The Rates at The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago

"The average-size Deluxe rooms are well worth the nominal increase in price, because standard rooms are small for the rates (380 to 405 sq ft)"

"“Every detail is attended to” at this “world-class” property perched atop the Water Tower Place mall on the Magnificent Mile, where many of the “exceptional”, large-windowed rooms feature views of the lake or city; although a stay is “expensive”, the "outstanding" service, "amazing" spa, "excellent" room service and location with "easy access to shopping on Michigan Avenue" all add up to a "treat"

"Guest rooms follow suit with antique armoires and expensive fabrics in fine prints"
