On Location: Battery Park

A stone's throw from Wall Street, there's an oasis in Manhattan: The Ritz-Carlton, Battery Park. This five-year-old beacon of style and service is more than a local favorite. For small to medium-sized meetings, the 298-room property combines uptown luxury (Bulgari in the bath, Frette on the bed, Prada in the spa), downtown excitement, and a breath of fresh air in the city.
