Chevy Chase, Md. – The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. has once again ranked highest in the luxury brand segment, for an impressive fourth year in a row by J.D. Power and Associates in their 2013 North America Guest Satisfaction Index Study.

“We could not be prouder of our ladies and gentlemen all over the world for their commitment to excellence every single day,” Said Herve Humler, President and Chief Operations Officer for The Ritz-Carlton. “The results speak for themselves. At a time when hotel guest satisfaction scores have increased to a seven year high, The Ritz-Carlton plays a commanding role. It is an honor to be recognized by J.D.

With 80 hotels and resorts in their world-wide portfolio and six more opening this year, The Ritz-Carlton recently announced plans to add new destinations ranging from Morocco to Japan and Israel to India. This will bring the number of award-winning properties to over 100 by the year 2016.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company achieved an increased score in 2013, resulting in the renowned lifestyle brand leading every category – both within the luxury segment and through the entire study.
