"Starting at $85 per person, available seasonally For a traditional afternoon tea that doesn't feel stuffy, go to the Ritz-Carlton. Tea service happens in a calm space with lots of big windows, skylights, and exceptionally deep chairs you can sink into while enjoying the creative snacks—like a lobster roll stuffed into a cannoli shell or a lemon buttermilk tart decorated like a baby chick. Presentation is clearly important, from the artfully designed food to the attentive but not intrusive service. Despite not having a large tea selection (only six options to choose from), the Ritz is one of the best spots for a relaxing, seasonally-themed tea service." - veda kilaru

"Inside the Ritz-Carlton at Water Tower Place, Torali has a new executive chef, Guenther Moreno, a native Filipino who previously worked for the Ritz-Carlton in Palm Beach and at Peninsula Chicago." - Ashok Selvam
"The Ritz-Carlton is the best place to have a relaxed afternoon tea in Chicago. The surroundings are relatively casual, located on the top floor of the hotel adjacent to the lobby and alongside a Starbucks (which, fortunately, is closed on Saturday and Sunday when tea service is available). Instead of dealing with tourists, you’ll be treated to a calm space with skylights, big windows, and exceptionally deep chairs you can sink into while enjoying creative snacks—like a lobster roll stuffed into a cannoli shell or a lemon buttermilk tart decorated like a baby chick. Presentation is important here, from the artfully designed food to the attentive but not intrusive service. Despite not having a large tea selection (only six options to choose from), the Ritz is one of our favorite spots for tea." - Veda Kilaru
"The hotel named an executive chef to lead all food-and-beverage outlets including the restaurant, bar, cafe, rooftop, room service, and catering; with prior hotel executive experience at a Spanish‑influenced property, he is positioned to manage large-scale hotel culinary operations." - Ashok Selvam
