Must read!!!

Ritz Carlton truly is the gold standard. This book along with Excellence Wins should be required reading for anyone going into hospitality!

If you are after excellence, look here for clues

There was a lot in this book. I found it to be packed with content and I personally struggled to stay with it. This is a true work on mastering the mundane aspects of what makes a business great. The nuggets found was worth the effort to keep with the book

Just Amazing

all the examples of how to go above and beyong and most of the times with simple non expensive gestures! Such a great book!

I want to stay at a Ritz-Carlton

An inpiring book if you want to take customer service to the next level. One thing to note: you will most likely be disapointed with your next hotel stay after you read this book, you will think to yourself of all the ways your stay could have been better, if only you had stayed at a Ritz-Carlton.

Amazing Book

I recommend it to every person in the hospitality business. It helped me to develop customer service.

great stories of the Ritz

This book included many great and inspiring stories of the employees of the Ritz. Would have rated the book higher, but it had many slow points throughout it.

Great read

This book gives great insight into the way the Ritz does business and provides great pointers on how to be a leader within your business.

Outstanding

Perfect for self-motivation and a recharge. The workplace requires a workable plan for improvement.

Amazing Service

Ritz-Carlton really has set the new gold standard. I'm very impressed with the book and not to mention the amazing level of detail focusing on serving customers. I wish all companies adopted this great customer service culture.

Quality to the next level

I purchased this book after hearing Horst Schultz speaking. Through a collection of stories, the book becomes a manual on Quality As It Should Be. Clearly, Ritz-Carlton as an organization has taken "Love thy neighbor" and "He who would be great must serve" to the next level. The principals here can be easily translated to any organization, from families to factory to government to church /synagogue /mosque.

Recommended for anyone who wants to find a better way.
