My daughter and I recently took a shopping trip to New York City with her pal and another mother at my daughter’s suggestion. We were staying at The Ritz-Carlton Central Park and it was our first time on 5th Avenue for Christmas, so we took plenty of photos. As I was about to take yet another photo, this time standing in front of the gorgeous Christmas tree in the Star Lounge at The Ritz-Carlton, I had an amazing realization. I was not having to remind her to smile as I usually do when I am about to take a photo. She was already smiling! Whether it was because her braces were now off, the S’mores and Cocoa in the Star Lounge tasted yummy or due to the amazing experience we were having that weekend, it did not matter. For a child or teenager to deliver a never ending smile is a gift not to be taken for granted.
They say a smile can light up a room. Well, a child’s smile can light up a mom’s heart! It will undoubtedly be my best gift from her for a very long time!
Take a look at the Spa Week article on special gifts children give their moms! When ask the question by Michelle (my Muse) of Spa Week, I became so aware of my special gift. Thank you Spa Week! she shares not only my wonderful gift but others as well.
Here’s a sneak peak at the Star Lounge in The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park one of the best place to stay when visiting New York!
More to come about a hotel ranked in the Top Ten in the US! The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park Ranked #1 Best Hotel in New York City.
I can’t wait to tell you all about it, what would you like to know?
Glad you had a wonderful mother daughter trip. I bet the Ritz was fabulous! What was the best part about the hotel?
The hotel felt like our home from the minute we arrived. It was such a wonderful place to come back to to refresh and unwind after navigating the busy area.
When we returned from shopping on 5th Avenue, I only had to hand the packages to the concierge either downstairs on on the club floor and they were shipped and boxed to arrive in time for Christmas. Of course, it was all magic! They always know your name from the minute you arrive!
The 2nd floor was heaven on earth! The Club Lounge is located right beside the La Prairie Spa. They have some high results treatments on the spa menu.
The Ritz-Carlton New York Central Park was named the #1 Hotel in New York City and was also ranked in the Top 10 in the US. Every comfort you can imagine is available there. One holiday items not to miss is their S’mores and Hot Cocoa in the Star Lounge by their lovely Christmas Tree!
“For a child or teenager to deliver a never ending smile is a gift not to be taken for granted.” Love that statement…how true! This will be a memory that’ll stay in your heart forever!
So glad you understand – kids can be such blessings for us moms!
Also our trip was amazing and I may just have to do it all again in the Spring or possibly a Mother’s Day Mother Daughter Trip (Warm Do-Over).
We just must get back to experience Central Park and The Ritz-Carlton, Central Park is the best place to do just that!
