I could not agree more. I remember an absolutely dreadful stay at the R-C in NOLA many, many years ago, which nearly put me off the brand permanently.
I’ve been pleased with my recent stays at Hotel Arts in Barcelona and at the R-C in Toronto, but even so there is no way that service there compares with service at an Aman.
