I'd avoid the place if I could...
Badass,
The way that hotel is built, the damned elevators are apparently right across from the front desk. I remember that from a cursory check of the place several years ago. It was also widely reported online that late night guests do get hastled. It's a VIP hotel and that is to be expected. Literally everybody going up and down gets scrutinized. If you have a choice find somewhere else, especially if you are planning any late night activity. In that general area, I'd say the Omni, Le Germain, Sheraton, Chateau Champlain are a few of the better choices for the escort friendly aspect. On the aesthetic side, if you do stay at the Ritz Carlton, try the weekend brunch in the Garden. It's quite good. Ate there last weekend with one of FKS's finest..
