RITZY TIMING

Note that while the W opens this week, today the Ritz managed to snag a good chunk of ink with the announcement today of the new 23 story Regency-style tower and the 4 Regency Row homes. I got my press announcement kit in such a pretty cornflower blue envelope I almost did not want to open it. I’ll scan the rendition photo in for you later.

I ache for the Mavericks — what a bummer — but at least we have the Ritz in Dallas, finally after all these years. A championship next year is in the air… so they can stay at the Ritz! Or W. Or Palomar. Or Mandarin O. Dear Lord, we need a championship just to fill all those hotels!
