The New Era of Luxury
There's a new definition of luxury. With an understated style and timeless grace, it reflects a revised sense of value and an unmistakable pedigree. And it's beautifully addressed in the redesign of The Ritz-Carlton Magazine, led by James Truman, former editorial director of Condé Nast.
And now, for the first time ever, this new era of luxury will come to life through The Ritz-Carlton Global Media Network, allowing advertisers to reach an exclusive affluent consumer base through a multitude of touch points, from The Ritz-Carlton Magazine to multimedia entertainment accessible on ritzcarlton.com.

A unique heritage –
Now a worldwide icon.

Born in an era of refined elegance, The Ritz-Carlton is a global icon that's come to represent unsurpassed quality, luxury and service. And through compelling content, The Ritz-Carlton Magazine returns luxury to its rightful place – as curator of culture, history, art, knowledge, beauty and travel.

Each quarter, within the pages of The Ritz-Carlton Magazine, destinations are explored for their inner secrets and undiscovered treasures. Private passions, whether it's collecting wine, reading thought-provoking nonfiction or playing golf, are considered passages to personal fulfillment. And iconic personalities are revealed and their words revered.

World-renowned writers, photographers, editors and artists will come together in each issue to remind readers of what is truly worth their valuable time and money. And in doing so, they'll enable The Ritz-Carlton Magazine to refine luxury and deliver an exclusive, highly engaged audience into the hands of savvy advertisers.

Reaching an exclusive audience
in print. And online.

The Ritz-Carlton Global Media Network is a one-of-a-kind media offering that allows advertisers the unique opportunity to reach a discerning audience within a highly engaged, exclusive environment – in magazines featured in The Ritz-Carlton's guest rooms and online at ritzcarlton.com. The Ritz-Carlton Magazine advertisers now enjoy more ways to present their products and services and drive sales, through a proprietary distribution program that is exclusive to:

  • In-room guests at more than 70-plus Ritz-Carlton properties worldwide
  • Direct-to-home mailings to 15,000 Most Valuable Guests recognized by the ladies and gentlemen of The Ritz-Carlton
  • Purchasers at Ritz-Carlton boutiques and gift shops
  • Bonus distribution to all Ritz-Carlton Clubs and Ritz-Carlton Residences worldwide

And now, over the coming year, the Ritz-Carlton Global Media Network will further engage guests through immersive, entertaining online multimedia content, including:

  • Local destination videos featuring points of interest and cultural attractions near Ritz-Carlton properties
  • Companion podcasts
  • Online slide shows spotlighting Ritz-Carlton destinations
  • Virtual postcards that can be shared with friends and family
  • Ritz-Carlton events that provide additional opportunities for advertisers to reach this exclusive market.

The Ritz-Carlton Global Media Network is the first-of-its-kind media offering that allows advertisers the opportunity to reach this exclusive audience, and develop a meaningful dialogue, through these multimedia touch points.

The last word on luxury.

Today's luxury manifests itself in experiences and purchases with demonstrable value. Beauty, knowledge, collecting, access and self-fulfillment are the new touchstones of wealth. Content in The Ritz-Carlton Magazine and online through The Ritz-Carlton Global Media Network not only reflects these interests, but combines them with a world of visual delight and international style, with topics including:

  • Unique travel destinations
  • The season's freshest fashions
  • The world's great shopping streets and neighborhoods
  • Elegant jewelry and accessories
  • The best in home design
  • Food, wine and spirits
  • Intriguing book excerpts
  • Inspired wellness solutions
  • Fabulous outdoor escapes
  • Heritage and tradition, celebrated through individuals as iconic as The Ritz-Carlton brand itself

Looking forward by giving back.

The Ritz-Carlton has built a legacy of extraordinary service. This tradition extends into its social and environmental responsibility program, Community Footprints, dedicated to the goal of positively affecting the lives of others. In keeping with this commitment, The Ritz-Carlton Community Footprints Program collaborates with local organizations where The Ritz-Carlton properties reside around the world.

The foundation has three pillars of focus: hunger and poverty relief, well-being of disadvantaged children and environmental conservation. To date, Community Footprints has donated millions of dollars in products and services to charitable organizations and performed thousands of hours of volunteer service.

As an advertiser in The Ritz-Carlton Magazine, you now have the opportunity to be a part of this important initiative by contributing to The Ritz-Carlton Community Footprints Program in your local community.
