Stayed at both this year. I’d choose the ritz.

Thanks everyone!

And yes, VP1 is correct - I have a free night from a Marriott credit card up to 50K points, which happens to cover every Marriott property on the date we’re going. I do love the Langham and would stay there in a heartbeat, but happen to want to use the free night this time.

Thanks for the recs! Going with Ritz this time, I think.

I prefer the Gwen, but the ritz is also nice. Not Marriott, but the Langham is better than both of them.

I assume OP has points or needs the points.

The Langham is better than both these options.

Ritz. Gwen has no coffee maker in the room. You can ask them to bring one but only after you've checked in...Big hassle if you're an early riser that wants caffeine asap.
