The Ritz and I have a long history. I used to stay in them when I would go to One Direction concerts. One time I even stayed on 5 Seconds of Summer’s floor and met them along with a few members of 1D. Now that those days are over, I come to relax and enjoy a pleasant spa weekend with my mom (Spa Travel Gal). This particular weekend, we went wedding dress shopping. The Ritz spoiled us all weekend and we even found the dress of my dreams!
Suite
The Ritz-Carlton Suite is newly renovated and is a home away from home, literally. It is over 2,400 square feet of pure luxury and views of the city mixed with mountains on 3 sides of the building. Of course I just had to have a photo shoot in the windows. There is also a full kitchen with marble counters, a dining area, a personal study, a stunning bathroom with a marble bathtub and rainforest shower head, and many other features to include everything you may need during your stay. They plan on renovating all of their rooms by 2025 to match this color scheme and design, so be on the lookout for renovated rooms starting this Summer!
Spa
My favorite spa has always been the Ritz, but this one is by far my favorite. I have had quite a few services here and it is always relaxing and re-nourishes my skin. My favorite service is the Organic Facial which includes products from the Eminence line. It also includes a skin analysis which determines the path of your facial. My facial included dermablading, extractions, and deep hydration masks which resulted in my skin feeling smooth as a baby. As I am preparing for a wedding this Summer, this is exactly what I needed and I have already planned my next trip to replenish my skin!
Accommodations
A must at the Ritz is staying on the concierge lounge floor. I have memories of being in these since I was 8 and my mom has many stories! They have food options all day long varying from breakfast to dessert. The assistants are extremely delightful and accommodating. From topping off your champagne to bringing you cookies, they are able to assist with it all.
Elway’s is a steakhouse that has a location in the lobby of the Ritz and is a dining experience you must have while staying there. Their drink selection is marvelous with a personal sommelier to elevate your experience and pair a perfect wine to your entree. Ask for Lee when you stop by!
The Bed and Breakfast package is an optional add on and includes breakfast each morning at Elway’s or room service dine in. We opted to have our Elway’s breakfast delivered each morning so we didn’t have to leave our marvelous room. My blueberry pancakes and bacon were divine and I highly recommend!
The Ritz-Carlton Denver is different than any other hotel stay because it is in a perfect spot downtown, has spacious and gorgeous rooms, and has elevated dining options. They always know how to personalize your stay. This time, they left bridal cookies in the room to celebrate us dress shopping! You never know what surprises are in store when you stay here and I always look forward to my next visit.
