Top of the line

by Lilibet722

It cannot get any better than this. If you are looking for high quality and exceptional service, this is the place to stay. Our children could not stay away from the telescope in our room. Just imagine, being able to see the Statue of Liberty up close as your view. Since we stayed for Thanksgiving, we were able to enjoy the meal they were offering for the holiday . It was scrumptious. Their lounge, Rise, on the 14th floor serves great drinks with a breathtaking view.

• Pros: Wonderful experience
• Cons: Away from fine stores

The world-class chain reigns over downtown with a stunning, waterfront hotel.

by Sandra Ramani

The Scene
Boasting sweeping harbor views, this hotel features a more contemporary design for the venerable chain: light wood, pale colors, deco-inspired rooms and original pieces by New York artists like Ross Bleckner and Joseph Stashkeveich. Unique services and attention to detail exceed expectations; bath butlers, telescopes, and "power" tea service add to the luxury. It's popular with business travelers, but the romantic location, relaxed vibe and family-friendly offerings make it perfect for others as well.

The Details
The 298 rooms, spread over 14 floors and including city/harbor view rooms, junior suites, Liberty suites and Ritz-Carlton suites, feature Frette sheets, feather beds and goose-down pillows and Bernard bathrobes; suites include Ritz-Carlton pajamas. Enjoy a health club with spa services, 24-hour room service, complimentary downtown shuttle service and state-of-the-art business center. The RC Club floor offers private lounge and meal service; otherwise, dine at the 2 West and Lobby Lounge restaurants or Rise Bar.

Excellent hotel experience

by mr_meursault

I've stayed at this hotel two or three times and I highly recommend it. The rooms are spacious. The bathrooms are excellent and have deep bathtubs. The bath products are top notch. The service is also wonderful. The last time I stayed, I had the flu, and having such excellent accommodations made me feel better. The staff kept bringing pots of hot water to my room at no charge, so I could make tea. The restaurant was nice, but not excellent. I found the steaks to be undercooked and the tuna too spicy. However, overall, this was one of the best hotel stays I've ever had.

• Pros: Luxury, Service

Everything top-notch...except for the location

by thetotalpackage

I love this hotel if it was closer to the action but some people might like that. Very friendly staff upgraded me from my already nice room to an even nicer one. Very large with great views and beautiful decor and bathroom.

The health club was average, ok in a pinch since nothing is close. Room service is fine. The much-heralded Rise was a disappointment. Overrun by annoying yuppies who demand the best views with their nasally voices so they can nurse their one drink for hours.

• Pros: Very nice rooms, Excellent staff, great views
• Cons: out of the way locale, Rise ruined by yuppie

Two Thumbs UP!!!!

by andrewandconnie

This is definitely one of the world's great hotels! First class service. The staff is courteous and takes care of your every need promptly and happily. An excellent hotel. Walking distance from Wall Street, Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty Pier. The rooms are wonderful, lovely and CLEAN! The telescope allowed us to view the Statue of Liberty up close, New York Harbor, New Jersey skyline and Battery Park. Unbelievable/Breathtaking View!(Superb direct view of Statue of Liberty). Leaving this hotel is heartbreaking! Thanks Ritz-Carlton Battery Park!

• Pros: View, Clean, Romantic

Outstanding

by cgilbertie1

Outstanding hotel...I live in Manhattan...and went to the Ritz for a "spa weekend". It was an incredible value given the staff, the location and the amenitites. I loved it and plan to visit on a regular basis. I felt as though I truly got away from the City...yet I was only 15 minutes from home. Thank you Ritz Battery Park!
