Ritz-Carlton Makes Gourmet’s Top 10 List

The Ritz-Carlton of Laguna Niguel was named one of the world’s top 10 hotels in a survey of Gourmet magazine readers. The Hotel Bel-Air, in ritzy Bel-Air, took top honors overall.

Last year, in the magazine’s first survey of hotels, the Ritz-Carlton also was highly ranked. Although the Ritz-Carlton is delighted with the recognition, no one expects a dramatic increase in booked rooms. But extra publicity never hurts, said spokeswoman Suzanne Willis.
