Ritzy Georgetown

The Ritz Carlton in Georgetown is elegant and exclusive; it is one of the Carlton’s smallest properties yet carries a lot of zip. The property is near the heart of Georgetown and near M Street so a short walk takes you to the local action. The suites are spacious and filled with amenities, the tub more like a small pool. The hotel offers privacy to celebrities and guests that is prized in DC.

Perhaps the most amazing part of the Ritz Carlton Georgetown is its history. The building was once an historic incinerator then was left empty for many years. The 130 foot smoke stack still stands and today houses a private room. The sleek interior of the hotel is filled with art work and the lobby perfect for sitting in and having a “Fahrenheit 5 Martini”, the signature cocktail.

Heading to the Ritz

Today I head to Washington DC to visit a Ritz Carlton, plans made months ago. This Ritz is supposed to be a gem. It was once an incinerator plant and now is a highly rated hotel with accolades galore. I have never been to Washington as strange as that seems and a day at the Smithsonian is on my list. Perhaps a massage thrown in will clear away my China fog.
