visitors were particularly impressed with the rooms’ size and cleanliness.
