Stayed here with the help of your review! Had an incredible stay! New and feels fresh! Staff was amazing! So happy you can use steam and sauna included in stay. I think this is the future when they build new hotels. Beautiful bathrooms. Wife cooked her toe on the really invisible step up to get into shower tho which is a bit of a design flaw. Also we were not a high floor but had no noise issue, likely due to it being new standards of construction! We loved the mid town location to go up or down manhatten. cant wait to go back. The four seasons central park went through a major renovation but they didn't do anything to the bathrooms... there you really pay for location. Marriot boought conrad and remodeled calling it The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown. would be curious your review there. Seems like a lot of bang for your buck

Sorry - This is not a luxury property and that room looks fine but lacks any sort of wow factor

I can’t decide between the W, the St Regis and the Edition for a stay in a week where I’ll be solo. What would you go with?

Thanks for this! No idea why your channel doesn’t have more subscribers. You and flip flop traveler are two of my favorites

Another great and groovy review and content!! Keep smashing it up Josh! -Liam 🇦🇺 🤙🏿

you are the king of Marriott properties , always very helpful videos

Nice video. Would love to see the ST Regis NYC now that it’s renovated !

Something is wrong with your channel, Over 170 quality videos and just under 5K subscribers. Need someone to fix this.

Josh, Thank you for another excellent review. It looks like,e a very nice property. I think the other luxury brands, like Four Seasons, are more consistent about the quality of the guest experience at their properties.

Another great honest review 👍👍👍 Hopefully Ritz and Marriott in general see your reviews and do better on their hotels, a lot of Marriotts especially their “luxury” brands are not exactly up to par, they have so much more potential to dominate other brands like Four Seasons if they just listen to their customers and people like you…

Great review Josh! Btw it’s pronounced eSpecially, NOT eXpecially 🤭. Keep these videos coming please, you’re awesome!

Great, honest review! As always, love the content you produce.

Thank you Josh for the amazing tour. Really enjoyed, you gave a great tour. The resort is freshing. Thank you for the review.

Luxurious and beautiful accommodation. Nice to meet you

It's Amazing!!!! I have ever seen

Cleveland blows

How could you get a Key card? Is that offer for the souvenir?

This is an A+ review. I have many of the same concerns about this property. I think the St. Regis is a tremendous value in comparison.

Completely unnecessary opulence while Perth is experiencing a homelessness crisis, Australia truly is becoming a mini USA.

I’m upset that you used an obviously Chinese theme music for Kyoto …😢

Apik banget

Thoughts on this hotel vs ritz south beach if they're the same price?

Great review man. Thanks.

I hope you can try checking in at soori Bali

Amazing review & detail Josh, appreciate it! You got a new subscriber

Had a similarly/more underwhelming experience at the St. Regis next door. Room was not clean (found a used razor in the bathroom trash when we checked in). Service was not up to par either. Spent almost 200,000 points for a one night stay. The Ritz in South Beach was absolutely top notch though!

Exploring new cultures is so inspiring; it brings a fresh perspective to life.

Would love to see your review of the ritz Carlton New Orleans. It’s distinctly Nola and traditionally ritz Carlton.

There seems to be great variability among the RC hotels. Some are just so over the top luxurious while others are pedestrian. In general, I hear from Ambassador Elites that Florida hotels are not top notch when it comes to service.

Thick robes in miami is rare, its too hot. People want something to throw on while out on the balcony.

@1:31 is that drywall bubbling?

best be stopping by ritz key biscayne, coconut grove, south beach. hell take the whole florida loop lol 13 ritz in florida alone

Good review: the Ritz service as one knows it happens very rarely in many Ritz', it is all about the brand, premium price, and Hotel program to have the property sold out. A sophisticated traveller would not choose Ritz anymore for quite some time. Too bad!

Order an affogato next time you’re at an Italian restaurant. Great reviews as always.

The ritz Carlton in Nashville, TN is opening in 2025! It is an exciting hotel, so if you want, try it out.

Ooh, obviously they did not open the car door upon your arrival LOL. When will these hotels learn ! It is very sad how the quality and consistency of W hotels are so erratic , I agree for the price you pay you should get more a lot more

您的视频太美了

Thank you for the Bali reviews, super interesting to hear, as we are Bali fans, considering a few of the hotels, you showed us which gave us a fair overview., but so far we are mainly staying, in rented huge luxury villas, directly on the coast, with car, driver, butler, security, maid and chef, not that expensive, but more private, food what we want, when and where we want. Definitely worth considering if visiting Bali again, if you like luxury and value privacy and staff at hand 24/7, for your needs only. Is there a reason, why you normally only do Marriott hotels? Is it club points only related or why? I was just thinking, there are true luxury hotels and hotel chains, that leaves Marriott behind in the dust. We stayed in, a $7.300 A NIGHT, Grace Kelly signature suite, at Hotel danieli Venice (at that time, still a Marriott hotel), during the off season, for a December Christmas shopping trip. It was… let’s say it like this, the most expensive suite, we so far have stayed in, and by far (except the view), the most disappointing, worn, tiered looking suite, without flowers, a bathroom so small, that most standard bathrooms, in a 3 star hotel would be bigger, no personal butler service, nothing but the room, a cheap bottle of red wine and a few Italian cookies. Now that is for me, a lot of money, with no luxury factor what so ever. I really want to try the AMAN group, they seem to have some nice properties, around the world, with a modern, minimalistic sense of luxury understanding. But our trip next week, is going to Soneva Kiri, Thailand. Soneva is all about, “no news no shoes”, simple, Robinson Crusoe styled, low key, quiet, nature based luxury. The Soneva group, is not only known to be super exclusive, with only 4 resorts world wide, but even before our arrival, we are blown away. - None hotel guests must apply in advance, if they wish to book a table at one of the restaurants, as a background check, will have to be carried out, due to the guests, at times includes high profiled celebrities and Royalty. - After airport check in, at the hotels private checkin counter, and being fast tracked through security, your personal member of staff, guides you to the business class lounge, where you can await, a car service driving you directly out to, the hotels own private 8 seater jet. Just 50 min after leaving Bangkok, you land at the regions ONLY airport, owned and build by Soneva Kiri, ONLY for Soneva guests to use, on a neighbour island, especially bought, so you don’t disturb the resorts guests, up on take off or landing. None Soneva guests, travel by car and boat, for most of a day, to get to Koh kood island! Once landed, you will be met, by your personal butler, and guided to a motorboat, taking you across the bay, in a 10 min boat ride. - Once arrived at the resort, you are met by the hotel Manager and his crew in person, welcomed to the island. - No other hotel I ever heard off, sends a 7 page questionnaire out, to get to know your personal preferences, 2 months before arrival, on Everything, from pillow menu, allergies, food dislikes, pref for sweet or salty snacks. Interest in culture, food, sailing, diving… asking you what flipper/shoe size you use, in preparation for the snorkelling accessories, that will await you in your villa, anything special you want to be in your mini bar? Do you need yoga or prayer mat, toothbrush, toothpaste, pumice Stone… They even ask, if you have a special wine, you want them to import, in time for your arrival!!! - what fragrance do you want, the hotels ON SITE eco friendly, produced bathroom products to have? - which fragrance, would you like your pillows to have? And they offer amongst other things, the worlds ONLY tree-pod dining option, an on site Astronomy Tower, with a specialist ready to explain the sky and the stars to you, an onsite chocolate room with around 25-30 different types, of ON SITE made chocolates and an ice cream room offering 30 options or more in on site made ice creams and sorbets (both included in the price, eat as much as you like). - a private beach, that you go to by speedboat, where one of Thailand’s best beaches awaits you, with a full silent relaxing beach club is placed for your comfort. - a resort with max capacity of around 150 guests, on more then what I believe, is 41 hectare of land, offering 5 or more dining venues, flys out international chefs, from around the world to cook for the guests, the smallest villas/private ground is minimum 403 m2 or 4.300 square feet, some even with private beach access and area, each villa has their own golf buggy to get around, there is even an outdoor cinema in the hotel, a breakfast buffet plus a 13 page breakfast ala carte menu. I could go on… Price, starts at the same price range as Bvlgari, but taking luxury to a whole new level! Now that’s what I understand, as luxury and that’s even before we have arrived. Can’t wait to see ,what it’s all about in person.

The first drone shot looks like a place in my dreams

Wonderful view! Love the content!

Great tour Josh. Even though expensive it seems like they do provide a fair amount of complementary offerings. We just stayed at the Ritz in Naples that you reviewed (although not the massive two bedroom suite you were in). It was very nice and all the staff greeted us everywhere we went. It seems that attention is part of the Ritz brand/experience.

Surga dunia👍🙏

i'd rather sleep in a tent.

What does Josh do to afford all of this?

I worked in that Hotel many years ago when it was a lesser brand. Nothing was ever upgraded or fixed. All I could think was, you can't put lipstick on a pig.

Thank you for the good content. I thought about whether it was Marriott or W when I went to Taipei later, but it helped me a lot. W hotel is good because it gives a lot of fencies and suites, but I think I'm worried because there's no lounge. Haha

Thanks to you, I enjoyed the good hotel! You won't come because there are not many good hotels in Korea, but thanks to you, it helped a lot. U booked a regular room, but did you upgrade to a Harbor View suite?

Josh.thanks for sharing your honest reviews. Have you visited Sarasota yet? They have a Ritz Carlton and a brand new St Regis.

How do you not hear all the noise outside ?

Right on - this property sucks - was here a few weeks ago. We had PAPER cups at a 5 star?!
