“Good looking hotel, lacks personality”

Hotel review by: ClassyLad
From: Brisbane
Date: Dec 21, 2009

This is a lovely hotel located in the heart of New York. We recently stayed here for five nights. We enjoyed a great view of Central Park on an upper floor. The room was very large and comfortable - everything you would expect for the premium price paid (there's nothing complimentary in this hotel - you pay top dollar for everything). I couldn't fault any aspect of the room.

The concierge service was truly amazing - they were lucky enough to find us last minute tables at some popular nearby restaurants. One of the best concierge services ever... truly professional with all the right contacts.

The popular lobby and bar area was difficult to get a table in and we had to wait each time, if we could be bothered. You were made to feel as though you had walked in from the street.

Despite its premier location, this hotel lacked that special charm I have experienced in other hotels, including in New York. Some service aspects were far too mechanical and robot like.

“Quiet Haven Amidst the Noise”

Hotel review by: suze_shoes
From: Wall, New Jersey
Date: Nov 29, 2009

We celebrated our wedding anniversary with a trip into NYC and enjoyed the quiet of the Ritz Carlton. Our room was on 6th Avenue, but we were able to see Central Park. The room was spacious, spotless and serene. The service is impeccable. This hotel is highly recommended!

"Finest hotel in Manhattan”

Yes, the nightly rates are more than many people pay a month for rent- but you get what you pay for. The expedia special rate with the club lounge access was especially appreciated. At many hotels a club lounge means some pretzels and cheap chardonnay. At the Ritz, it entails five different food and drink servings a day, all of which are arguably as good as any restaurant in the city. Every detail is absolutely perfect. How about a hotel that gives you a wood shoe box to leave your shoes outside the room door at the end of the day (in one case for me, at 1 am) and the next morning by 7am your shoes are returned polished and shined, complimentary? That's no exaggeration, and probably the most succinct example of what sets this hotel apart. And how about getting on the elevator to go to your room, and one day standing beside the prime minister of Pakistan; then the next day standing beside a very well known hollywood star? No trips out needed to see the famous folks when you are "in residence" at the Ritz... I will have to save more for all my future NYC trips, because after staying here there is no way to go anywhere else.

“Trouble with Gift Certificates”

Hotel review by: elmhurstpegger
From: Elmhursr, PA
Date: Jun 9, 2008

My family and friends for my 60th birthday (Feb. 2008) bought me 15 gift certificates to the Ritz Carlton for the expressed purpose of staying at this hotel. Check in May 24, 2008 and am told these are no longer elligible to used at this property.

On the back of this cerificate the hotel is clearly identified as one of the participating hotels in the Ritz program. When they were purchased the only hotel they were intended to be used the Central PArk location. Now what good are they?
I can return them and get the money back but what of the original intent? A birthday present lost.
Ritx Carlton has lost my business and I want every one to know be careful when purchasing git certificates to this hotel.
