The Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park - CLOSED

I seem to have gotten the deal of the year. Stayed at the Ritz for a song......great deal, beautiful hotel and location. Nothing snobby about wanting a nice stay. We were here for a friends party weekend and the staff could not have been

My friends think Im snobbish because I like to stay at the Ritz when I travel for work. I dont care what they call me because when I get a view like this from my room, its worth the extra money that my per diem wont cover. The room

This review is to test how my review looks like

It cannot get any better than this. If you are looking for high quality and exceptional service, this is the place to stay. Our children could not stay away from the telescope in our room. Just imagine, being able to see the Statue of Liberty up close as your view. Since we stayed for Thanksgiving, we were able to enjoy the meal they were offering for the holiday . It was scrumptious. Their lounge, Rise, on the 14th floor serves great drinks with a breathtaking view.

Pros: Wonderful experience

Cons: Away from fine stores

Beautiful hotel...we stayed there after a party we had recently, as a special treat. Gorgeous and the service is impeccable

You simply cannot visit the city without seeing the amazing view from the Rise hotel! It is beyond spectacular!

Pros: AMAZING VIEW

Cons: Going home

The Ritz Carlton at Battery park City offers visitors to lower Manhattan the omipotence of luxury hotela. The splendor and extravagance displayed by the Hotel and its staff can be matched by no other hotel in the world

Pros: Food, Room, Staff

Cons: Parking

This Ritz Carlton, Battery Park is very amazing. The rise bar has a spectacular view the harbor and statue of libery, you even get to see Jersey City up close.

I've stayed at this hotel two or three times and I highly recommend it. The rooms are spacious. The bathrooms are excellent and have deep bathtubs. The bath products are top notch. The service is also wonderful. The last time I stayed, I had the flu, and having such excellent accommodations made me feel better. The staff kept bringing pots of hot water to my room at no charge, so I could make tea. The restaurant was nice, but not excellent. I found the steaks to be undercooked and the tuna too spicy. However, overall, this was one of the best hotel stays I've ever had.

Pros: Luxury, Service

I love this hotel if it was closer to the action but some people might like that. Very friendly staff upgraded me from my already nice room to an even nicer one. Very large with great views and beautiful decor and bathroom.

The health club was average, ok in a pinch since nothing is close. Room service is fine. The much-heralded Rise was a disappointment. Overrun by annoying yuppies who demand the best views with their nasally voices so they can nurse their one drink for hours.

Pros: Very nice rooms, Excellent staff, great views

Cons: out of the way locale, Rise ruined by yuppie

This is definitely one of the world's great hotels! First class service. The staff is courteous and takes care of your every need promptly and happily. An excellent hotel. Walking distance from Wall Street, Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty Pier. The rooms are wonderful, lovely and CLEAN! The telescope allowed us to view the Statue of Liberty up close, New York Harbor, New Jersey skyline and Battery Park. Unbelievable/Breathtaking View!(Superb direct view of Statue of Liberty). Leaving this hotel is heartbreaking! Thanks Ritz-Carlton Battery Park!

Pros: View, Clean, Romantic

Outstanding hotel...I live in Manhattan...and went to the Ritz for a "spa weekend". It was an incredible value given the staff, the location and the amenitites. I loved it and plan to visit on a regular basis. I felt as though I truly got away from the City...yet I was only 15 minutes from home. Thank you Ritz Battery Park!

I was seriously dissatisfied. FANTASTIC harbor views, but this property is too geographically inconvenient for the typical New York visitor. The Club Lounge was highly deficient. No afternoon Tea/snack presentation, and lunchtime presentation food is not set out - a staff member has to bring out food to you. I could not find a staff member to assist. There was only bottled water set out for beverage service. Overall I found the staff rather welcoming. I was shooed off the 14th floor terrace (the entry doors were NOT locked) . The worst was a surly security officer who came to my door at night, ORDERING me to turn down my radio (I was playing soft music to listen to in the bath) and treated like some unruly Spring Break teenager. Pardon me for thinking the room would be better insulated against noise! This was the poorest Ritz Carlton stay ever!

Truly a great place with outstanding service. I took my 63 year old mother to New York for the 1st time and everyone was very accommodating. Nester, the concierge, was wonderful. Even during the almost transit strike, the staff went out of their way to call me at home before our trip, to help with travel arrangements. They also mailed me my skirt that I left behind. The hotel rooms and beds are very comfortable too. A little out of the way from mid-town and Times Square, but great for business. Wonderful Hotel!

Pros: Service!, Rooms/Beds, Views of Lady Liberty

Cons: Location

Great, great place. A little out of the way but really worth every penny.

Pros: views, comfy beds, the robes

We've traveled all over the world and the service and ambiance in this hotel is truly worthy of its five-diamond rating. The concierge was particularly helpful with theater and transportation confirmations, all with a smile! Our room had a very spacious bathroom and bedroom w/DVD player and Frette sheets. The doormen were kind and recognized us each time we returned to the building. Overall, a perfect stay.

Pros: Stylish, Great Service, Comfortable

Cons: No Pool

This hotel certainly deserves all the accolades it receives and can wear the Ritz-Carlton banner with pride! The staff couldn't have been any more accomodating and the hotel was everthing you'd expect to get for the price. Actually for NYC, it's probably a bargain! The room was spacious and the view of the harbor and Statue of Liberty simply spectacular. The king-size featherbed, luxurious robes and marbled baths made us feel like a million! Thanks so much for making a "special" night something I'll always remember and cherish!

Pros: Staff is so attentive, ambiance to die for, great location, view

Cons: Not cheap (worth it!), Parking is high

From the minute we walked in the door to the time we left we were treated like royalty. Service was excellent. The room was large and beautiful, the view excuisite. The telescope allowed us to view the Statue of Liberty up close and the New Jersey skyline. The hotel booked us reservations at restaurants and remembered us each time they saw us. I could go on and on, I have not one complaint!

Pros: beautiful view, great location, wonderful staff

Best service, atmosphere, food, sleep ever. Featherbeds on every bed, telescopes in the rooms to view the harbour, clean and new. Absolutely the best I've ever been to.

Pros: Valet, Clean design, great food

I enjoyed my stay here at the battery the enviornment seems like no other in the city. The staff is very friendly. Everyone seems to enjoy working there. The rooms are very spacious. I had a very memorable stay!

The hotel sells it self. Even if you don't stay in the hotel the bar is gorgeous over looking the harbor very romantic

cool enviornment, wonderful staff. Cant wait to return during the holidays. by far the best stay i have had

This place was by far the coolest i've been too. nice amenities in the rooms. and housekeeping was very friendly. Great view from our window all of the harbor.

me and my friend did a night out on the town. had the best times staying at the ritz. went to a couple of shows and waked in battery park. ate at dinner at the hotel and had some cocktail in the Rise bar that had a awesome view of lady liberty and of jersey city. Can't wait to go back

Great view. Great atomorsphere. And best off all family friendly. I enjoyed every minute of it and so did my family.

staff is awesom, and the View of the NY harbor is to die for. it's so much better when it's Ritz. the location is so much better than the crowded smelly NY midtown streets. this is your NY at it's the best. this is the real luxurious Hotel in the city and not one of these fake hotels with a view to street dumpsters!! I'm very impressed. if you don't believe it try it yourself and you will be the judge for that.

This is not your father's Ritz-Carlton! The new Ritz-Carlton New York is stylish and more contemporary than any other Ritz-Carlton, all while maintaining its old-world charm!

Beautiful views, fabulous staff, great bar, fantastic location, very accesible

What a wonderful hotel! Finally a five diamond rated hotel in downtown New York. The service is unsurpassed by any New York Hotel. It's like a waterfront resort with the view of the New York Harbor.

Pros: Water view, Five Diamond Service

We are so glad The Ritz-Carlton is back in New York! What a fantastic way to return to a city. We are very impressed and look forward to returning soon.

Pros: Outstanding Service, Attentive Staff, Value for money

My new husband and I spent the first night of our honeymoon at the hotel and were wowed by the views and plush accommodations. I recommend the champagne and strawberries for couples--VERY romantic!

This property is a great addition to the Ritz carlton Family and to the city of New York. I can't wait to go back again.

Pros: service, staff professionalism, location

Cons: price, availability
