BRIEF OVERVIEW: The Ritz-Carlton Company
The Ritz-Carlton Company was established by Albert Keller who purchased and franchised the name. There were known brands of the same name in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlantic City and Boca Raton. However, by 1940 none of the hotels were operating except The Ritz-Carlton, Boston. The Ritz-Carlton hotel embodies the finest luxury experience with Yankee ingenuity and Boston social sensibilities.
In 1983, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC was formed. Currently, they are operating 87 hotels in 29 countries and territories. They have approximately 35,000 employees worldwide. Their original logo used to be a lion and crown which is a combination of the British royal seal (the crown) and the logo of a financial backer (the lion) which was changed to what it is now because it was not “not sufficiently noble”.
Throughout the operations, The Ritz-Carlton continuously provided excellent quality service to their customers through training in their Leadership Center. Having established a resource center for leading organizations interested in benchmarking led The Ritz-Carlton to become a two-time recipient of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 1992 and 1999.
They are now the leading brand in luxury lodging.

    6 months ago, I was invited to have business dinner in Ritz-Carlton, and was amazed by their ability in consistently delivering ideal service. Starting from then, I had one question in my mind, which is how Ritz-Carlton, who has 81 hotels in 25 countries and 44,000 employees around the world, can deliver consistent services to their demanding customers from place to place. According to Forbes Magazine, Ritz-Carlton has become a leading brand in luxury lodging by rigorously adhering to its own standards. It is the only service company in America that has won the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award twice, and Training Magazine has called it the best company in US for employee training.…

    Ritz- Carlton

    Ranked as the best luxury hotel chain in America out of thousands others, for the past years it still provides the same exceptional standard of quality, comfort and fittings (Power, 2012). The essence of the Ritz Carlton experience lies in the quality of the service provided by the company which is also the intangible product the company is selling. The manager makes sure that the service is tailored to the individual and is earnest and helpful. Every guest and employee is treated with respect and the general managers pay special attention to every visitor from the moment of airport picking until the moment the visitor leaves the hotel. An essential part of the service process is the guest recognition procedure, part of the service quality indicators (SQIs) which when implemented “creates a sticky relationship” between the guest and employee, in particular or the hotel, in general. The staff’s responsibility is to make each “guest feels well when they leave” and create an unforgettable, personalised experience which satisfies even the most discerning visitors. Moreover, the company also recognize the technology as a key to a high service level. It is something that the customer expects to receive when stays at a five- star hotel.…
