What guests think

Many guests highlight warm, attentive service and thoughtful touches, though others report lapses such as rude or slow interactions and occasional check-in or housekeeping frustrations. Rooms are often modern and comfortable with standout beds and views, but a number of comments cite dated areas, limited storage, inconsistent temperature control, or missing amenities like fridges; some also note Wi‑Fi name issues or accessibility room mixups. Dining feedback is mixed, with praise for room service and lounge offerings balanced by reports of a closed restaurant, limited bar options, slow rooftop service, a poorly prepared dish, and high prices, while spa value and uptime also vary. Expect an upscale, well-located stay with occasional inconsistencies.

Too expensive for such a basic room. Cheap towels and toilet paper. Broken wall switches. Handle on bathroom door broke. Just a basic room with nothing special. No refrigerator or microwave. For almost $5000 for just 3 nights I had to pay for valet parking and all food (not even free snacks). Complimentary breakfast would have been great for $5000. Bathroom was nice but just a waste of money. Not sure what all the money was for. Will not recommend or ever go back.

Everything was at the level you'd expect from a Ritz-Carlton. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed that the restaurant was closed. This was not mentioned in the booking process or in any of the correspondence before our arrival. We had planned on having a birthday dinner at the hotel.

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).

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!

Terrible experience. I have stayed at many Ritz Carleton properties. This Chicago location was very disappointing. The staff are rude, aloof and disorganized. Upon arrival the door man doesn’t even open the front door. Restaurant staff are rude and take forever to serve you. Upon check out I didn’t even get asked how my stay was. In addition, the cleaning staff knocks on your door way prior to check out demanding when we are leaving. The spa is a disaster. I had booked services for myself and my mom and when we arrive they are telling us someone cancelled our reservation. After 20 mins of back and forth finally I said we are leaving then she says “oh I was mistaken.” I found your services. What kind of Ritz Carlton is this? They could learn a lot from the Ritz Carlton in Toronto. This would never have taken place in Toronto.

This is not a Ritz Carlton Hotel. Dirty and bad conditions towels. Unpolite staff at front desk, especially Ryan. Unskilled concierges at night. The property is old, with poor spa facilities. Rooms are old and without automation. Cheap finishings at bathroom. Bar and Restaurant with no charm. Having a Starbucks inside is something for a 3 or 4 star hotel.

This was my first time staying at the Ritz in Chicago and it did not live up to prior expectations. The door to our room actually locked us out after leaving it and almost took out the whole door jam when trying to get back in. They left the door jam broken and simply got us back in. Mold in the shower the floor to the bathroom didn't look like it had been cleaned in months. Also found food and a fork behind the curtain upon arrival. Not impressed at all!

When I stay at a five-star hotel, I want to feel like I’m staying at a five-star hotel. Rooms are clean and beautiful. Everyone was so nice but there were definitely annoyances with service. 1. They brought us a cheese and sausage platter when noone in the room so by the time we got back from shopping it was warm. We had to call the front desk and they needed to perform an investigation before we could be sent a new one 2. I needed a fridge for my breastmilk and pump. I had to call two times because after four hours the refrigerator never came 3. Although there is a thermostat you can control in the room, you actually really can’t control it. It is motion detected so if you’re not in the room or if you are in the bathroom, you’re watching TV or sleeping it’s going to default to 68. I expect more from a 5 star hotel. If they can charge you like a five star hotel… 550$/ night, 19% room service fee, 7.50$ delivery fee they should accommodate you.

I have stayed in all kinds of hotels from Motel 6 to the Waldorf Astoria New York. I hesitated staying at Ritz because of the stigma of being "Ritzy". I was very disappointed that my room was not at all "Ritzy" On the contrary it was ordinary. Ordinary as compared to a Holiday Inn. Biggest complaint was the fact that there was no closet space, no drawers, and no place in the bathroom to put anything away. I stayed for over a week and wanted to unpack. I had to live out of my suitcase. I saw signs that you had "redefined luxury". I agree, you changed the feeling of luxury to ordinary. When I visited the Ritz in Chicago for a drink many years ago, I thought it was beautiful. Now, I must again use the word "ordinary". I won't be staying with you again. I can get ordinary anywhere.

Not to the typical Ritz level. Traveled in very early. Did not get early check in. Asked for late check out. Was given an extra hour but housekeeping showed up at regular check out time. Elevators not adequate for volume of people. We did not get housekeeping after leaving at 9am and returning almost 3pm. Front desk was indifferent. Again, nothing horrible but not a value for price paid and definitely not consistent with prior Ritz experiences.

Horrible customer service from the check in manager. Room booked for 3 people. Sleep room only for two. Was lied about rollaway bed being available and would be complementary due to the sleeping arrangements not existing for 3. Rollaway bedding was not available. Was offered another room at a rate more than twice the rate paid originally. No one cared how my stay was during the stay or after. No one even asked during the checkout. This was a complete failure in customer service.

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.

Raquel at the front is definitely a stand out. She should be commended with her top quality, customer service and her positive positive attitude. She was such a great person to meet and a wonderful representation of the Ritz collection. My overall experience was absolutely wonderful and I am quite surprised due to the fact that there was a huge conference going on and numerous people constantly coming and going the Ritz and Staff never skipped a beat.

Mostly very nice, but rooms are somewhat small; there's no dressing area. It seems that they are trying to save money any way they can. No turndown service. No printed room service menu, which is important if you're older and your eyes are not great. It took 3 tries to get a current room service menu, at which point I just went to Devil Dawgs on Rush St. There are no napkins in the mini bar. Only sparse artwork in the halls and rooms. It just feels...sparse and under supplied. I really loved this hotel before their most recent renovation. There was a beautiful fountain in the lobby. I believe it included a sculpture of cranes. The lobby now looks generic. I know the fountain seemed dated at some point, but if only they had the courage to keep it for a few years, it'd be revered again. Overall, it was disappointing. I'd recommend the Langham or the Peninsula over the Ritz, though I've only stayed in 3 of Chicago's 5-star hotels. Maybe the others are worse.

My wife and I had a reservation for the club level and up graded to a suite at ck in . It was NOT an upgrade . We shared a wall with the lounge kitchen . The smells constantly filled our room AND the cleaning crew started in the lounge at 1 AM making it hard to sleep until they finished cleaning . Also the bathroom was NOT an upgrade There was only 1 sink , no separate shower only a bath tub with shower and the tub had no safety Matt For the cost of over $1000 per night this was NOT the service we expected from a 5 star hotel . The only upgrade was expanded room space .
