Ritz Carlton in Guanzhou, a Feminine Hand

z Carleton, Guangzhou, a Feminine Hand

Newsweek proclaims that despite a worldwide economic melt, China had a very good year. From my perfect perch on the 35th floor of the Guangzhou Ritz Carlton, I can believe it. Below and above new buildings are sprouting like mushrooms after a rain. This part of Guangzhou is called Pearl River New City and it will indeed be a new city.

On another front the RC is headed by a new woman GM, the energetic Michelle Caporicci, a southern California native. That news has spread like wildfire in the media here. Things are changing in China and Ritz is playing a leading role here, first as an anchor for New City and second by the high posting of a most talented GM. My experience here has given me plenty of face time with her. A more hands on GM, I have never met. Things here are certainly looking up, literally.
