Nice hotel. The only comparison I can make is the Peninsula in Bangkok which I'd rate at 5 stars. The reason I go with 4 stars is the nickel and diming ($9 water in the room). I'd rather pay a higher rate and not be nickel and dimed at a luxury property.

Room was very clean and nice. Iron had calcium deposits that got all over my slacks. That seems kinda low budget as my iron shouldn't make a mess of my clothes.

The hotel staff was attentive and pleasant and the decor/ambience was nice, but kind of non-descript for a luxury hotel as it is a big building without windows in a boring part of town geared towards shopping.

If you have a need to stay in the area and want easy access to Tyson's shopping and direct access to the Galleria, then I can't imagine you can do better, but when compared to the other 5-star hotel I've stayed in this year, this Ritz was a step below that one.
