at Sage Hospitality Group in Chicago, Illinois, United States
Job Description
Why us?
Iconic architecture, a thriving culinary scene, beautifully landscaped public spaces and an array of museums are just part of what draws visitors to the Windy City. At The Ritz-Carlton, Chicago, a luxury hotel set atop Water Tower Place in the historic Gold Coast, guests will have every chance to explore the city, from shopping along Michigan Avenue to viewing famous works at the Art Institute. Yet with our hotel’s spa, rooftop lounge, locally inspired restaurant, indoor lap pool and spacious accommodations overlooking the city, guests may not want to leave the premises.
Dining at this downtown Chicago hotel begins with Torali, a modern Italian steakhouse favoring handmade pastas and dry-aged meats. The experience extends to its bar and rooftop, both internationally inspired and locally driven, and The Café offering specialty coffee in a greenhouse-inspired space.
