The first Ritz-Carlton Hotel was built in Boston in 1927. The New York Ritz-Carlton was located at Forty-sixth and Madison Avenue. From 1910 Louis Diat ran the kitchens and "famously invented vichyssoise". [Kamp, David "The United States of Arugula", New York: Broadway Books, 2006.]

The Montreal Ritz-Carlton Hotel on Sherbrooke Street was built in 1912, but officially, it is not part of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Chain.

Naples, Florida is the only city with two Ritz-Carlton hotels on the same road.
