Fodor's Review:

If you're staying this far downtown, the Ritz is your top choice. The hotel provides the classic Ritz-Carlton experience—you'll be greeted by at least one staffer each time you walk into the hotel or enter the lobby from your room—and the big rooms boast sweeping views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. West-facing rooms come with telescopes. Happily, the rooms diverge from the typical fussy Ritz-Carlton decor, with designer touches like marble baths and modern wood desks. The superlative staff includes a bath butler who can fill your soaking tub with anything from rose petals to rubber duckies. There's steak-house fare at 2 West and a hopping post-work scene at the outdoor Rise Bar on the 14th floor, but neither are exceptional, considering the markup. Pros: NYC's only waterfront luxury hotel; best base for downtown exploring; pet- and kid-friendly; Liberty views. Cons: removed from Midtown tourist sights; limited nighttime activities; few neighborhood options for dining and entertainment.
