Fodor's Review:
A luxurious retreat with stellar views of Central Park, the former St. Moritz hotel is easily one of the top properties in the city. No request is too difficult for the superlative Ritz staff, one reason the hotel's a favorite of celebrities and royalty. Quietly elegant rooms and suites are sumptuous without feeling stiff or stuffy, with high thread-count sheets and rich, plush fabrics throughout. La Prairie at the Ritz-Carlton Spa is a pampering treat. Chef Laurent Tourondel is set to open a BLT Market here in late 2007, featuring an upscale seasonal menu. For getting around town in style, Bentley car service is available upon request.

Nice Room, But 'Stinky' Location
Posted by YoConn004 from New Jersey on 12/18/06
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.
