The Ritz

Few hotels can say that they've entered everyday language, but the Ritz has become synonymous with luxury. A major restoration has brought the hotel's original turn-of-the-century style some way into the 21st century: It's still a glitzy mix of gold-leafed molding, marble columns, and potted palms, but new carpeting and air-conditioning have been installed in the guest rooms, and an overall polish has put the Ritz back center-stage. The Belle Epoque guest rooms, each with its own character, are spacious and comfortable. Many have marble fireplaces, elaborate gilded plasterwork, and a decor of soft pastel hues. Opt for a corner room: they're grander and more spacious.
