The Ritz Carlton Georgetown is by far one of my favorite boutique hotels in the world. I'll get the one negative point out of the way first: horrible cell phone reception everywhere in the hotel (you'll notice desperate patrons standing by the glass windows in the lobby trying to get a signal as it's really the only place to get reception in the entire hotel). BUT WHO CARES? The hotel is STILL amazing: Perfectly set in Georgetown, downtown DC's most charming area, the Ritz Carlton provides everything you'd be looking for in a unique luxury boutique hotel. It is a renovated incinerator with an enormous fireplace in the lobby that burns 24 hours a day providing the most perfectly faint smell of mesquite/firewood you could hope for. Snuggle up to the fireplace with a good book -- one of their many service staff will bring you WHATEVER you need whether it's a fabulous cocktail or a healthy fruit plate or a club sandwich. Mo and Raul run the "Front of the House" and make you feel like you live there. Enjoy the Ritz's small, but perfectly adequate, fitness center for a quick workout and round out a relaxing day with a massage in their boutique spa. You can follow that up with an extremely satisfying shower -- bathrooms in all room types are absolutely top notch with high pressure showers, soft linens and designer bath products. I highly recommend bellying up to the bar at "Degrees" and having a cold beer and appetizers while watching whatever game is on that day… very friendly bartenders; great vibe and solid food (share the club sandwich with fries if you're a party of 2). When you're ready to retire for the day, you'll melt when your head hits your pillow -- absolutely a top-notch bed with luxury bedding. LOVE LOVE LOVE the Ritz Georgetown…going back any chance I get.
