Going to Miami for a couple nights. W South Beach, Ritz, or Edition?

At the Ritz for the night. Anyone wanna grab drinks? Lol

Like S& doesn’t allow Business Class flights (below Principal) and Ritz Carlton stay in Riyadh due to cost constraints.

Ritz Carlton South Beach…worth it or nah?

Which Boston based Marriott Hotels do you prefer? Ritz? W?

Has anyone used Marriott points at the ritz Turks and Caicos? Worth it? It’s 416,000 points for a 5 night stay, meaning it’s like 104k per night with the 1 night free.

Seems in line with other high end Caribbean offerings (eg. Ritz Aruba) but also that’s awfully high.

Looking for NYC hotel recommendations for a wedding by Central Park. Ideally with some type of view for first look photos and the like.

Hotels - West Hollywood EDITION or Ritz Carlton downtown? Have a concert at the Greek theater to go to

Anyone got x2 base points from Bonvoy?

I made a “milestone stay” at Ritz in LA when I hit Titanium last month. While I was welcomed by some macarons and a personal letter, I wasn’t informed that the stay would double my base points (I spent $2k in room charge, which got me 40k base points instead of only 20k).

Is that a discretionary move by the property manager, by the Bonvoy team, a stated policy or just a technical glitch?

(of my last 6 years of travelling I never got x2 points)

Ritz, Langham, or Four Season in Chicago?

Normally a bonvoy guy, but heard the other two are great

Which Bonvoy mattress is best (e.g., Westin, Ritz, etc)? Getting a new mattress and want to take advantage of the 40% off benefit for staying 50 nights. Recognize this is subjective but curious is there is a consensus. Thanks!

Thoughts on the ritz Carlton on Oahu?

Have ambassador status but never get upgraded at a Ritz. What am I doing wrong? I thought part of ambassador is they have to upgrade you to the highest available room or am I totally off base? Just pushed hard to get ambassador and seeing zero return atm.

Staying at the Ritz and STR in the Maldives so expecting good service and reading mixed things about tipping. I usually don’t tip much at hotels (never really thought about it) but what do people do? Is there an expectation and would the amount be based on like room rate or just a flat daily per day?

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

Doing an elopement and staycation in Philly. Should we stay at the Four Seasons, the Ritz, or the W? I have bonvoy and Amex points to burn!

Decades ago, mainstream media would claim that we advertisers would work all kinds of calculated witchcraft into our ads; that we retouched the word ‘S.E.X’ into the dimples of a Ritz cracker, etc. Many consumers took it as gospel, while we all know it to be bullocks. We’re too busy getting ANY NORMAL message approved, let alone a stippled naughty word. All that said, have you ever managed to sneak any harmless little thing/word/innuendo into an ad?

Fishes,
