Puttin' On The Ritz


We are so bummed that when we get to Guangzhou the famous White Swan Hotel will be closed for renovations. At this point we HOPE it will be closed, since I think it reopens in late 2008 and we want to be there by Summer 2008 or... ?
But this month the Ritz Carlton is opening up its new hotel in Guangzhou!!
We won't have a "Red Couch" photo. But maybe a taupe/yellow striped couch photo?
Doesn't have the same ring, somehow. Still, it looks like a beautiful hotel.

We were all jazzed for the White Swan as well. Is the Ritz our new home?

Though I agree, just get us over there and back! Please.....

Hey you, this is what our agency said: "The White Swan Hotel has informed our Guangzhou office staff and their retail partners that they will not be closing for renovation until at least next spring. Rumors that the hotel would close have been circulating for months and up until last week the plan was to close for six months beginning December. This new information, however, confirms that there will be no closure for at least several months. If the hotel does close we will notify all families who will be affected and make the best alternate arrangements possible for your stay in Guangzhou -"

Anyway, maybe we will be there before spring - wouldn't that be shocking - but, doubt it... anyway, we will be staying at the new Ritz in Georgetown for Christmas - will let you know how it is - but, hey, I'll stay anywhere as long as there are NO bed mites.... take care, and here's to "putting on the Ritz.."
