A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

The Ritz Carlton is located in City Center, about a 20 minute ride (flat fee) from the airport.

The hotel is centrally located, close to local transportation, shopping and a wide variety of restaurants. The service was exactly what you would expect for a luxury hotel, check in/out was seamless, the doors were held open for you when you entered and exited the premises, and everyone was helpful and friendly.

The lobby is impressive (it was formerly a bank), where modern and classic collide – the dark wood and bright colors make for a sharp contrast against the tall white marble pillars.

They have two places to dine on site, 10 Arts Lounge and 10 Arts Bistro. 10 Arts Lounge, pictured above is in the lobby and is open Monday – Sunday: 11 a.m. – 12 a.m. 10 Arts Bistro is a farm to table restaurant, open for breakfast lunch and dinner:

Breakfast:
Monday – Friday 6:30 a.m. – 11 a.m.
Saturday – Sunday 7 a.m. – 12 a.m.

Lunch:
Monday – Friday 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Dinner:
Tuesday – Saturday: 5:30 p.m. – 10 p.m.

I love the classic shoe shine chairs.

Check in is at 3pm and check out is at noon.

They have a simple but classic color palette.

The room was quite spacious and had great views of the city down below.

You could hear some noise from the city, but it wasn’t horrible – people letting their doors slam in your hallway was more bothersome.

One room had a spacious walk in shower.

The other had a shower/tub combo with a mirror on the wall (which I always find a bit disconcerting). Overall a really nice hotel, a good stay for the limited time we were in the actual hotel room. We were certainly go back and stay there again.
