Not only is San Francisco home to some of the wealthiest residents, it is also a city that attracts the wealthiest visitors in the world. That being said, it should be no surprise to you that San Francisco would also be home to some of the most luxurious, expensive, modern, and posh hotels. If you have money to spend, your hotel choices are really quite vast-- from the Fairmont to the Intercontinental, the Palace Hotel to the Four Seasons. The subject of this blog, however, will be the renowned Ritz Carlton.

The Ritz-Carlton is situated in the wealthiest area of San Francisco, Nob Hill. Staying in Nob Hill allows visitors the convenience of exploring the other famous districts of San Francisco which are mostly situated near Nob Hill, including Union Square, Alamo Square, the financial district, the Embarcadero, and more. San Francisco's public transportation system makes travel easier than ever for tourists who want to take a break from hailing cabs. But choosing to take the iconic trolley car in San Francisco means that you won't be getting door-to-door service, so make sure to pack yourself a comfortable pair of walking shoes.

When your tired feet refuse to take you any further, you can retire back in the Ritz-Carlton for the night. The Ritz offers a variety of priced rooms, from the most luxurious presidential suites to more basic rooms. If you're planning on spending a good part of your evening indoors, suites are the best options. The Ritz-Carlton suite features panoramic views of the San Francisco bay and Alcatraz, sites that you should definitely not miss on your vacation. It also contains a large dining room large enough to seat eight guests, a living room with a Grand piano, french doors, surround-sound speaker system, two 32-inch LCD flat screen TVs, a large foyer, and more. If you're planning on entertaining guests while on vacation, the Ritz-Carlton suite is definitely a excellent choice.

Marrakesh's reputation as one of the most romantic cities in the world will become clear to you the second you step foot in the city. Located near the foothills of the Atlas mountains, Marrakesh, or "The Red City" was once an important imperial city of Morocco. Today, it is a popular tourist destination due to the Majorelle Gardens and Saadian Tombs, as well as the beautiful and imposing mosques.

Without a doubt, Le Meridien N'Fis is known to be Marrakesh's most exotic and luxurious hotel. Le Meridien N'Fis is perfectly situated right in the middle of the Marjorelle Gardens, and thus offers its residents magnificent views of everything the park has to offer. Rooms at Le Meridien N'Fis are extremely stylish and contemporary, with every amenity that one could desire. Depending on your preference, you can request a room that either overlooks the flower filled Andalusian gardens or that opens to views of the Atlas Mountains. Le Meridien N'Fis is known for its excellent customer service, and the hotel staff is always available to assist in all ways possible.

Besides the abundant amenities each room has to offer, the hotel also provides an gorgeous pool for bathing, valet service, concierge, laundry service, tennis courts, business centers, and more. Le Meridien N'Fis hosts more than five different restaurants and bars that serve dishes from all over the world—some of the cuisines served include Italian, Barbeque, Moroccan, Mediterranean and International.

When you've finally saturated yourself with luxury service and comfort, you'll want to venture out into the surrounding five-hectare park. Always remember to wear comfortable walking shoes that are both supportive and stylish. Be sure to stop by the Dar Si Saïd Museum, a museum packed with Moroccan artifacts and crafts. Also spend some time visiting the Saadian Tombs, tombs that were only recently re-discovered in the 20th century. The souks, or markets, are also a great way to spend the afternoon, especially for those who love to shop.
