2) Or, a regular room (360 sq ft) at Ritz Carlton; walking distance to malls;
3) Or, a "Superior Room" (440 sq ft) at St Regis, which is beyond walking distance to the malls.
Considering I have a one-year old who need to sleep in a crib in the room and be moved in a stroller on the street, which hotel should I book the nights for?
I am having difficulty picking between Spacious room vs proximity to malls vs high quality at Ritz/St Regis.
Any advice?
If you have a car, I would stay at the St Regis. There is simply no comparison in the properties. The westin is very worn in my estimation. The Ritz is much better than the Westin but I think it's a little worn as well. The St Regis is a great property in immaculate condition. It also has a fantastic pool.
And if you're going soon, the heat and humidity will be less than ideal. Especially with bags and a 1 year old in tow. I know it's a very short walk from the westin to Lenox but at 95 F w high humidity, you'll definitely be sweating.
If you do st Regis, try j Christopher's in the plaza for breakfast - very good and reasonably priced. There is also a bakery behind whole foods that is good.
Given pricing so similiar, for me it's the St Regis in a landslide!!!
