This hotel is simply excellent. From the food to the environment to the room everything was better than expected. Went for a romantic night away with my wife and am already mentally planning the next time.

A wonderful place to get away
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/02/09
My husband and I stayed at this hotel last weekend for a night away and we had a wonderful time. The location it is great - it is in a residential neighborhood so it is nice and peaceful, but it is only about 5 minutes away from lots of great restaurants and shopping. The staff were very friendly and accomodating and our room was lovely. It ...
I was married at the Ritz so I remember all the little details and I know that they are missing. The first thing I noticed were the flowers, certainly not the same florist. The arrangements were very dissappointing compared to the Ritz's fabulous displays. From the staff (although nice), to the banquet rooms the hotel is simply not as elegant ...
Having stayed previously at 2 Ritz Carltons (Naples, FL and West Palm Beach, FL) we were looking forward to attending a conference at the Ritz Carlton in Pasadena. However, after we made our reservations, we found out the hotel had been purchased by the Langham group. Friends who have stayed at Langhams in Europe assured us we would be pleased, ...

As of 1/1/2008 No Longer The Ritz-Carlton
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/27/08
Things have changed at this hotel. Not bad, but it is no longer a memeber of the Ritz-Carlton family and therefore many amenities and extra touches are gone.
First of all, I have been dining, staying, or simply walking through the gardens of the Huntington Hotel for the last 30 years or so. Wasn't the hotel built 150 years ago or so?
Secondly, I love the history of this hotel. The Hungtington family was, of course, an integral part of California's railroad history.
Thirdly, the service ...

NOT THE SAME
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/09/08
Since the hotel changed hands and is no longer a Ritz Carlton, there is an unfortunate difference. On our last visit, the toilet leaked, the feather beds are gone, the beautiful floral arrangements are gone,the restaurant and service in the restaurant was poor (sticky menus, not enough silverware, untrained staff, etc.). I'm afraid this beautiful hotel has lost it's luster and is no longer worth the prices.

Poor Restaurant Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/30/07
We've visited the outdoor dining at the Ritz a few times, but the last time, we had terrible service and found their price for a drink at $15 each to be outlandish. The waiter didnt seem to care that we felt the service was poor, the management fussed a bit, but overall, having traveled a lot, visited many first class resorts, I don't ...
