夏洛特麗思卡爾頓飯店

Hm, this did not seem like a 5-star hotel in the least. A spa retreat is supposed to be an escape. A reset. The good: The steam room. The singular digital shower with 270 spray heads. The facial. The men's side assistant. The not-so-good: The spa staff that was not trained nor naturally genuine, quite stiff (manager didn't hire the right people), to the massage that I felt like I was in trouble for not being able to loosen when I had explained I was there for a fatigued neck and legs from backpacking(additionally appt was at 18:00, was told I would be fetched at 17:55, was hastily fetched at 18:03 and had 3-5minutes of eval, and was risen at 19:00 promptly, very unfortunate), the "relaxation room" which was SO COLD and furniture that my 154cm husband couldn't fit on without legs hanging off (i'm 175cm and it felt like childrens furniture), to the cold, albeit heated, pool, surrounding by the same mini-furniture and birds of paradise potters that needed attention and an ambient room temperature at 18C, the dry sauna that doubtly went above 65C. The gym, whilst well equipped was VERY cramped with all of the aforementioned well-equipped equipment. Too much in that space. TLDR: If you are looking for a spa in that area, find a spa that specializing in being a spa. This was a real letdown. -$600.

Ya there are reasons people stay here and I know what they are ... none of them come close to being worth spending time you'll never get back at this pretentious stuffy anti-social building. If you're into networking it's the opposite. Everything here is a big deal...I do mean everything. The staff don't know how to act & behave like everything they do is a magic trick or requires some esoteric insight. Some of the dumbest people I've ever seen. I've been to many other ritz carlton's and haven't seen one like this. If someone covered my stay here I would out-of-pocket go somewhere else, it's that bad. If you must go check it out because of the location and it being the only 5 star rated hotel in the city ...If you must get it out of your system go only one night and get the hell out . It's sad there are places like this ...There didn't used to be.
