The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas

Wasn’t the best of the best, as hyped

I had mixed feelings about my stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Las Colinas. There is a lot to love about this hotel. The property is beautiful, the rooms are elegant and comfortable, and the bed and pillows were exceptional. I slept very well, and the overall ambiance is exactly what you would expect from a luxury hotel. However, my experience was overshadowed by one major issue. The view from my balcony overlooked construction dumpsters and debris instead of the beautiful surroundings. For a room costing around $1,000 per night, this was extremely disappointing and far below the experience I expected from a Ritz-Carlton. What made the situation even more frustrating was the hotel’s response. On the day I checked in, I immediately expressed my concern and was told they would try to move me to another room with a better view. Later in my stay, I brought it up again and received the same promise. Unfortunately, nothing was ever done. No one followed up, no alternative room was offered, and I was left feeling that my concern simply wasn’t a priority. Luxury hotels are about more than beautiful buildings—they are about exceptional guest service. While the property itself is excellent, the lack of follow-through and attention to a legitimate concern was disappointing. When guests are paying premium rates, they should expect both a premium room and service that matches the reputation of the Ritz Carlton

Great hotel!

I am truly moved by the exceptional kindness of the front desk staff during my recent stay. Their thoughtfulness brought tears to my eyes! Upon returning from dinner, I discovered a delightful stuffed horse in my room, accompanied by a lovely card that made the gesture even more special. When I checked in, I shared that my visit to Texas was to explore the possibility of purchasing a horse. The staff's attention to detail and personal touch truly exemplify the Ritz-Carlton's commitment to guest experience, and I am now a devoted customer for life. Additionally, the dinner I enjoyed was absolutely outstanding—truly one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. Thank you for making my stay so memorable!
