Ritz-Carlton
For Connoisseurs
Back to Ritz-Carlton
My wife and I went for our first visit to Atlanta and our first stay in a Ritz Carlton. We are not rich folk but we did not spare the expense. The hotel is in a good location but there are 10 other brand name hotels within two blocks as well. I was most dissappointed with the parking expense of $27 a day, $10 a day for in room internet access, and no pool. Yes the staff remembers your name. I want to be respected, I don't care if someone remembers my name. The food is too expensive. One morning we had a coffe, tea, toast and begal for about $26. Another morning we tried the breakfast buffet for just under $50. We ate about as much foood as you might buy at IHOP for $20. The room was nice, clean but we didn't spend too much time in it. For an average couple, earning an average wage, it was not anything special. We would have been better off in a Marriott or Hyatt. We came home with many great stories and opinions of Atlanta. We told our family that they visit Atlanta. Unfortunately we have nothing outstanding to say about our choice of lodging. If your travel plan is to visit Atlanta, eat locally, and have a clean, comfortable, and affordable place to stay, pick some place else to stay. Next time I will.

I stayed here considering my birthday and trying to do something special for the B day weekend. I was disappointed in the quality of the room. Thinking that the Ritz is the top of the line, this fell short of that, wayyyy short. I would of felt the same in a four star. There wasnt a pool, gym was weak, and didnt have the overall feel of being in a grand hotel. I know its different strokes for different folks however this will not be up to your expectations!!!!!!!!

The dining experience is unforgetable. Claude and the others are friendly, yet not intrusive, professional but not stuffy!

Location is great. It is a 10 minute walk to Atlanta aquarium which is wonderful and the new Coca-Cola Museum opening summer "07".Hard Rock cafe, Hooters and McDonalds is within walking distance. Peachtree Mall is a short walk away with many nice stores and a great food-court. Taxi's are stationed at the hotel and for you baseball fans, Turner Field is $20.00 round-trip. This was a first stay for us at a Ritz and it was everything we expected from the name. Everyone from the the front desk to the bell-hop was exceptionally pleasant and friendly, calling us by our names always. The Ritz is known for their many perks they have from the robes and slippers to the Egyptian high-count sheets and down-filled pillows. I had mentioned it was a special wk-end for us when making the reservations and our first night on the town,we were pleasantly surprised to find upon our return,champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries in the room. We felt so welcomed that we are planning another get-a-way to this wonderful hotel. I would highly recommend this Ritz

This hotel was picked because of the price. It's cheap for a '5 star' hotel, and it's cheap for a reason. The reason is: IT'S NO 5 STAR HOTEL. It just doesn't live up to the service, decoration, or anything else. I mean it's NOT a bad hotel, not at all. It's just not a 5 star. If your reading this review looking for a snooty-tuity ultimate luxury hotel, this isn't it. But if your in the 5 star section thinking you can just find an above average nice place, you found yourself a darn good jackpot.

Love the location - right across from Lennox Mall and central to most of Atlanta.

We chose the Ritz-Carlton Atlanta (Peachtree location) for a long "date" weekend. And we were not disappointed with the selection. We spent 2 nights at the Ritz on the "Bed and Breakfast" package. This included one of the best beds I've ever slept in, breakfast either in our room (which we chose) or in the restaurant and complimentary valet parking. Everything was perfect. The rooms are very clean, the housekeeping staff is excellent. Everyone was quite friendly and welcoming. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be returning.
