Ritz-Carlton Hotels have their very own place in the history of luxury hotels. Even those who have never spent the night in a 5-star hotel know the name and can place it straight away. Even though the interior design and architecture of today's Ritz-Carlton Hotels and Resorts satisfy contemporary and up-to-date standards, a typical feature from the time of César Ritz has been retained - the 'Cobalt Blue Goblet'. In every restaurant and café, tables are still laid using this blue glass tableware. At the beginning of the 1920's in Boston, blue glass was seen as a sophisticated status symbol. And still is today in Boston, Singapore and everywhere else.
