Ritz-Carlton Makes Grade With Gourmet

Hats off to the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Dana Point for being voted among the world’s best hotels and resorts, according to a first-ever reader’s survey by Gourmet magazine.

Normally devoted to high-brow cuisine and cultured living, Gourmet for the first time in its May issue concentrates exclusively to fine lodgings.

More than 300 hotels, resorts, inns and bed & breakfasts in 56 countries are listed in the published report, called “Rooms at the Top.” More than 7,000 of Gourmet’s 300,000 subscribers responded to the survey.
