The aim of this paper is to review a case study on the Ritz-Carlton hotel chain and in doing so, provide answers to three different questions highlighted in the case study. In the course of the paper, the hotel’s operations process, marketing process and strategies, and service quality issues are adequately analysed based mainly on information contained in the case study. The paper also contains a review of appropriate literature in the major sections in order to provide better understanding of the analytical issues in the paper. The following questions are being answered: Please identify the operations of the Ritz using a transformation process model, including inputs (transforming and transformed), outputs, transformation process, and communication between the Ritz and customers. Most people see a Ritz-Carlton hotel as a swanky building on a prime site, such as London’s Piccadilly, but is the structure the essence of the hotel chain’s success? What accounts for the Ritz-Carlton’s continued success? Use the marketing strategies to analyse, explain how the Ritz make market segmentation, differentiation and position itself in the market. What are the key determinants of the service quality perceived by the Ritz-Carlton’s customers?
