We tend to be people who hold on to the past, but that's not always such a bad thing. It is exciting to think that all of these new hotel chains (Mandarin Oriental, InterContinental, Taj) have faith in our city's economy. It's very exciting. So, compared to the Ritz, what are the major differences in the hotels that you have seen? Do you think they will make any changes to the old Ritz even though they say they will keep it the same for the most part?

I've stayed in Taj hotels abroad, and they are topnotch. I think it's a good thing for Boston to have a new lux company come in to the Ritz, because, let's face it, the Ritz needs a shot of energy. It's lived under the shadow of the Four Seasons for far too long. I like the name Taj…it has a royal ring to it, as much as the Ritz does, to my ears.
