Ritz-Carlton’s Twentieth Anniversary Celebration
When the Ritz-Carlton opened its elegant doors in Arlington twenty years ago, they were a pioneering luxury hotel in their Pentagon City neighborhood. Since then they have become an important destination hotel for high level diplomatic and military visits, a home to Presidential Inauguration events and VIP guests from around the globe.Last week they invited their loyal clientele to join them in celebrating two decades of success, with a sumptuous reception in the ballroom that featured signature cocktails and the glories of the kitchen prepared by recently appointed Executive Chef, Frederic Chartier. The baby-faced Chartier, who has staged at The Four Seasons and George V in Paris, brings Modern French cuisine to the hotel’s fyve Restaurant Lounge. The evening capped off with Pastry Chef Dallas Marsteller’s divine desserts, including scrumptious mini-strawberry shortcakes.
