The service had to be of the finest quality and the number of employees was to exceed the number of guests.

If possible a bath and telephone were to be included in every room. He also insisted that he be the mentor and guide to the owners of the hotel.

The Ritz Carlton through the years has witnessed good times and sometime very bad times, when it nearly went bankrupt. However, today it still reflects the charm and luxury of by gone days when it was a dream of every one to stay in one of these luxurious hotels.

If any of you readers in the cyber world want to read more about the history of the Ritz Carlton you may try to secure a copy of a book entitled "No Ordinary Hotel" written by Adrian Waller and published by Véhicule press, Montréal. I was able to find a copy at the Concordia University Library in Montreal.

For those of us who are book lovers you may be interested to know that each Fall the hotel hosts the Books & Breakfast reading series.

These events are held on a Sunday morning where you are served a breakfast and you are able to listen to some of the well known authors promoting their recent publications.

Some of the past authors have included Margaret Atwood, Mavis Gallant and Pierre Burton.

To find out more call the hotel and have them send you a brochure. Remember to reserve well in advance as there is quite a turn out.

I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have stayed at the Ritz Carlton and their experiences.
