The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong
The staff up in the Executive Lounge were wonderful and very helpful, especially Ms. Fontane, who seemed to be there 24/7. She anticipated our every need. Plus I have to admit, their in-room shower water pressure was the best I have ever had…and we have traveled and lived around the world.
