The Ritz-Carlton Chicago

Water Tower Place flagship that welcomes two small dogs

Book this stay

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A flagship luxury hotel atop Water Tower Place on the Gold Coast, steps from Magnificent Mile shopping, with large picture windows and city or lake views. It suits travellers who want white-glove service and a small dog in tow. The distinctive detail is the higher-end pet fee that matches the address, at USD 250 per stay. Amenities are simple, with beds and bowls held at the front desk rather than a full pet programme.

Why it's in the collection

Seneca Park and Lake Shore Park sit a block or two east for a quick leg-stretch, and the on-leash Lakefront Trail is a short walk away. The nearest fenced off-leash area is not within easy walking distance, so lakefront walks are the play.

Best suited for

Two pets, each up to 25 lb (11 kg), with a non-refundable USD 250 per-stay fee.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Pets must be leashed or carried in common areas. No grassy relief area on site, but a park sits across the street.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
