Fodor's Expert Review The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago

160 E. Pearson St., Chicago, Illinois, 60611, USA Fodor's Choice

Sophisticated yet comfortable, the Ritz-Carlton has indoor access to the Water Tower Place shopping mall and is close to many high-end boutiques. The classy hotel specializes in showering guests with attention, and its rooms are spacious, with walk-in closets and separate dressing areas. A fitness center, indoor pool, and spa services are all close at hand, and you don't need to go far to find quality dining: Torali, an Italian steakhouse, is on the 12th floor. The restaurant also has a rooftop bar and lounge.
