It's always such a pleasure to spend any time at a Ritz-Carlton and this was my first occasion to stay at our hometown version of the swank chain. My wife and I spent this past Friday night at the Charlotte Ritz for a quick Bday weekend getaway. It's just so nice that by the time you hit the front door, everyone is already welcoming you by name thanks to the valet guy and his trusty headset.
Pampered best describes the experience. From the lighting and furnishings in the lobby/bar area to the wood paneled elevators and immaculately appointed rooms. Everything is just amazing. The extra feather pillows I requested, check. Extra towels, check. Not a trick was missed.
Even leaving to drive away is a great experience. Car is there when you call for it and they leave you a gift of a small bag of house made caramel corn with a nice note, wishing you a safe drive home, tied to it with a ribbon. And yes... The caramel corn was awesome as well!
