 The Greenhouse at The Ritz-Carlton by deecat "Eventually I think that Chicago will be the most beautiful great city left in the world." Frank Lloyd Wright, architect, 1939 The only reason we ever stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Chicago is because they offered a special half price the month of my birthday one year. So, for my birthday, my husband made the arrangements to stay there. It was an incredible experience. The hotel is set atop Water Tower Place above North Michigan Avenue. It is known as one of Chicago's finest hotels (A Four Seasons Hotel). The service is renown; the guest rooms are luxurious; the food at the contemporary French Restaurant is legendary. The hotel has 435 guest rooms (91 suites and oversized rooms). Because the hotel is literally attached to Watertower Place, you can walk from the hotel into the famous shopping place. The Dining Room denotes luxury and elegance. Chef Sarah Stegner offers a personalized 8-course tasting menu. This restaurant has won numerous awards and rightfully so. It is closed on Mondays. It is most famous for the Sunday Brunch which defies description. Note: Elegant attire is required and jackets are highly recommended. The Cafe is a causual place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It is most famous for its delicious desserts (so, save room!) The Greenhouse really looks like a greenhouse with a wide expanse of windows for a view of Chicago. It is perfect for a light lunch, Afternoon Tea, a cocktail and appetizers. If you cannot stay at the hotel, at least try the food at one of these fine restaurants.
There is a Spa at the Carlton Club with a pool, a fitness center, steamroom, sauna, massage and other therapies. Services include: Valet parking, express check-in/out, 24-hour In-Room Dining, complimentary overnight shoeshine. Rooms have: Video or DVD player, twice-daily housekeeping service, CD player, Down pillows (non-allergenic pillows available which I had to ask for!), thick terrycloth bathrobes, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, complimentary local newspaper, high-speed e-mail & Internet access, and wake-up call.) This is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of place! Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averagePhone: (312)266-1000

 Should be 12 rotating photos of suite by DonnaBella We stayed in one of the two Anniversary Suites on 9/3. Our room was spacious w/2 full baths. The main bath had a nice soakingtub, albeit, a bit smaller than it appears online. Also, the view kinda sucked for $700/night. The bathroom tub has windows that overlook other buildings, and not the lake. The windows should have gone to the floor, also, to allow for a better view from the tub. Our tub did not hold water, so we had to keep the tub faucet going to keep water inside. My sink drain ran VERY slow, so it was backing up. The grout on the main shower was orange, it really needed a deep cleaning! Checked out by the front desk clerk, an Asian woman named Sofun, who was not very friendly, OR (so) fun. Did not say hello, how was your stay, OR goodbye. Hubby says he'd rather go elsewhere next time for $700. Very sad.
Room Service was good, but pricey. Creme Brulee was incredibly delicious. We once thought they had the BEST beds in the world. We no longer think that. They left us with major backaches in the morning. Pool is a strict lap pool and NOT for kids. Very nice workout room. Overnight parking is $38,and is ridiculous. Should be part of the overnight cost of the room, if you ask me.
