RC Chicago to become ... a Ritz-Carlton
just released...
Four Seasons to Cease Management of The Ritz-Carlton Chicago (A Four Seasons Hotel)
On July 31, 2015, Four Seasons will be concluding its management of The Ritz-Carlton Chicago (A Four Seasons Hotel). Effective August 1, 2015, the Hotel will become a full participant in the Ritz-Carlton system. This means that the Hotel will no longer be a Ritz-Carlton in name only, but it will be a part of the Ritz-Carlton family of hotels.
As you may know, Four Seasons is a management company that operates the Hotel on behalf of the Hotel’s owner, an affiliate of JMB Realty Corporation (JMB). JMB also owns Four Seasons Hotel Chicago, and this management transition does not affect that hotel. Four Seasons and JMB will continue to work together for years to come to provide Four Seasons legendary service at its namesake hotel in the city, Four Seasons Hotel Chicago.
We greatly value our relationship with you and apologize for any inconvenience that this transition may cause you or your clients. We look forward to welcoming you to Four Seasons Hotel Chicago or one of the other more than 90 properties Four Seasons manages around the world in the near future. Please do not hesitate to contact your Four Seasons Account Director if you have any questions.
