Tips

culture

A clever transliteration: it sounds like 'Ritz' while the characters mean 'beautiful + exquisite' — exactly the brand image. The Ritz-Carlton chain in mainland China typically uses the longer transliteration 丽思卡尔顿 (Lìsī Kǎ'ěrdùn); 丽致 is more common in Taiwan and as a literary rendering.
