Four seasons or Ritz Carlton?

I am still unsure which hotel to stay at. I am sure both the ritz carlton and four seasons in georgetown have the same beautiful location and are nice hotels but I am still unsure whether which has better rooms when talking about their regular rooms.

Four seasons or Ritz Carlton?

My comment, in response to your initial query, about the Four Seasons%26#39; decor being ';warmer'; and more distinctive/la little less ';corporate'; applies to the non-suite accommodations too ;-)

The least expensive rooms at the Ritz are, however, larger than the ~385 sq. ft. ones at the FS. In part, because the Ritz bathrooms are larger because of having a separate shower in addition to the tub -- a feature you don%26#39;t get until you step up to the ';premier deluxe'; rooms at the Four Seasons which are almost 500 sq. ft.; the weekend rates on the premier deluxe rooms are often only about $20 more than the deluxe ones.

There is no difference in size between the 2 classes of non-suite rooms at the Ritz; they%26#39;re both 450 sq. ft. It is weird, isn%26#39;t it, that the Ritz provides no photos of its non-suite accommodations? Perhaps the respective photos of the public areas at these hotels might tip the balance for you?

Four seasons or Ritz Carlton?

I have never stayed at the FS in DC or the Ritz%26#39;s Georgetown location. I have stayed at both of their properties elsewhere, however. If I am looking into 5* accomomodations between the Ritz and the FS, the way I tend to book is usually the better deal, in all honesty. Both the Ritz and FS offer Bed and Breakfast packages that include valet parking at various points in the year. I like to get all of that rolled into one price because it doesn%26#39;t seem to be as much as when these services are a la carte. Also, the Ritz offers club level rooms, which can be a great deal (5 food and beverage presentations daily - breakfast, light lunch, tea, hors d%26#39;oevres and desserts) - also they give you alcoholic beverages with the room price. Being that you can typically spend around $13 on a drink at the Ritz, it is well worth it. It doesn%26#39;t take long to ring up a $100 bar bill there!

Just a FYI - I am sure both hotels have especially nice rooms, so that is why it is things like that that tip the balance for me. Good luck!

Suzanne%26#39;s tip about the food/beverage amenities on Ritz Club floors is great! The Georgetown Ritz, unfortunately, has no Club rooms -- perhaps because it%26#39;s so small (only 86) rooms.

The breakfast packages at both places in Georgetown typically add about $50/night to the weekend room rate. This can be somewhat of a savings if you %26amp; your travel partner are big breakfast eaters since the breakfast prices are (like most Manhattan hotels] wildly inflated. But if you are content to start the day with a coffee, juice and a muffin or are traveling solo, there are much less expensive options such as Starbucks outside the door :-)

One last comment...if you will be traveling alone and are the type to consider having a nightcap before you retire, I think the FS lounge will probably feel more welcoming. But it can be noiser (altho%26#39; by no means a frat house atmosphere) than either the lobby lounge at the Ritz or its Degrees bar.
