Crafted from handblown glass infused with blue tones that recall Lake Michigan, the wavelike sculpture Flying Wave anchors the 12th-floor lobby of the Ritz-Carlton, Chicago, courtesy of San Francisco firm BAMO.

Also on the 12th floor, the Italian restaurant Torali includes a dramatic canopy of 49 suspended glass globe lights that sit above the bar.

Metallic, Art Deco-style screens, a sculpture, and cool gray marble add dimension to an interior space off the lobby.

Influenced by the building’s exterior and Chicago’s rich architectural heritage, gray marble columns and metallic screens flank the reception area.

Roy Lichtenstein’s Wallpaper with Blue Floor Interior in the ground-floor lobby is one of several standouts in the hotel’s art collection.

The onsite art collection draws inspiration from the neighboring Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, highlighting media from sculpture to lithographs.

All 90 rooms feature a refined minimalism informed by the surrounding scenery of the city.
