When they first built this place I was driving a cab nights so I went to check it out. You know, its the Ritz, legendary. The lobby is not as you walk in; you have to take an elevator up to the 12th floor (if memory serves). It is posh and elegant as you might expect. There is a big fountain there. I just thought of the engineering of this when I first saw it and was impressed. Later, when I sat at one of the little tables and relaxed, I was impressed by the peaceful ambiance they had created. They used to have a 24 hour restaurant there. It has been years since I visited, so I have no idea if it is still open all night. But when it was, it was a great place to eat some elegant and surprisingly not-too-expensive food in the middle of the night. http://www.fourseasons.com/
