Ritz Carlton Atlanta or Buckhead: No Bvlgari toiletries ?
Hi, I am just curious if this two properties no longer use Bvlgari toiletries ?
I am planning to go to Atlanta soon, also for the Marriott Megamiles promotion, I wouldn't mind to pay more for RC just to stock up some Bvlgari toiletries (yes I am a toiletries hoarder). But it seems like from reports and photos on tripadvisor, both propertries are using RC brand toiltries instead of Bvlgari.
Anyone have any recent experience regarding to these two properties ? If it is not Bvlgari I would certainly skip it.

So, you can certainly get them, but you'll have to ask and you may not get several extra sets for home use.

Seems like I can't do it if I stay there.

I hate they they have taken away Bulgari products.
I have asked, and have received a small amount, making me feel like a thief or something.
It's my biggest complaint about the Ritz. They should just put them back already. I'd happily pay a $10 a day Bulgari fee if that's what it takes.

Both RC locations in Atlanta are sub par. I recommend the Mansion on Peachtree or St. Regis. Neither solves your desire for Bvlgari toiletries, but they are excellent hotels with top notch service to boot.

I am paying an astonishingly low rate for the downtown RC in March. It is so cheap I hope I get soap, but I was there 2 years ago, after a renovation, and the room was fine. Is there a better choice a safe walking distance from Phillips Arena?

If I had to make another recommendation based on your criteria it would the Ellis Hotel.

Are the toiletries photographed here the Bvlgari or Neutrogena toiletries? Or impossible to tell from the bottle?

These look like the same ones that were provided at the Ritzes in Philadelphia and Berlin, but no brand was identified on the bottle.

Heck - you could stay in a Holiday Inn Express and buy this:

Note that Bvlgari green tea is the stuff I use in the summer - and I've been buying from Shopfriend for years. Robyn

Just stayed at the Phoenix property club level and Bulgari was in the room, and was replenished without asking.
2 weeks ago was at Orlando in a regular room, and no Bulgari, however I asked, and when I came back from dinner a small shopping bag was on my door filled with Bulgari.

I am currently at the Ritz-Carlton Atlanta (Downtown). I was originally assigned a standard room and the no-brand Ritz-Carlton amenities were in the room. However, due to major noise concerns, to keep me from early departure, they moved me to a suite which has the Bvlgari toiletries. So the Downtown location has the Bvlgari line, for the suites at least...
