This National Day holiday, we returned to Beijing, hoping once again to take our time strolling through the city's charming hutongs. After spending the first three days near Wangfujing and exploring most of the nearby alleys, we decided to stay at our all-time favorite hotel brand, The Ritz-Carlton. This time, we chose The Ritz-Carlton Beijing (China Central Place), and it certainly did not disappoint—it truly felt like coming home. This marks the ninth Ritz-Carlton property we've stayed at.
We arrived around 1:00 PM and were warmly greeted at the front desk by Mr. Zheng. Since our room was still being prepared, he immediately invited us to relax and dine in the Executive Lounge. The lounge truly made us feel the warmth of home. The moment we stepped in, Ivy (Ms. Gong) welcomed us with great enthusiasm. Learning that we hadn't had lunch yet, she promptly arranged a meal for us. Upon discovering that someone in our party was celebrating a birthday that day, she had a birthday gift delivered to our room that afternoon, and the chef thoughtfully prepared birthday longevity noodles for dinner, which deeply touched the birthday guest.
The next day, Chef Paul Yi noticed that one of us was suffering from dry, chapped lips due to the arid northern climate. He went out of his way to prepare a soothing balm and personally crafted herbal medicinal soups for two consecutive days to help her recover. We were incredibly moved—this is a level of care we have never experienced at any other hotel. Throughout our 3-day, 2-night stay, not only did Ivy and Chef Paul check in on us daily, but we were also warmly hosted by Coco and Amelia. As a supervisor, Coco is meticulous, detail-oriented, and highly responsible, and the rest of the lounge team provided genuine, hospitable service as well.
We all agreed that we should have booked our stay at The Ritz-Carlton Beijing sooner! A heartfelt thank you to Coco and her entire team for their warm and sincere hospitality. We look forward to seeing you all again soon.
