Anyone stay at the Ritz-Carleton in D.C.? I’ve never stayed at a Ritz location so I’m curious to hear what to expect. Will be in D.C. for a conference so my firm is covering the trip.

Kinda dingy/dated but it’s still the Ritz. Not their best though

Agreed, also the location isn’t that convenient. Positive, there’s a sweetgreen on the same block.

Meh, Ritz is “factory” luxury. Don’t expect much - just a Marriott that’s a tad bit nicer.

Where’s your conference? If at Convention Center, go with Marriott Marquis.

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?

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
