This was our first stay at any Ritz-Carlton hotel, however not our first stay in New York City so we were able to compare the experience to others. By far, this is the finest hotel we have stayed at in the city, as well as being in a lovely location overlooking the water and Statue of Liberty.
From the moment we arrived, the staff and environment of the hotel was lovely and generous. The check in was simple and as a cute addition, and I am not sure if this is standard practice or because it was the weekend before Valentines Day, we received with our check-in materials a little red baggie with Hershey kisses. It was just a thoughtful little touch.
The room was spacious, crisp, and everything I could have hoped for. The bed is large and comfortable with ample room to sit at the desk of the oversize chair. The bathroom is very large, and with a tub and standing shower adjacent, you and a spouse could enjoy bubble baths or a nice hot shower. I would also like to mention that great water pressure of this hotel, which can sometimes be disappointing.
The hotel gym was fantastic. Bosu balls, mats, medicine balls, a cable machine, some regular machines, and free weights all provided. Water and towels at every station. I was able to do my usual weights routine with ample space, and the treadmills and elliptical in great condition.
Had a massage at the spa. Lovely, serene space. Great robes, accommodations in the spa.
