The Ritz-Carlton Review

It's all about the park views here. Service aside, the competition among properties near the park's south side is fierce, and although the Ritz isn't the foremost of the bunch, it does offer some nice perks. Chief among them is the above-and-beyond service, accommodating to a fault, that makes it popular with celebs and other demanding guests. Rooms have typical high-end perks (Etro bath products, exclusively made 400-thread-count French sateen linens) and one that's not so standard: a telescope for viewing park wildlife. The gym is small, however, as is the La Prairie at The Ritz-Carlton Spa. Laurent Tourondel operates the seasonal BLT Market restaurant on the ground floor.

    My husband and I celebrated our 28th wedding anniversary by staying the weekend at the Ritz and while the suite overlooking the park was perfect and the service impeccable, as we stood in the lobby by the front doors waiting for a limo to take us to dinner, the horse manure smell from the horse&buggy carriages right across the street was a turn off. We couldn't pass the lobby without smelling the stench. The location was okay, but we would prefer to stay closer to Saks, Rockefeller Center, etc., especially at Christmas. With the crowds, it was a pain getting to Fifth Avenue shopping. We wouldn't stay there again.
