Dear Ritz-Carlton Team, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for what was truly an unforgettable experience during my recent stay. Having stayed in hundreds of hotels over the years, I can confidently say that nothing has ever come close to the level of service, hospitality, and excellence I encountered at your property. From the moment I arrived, every team member I interacted with was exceptionally respectful, attentive, and kind. The service was seamless and made me feel genuinely cared for at every turn. The food was outstanding full of flavor and beautifully presented and it added to the overall sense of luxury and comfort that defined my stay. I can say without hesitation that this is now the only hotel I’m willing to stay at when I travel. Thank you for having me. I look forward to returning and experiencing this exceptional level of care and luxury again.

The lobby being on the 12th floor was a little different. Staff all very nice - not quite Four Seasons level but still pleasant and friendly. Really enjoyed the pool and dry sauna on the 11th floor, though regrettably the steam sauna was down for repair. One odd thing - the bathroom in our bedroom (I was there with my two kids), which has no lock, is one common area with the shower and toilet. So make a note - bathroom is one person at a time. No brushing your teeth while your kids use the can or shower (glass walled shower).

The hotel is nice and the location is great, but that‘s about it. Valet was hard to find at arrival. Quality of food in club level was very poor and only little choices. I like to spoil myself but next stay in Chicago will be at acompetitor for sure.

Our new go-to in Chicago

We had a great experience during two different stays over a long weekend. The location is convenient despite being tricky to drive into; however once our car as parked we were able to walk absolutely everywhere. The rooms are comfortable with fabulous views. The gym has everything you could need. And Rudy the bellman was so friendly and helpful. We are from Chicago and now live out of the country. However when we come back to visit family, we will return to the Ritz in the Magnificent Mile. We look forward to seeing Rudy’s smile soon!
