TODAY'S ESCAPE: THE HEART OF LUXURY IN THE CITY BY THE BAY

The Ritz-Carlton, San Francisco is where this avid ESCAPESEEKER is bound today!  It has been quite a while since I've stayed at this legendary luxury hotel,  and I cannot wait to see for myself the results of the hotel's recent $12.5 million renovation.  I thought it was fabulous before, so I'm excited to experience the new version.  The Ritz-Carlton has always been synonymous with impeccable service and refined living.  

What my family and I have always liked about this hotel--it is just blocks away from all of our favorite San Francisco landmark attractions, like Union Square (no surprise--my girls love the shopping and kaleidescope of dining options), not to mention the array of cultural events (we love the San Francisco Opera).  Yet,  its Nob Hill location is so tranquil.  Once you step inside its doors, you'll immediately feel like a bonafide San Franciscan living in the lap of luxury.  

Our family has yet to find another hotel in the city whose concierge level  can even begin to match that of The Ritz Carlton's.  The Ritz-Carlton Club® Level redefines the luxury hotel experience, combining intimacy, comfort and exclusivity with the personalized service and attention to detail that are the hallmarks of The Ritz-Carlton. This "oasis"  from the hustle and bustle of one of the world's most international city,  is often referred to as a hotel within a hotel, where seasoned concierge attends to guests' individual needs in a well-appointed, relaxed lounge environment. With continuous culinary offerings throughout the day (my children loved the giant jars of homemade cookies), --breakfast, light snacks, hors d' oeuvres, beverages and sweets) and access to a computer station - it is an the ideal place to plan out your activities, or unwind thereafter.  For me, I find it so ideal to conduct business--and that is exactly what I have planned.  

 Well, I better get packing.  I cannot wait to return to what I think is the most geographically beautiful city in America--San Francisco.  It is no wonder the city steals the hearts of so many!

 Here's to Blissful Escapes,

With love,
