The Ritz Carlton hotels are luxury resort located in more than 20 major cities in the world. The Ritz Carlton name came from the Swiss owner of the idea, César Ritz. Cesar died in 1918, although his wife continued opening hotel in his name. The first Ritz Carlton Hotel is the Ritz-Carlton Montreal. It was built in 1912 in Montreal (Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, Wikipedia). The hotels chain started with very few hotels. After receiving two awards, the hotel chain grew quickly in the U.S


              The most famous Ritz Carlton Hotel was the Ritz Carlton Boston. The property was sold over 5 times. It was first owned by The Ritz-Arlington in 1927. The owner, Edward N. Wyner died in late 1961. After his death, his 6 sons sold the property to Cabot, Cabot & Forbes 3 years later. Gerald F.

            The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is the only hotel that won 2 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Awards. The Ritz-Carlton Charlotte is the first Ritz-Carlton Hotel to win a LEED Gold Certificate and earn 5 diamonds. The Ritz-Carlton LA was also awarded with LEED Silver Certificate (Hotels Reviews, Oyster). With all these accomplishments, The Ritz-Carlton Mega Kuningan had an unfortunate incident in 2009. Two suicide bombers attacked the hotel in the 17th of July (Ritz-Carlton, Wikipedia).

       
         

           The Ritz-Carlton is without a doubt, one of the best hotels in the world. Luxury and Service is what it known from. The employees are always aiming for the customer satisfaction. Everyone that visits the hotels is treated with royalty. The Philosophy of the hotel is “Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen”. The Ritz-Carlton Hotels is also known for making employees go through special training before working at the hotels in The Ritz-Carlton Learning Institute. Even the managers go through a special training to ensure that the employees are managed by a skilled person with leading skills. The Ritz-Carlton Learning Institute and The Ritz-Carlton Leadership Center are unique steps to the Ritz-Carlton Hotels (Luxury Hotels & Luxury Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton).

           The Ritz-Carlton truly is a magnificent company, everyone working that worked or still working should be happy. However, working for a big company like Ritz-Carlton requires a lot of skills. Managing the employees will require leadership skills. Being an employee will require patience and precision. Even though I like to write, I’d still be happy to work as a manager in The Ritz-Carlton.
