First Look: Ritz Carlton To Open Worlds Tallest Hotel In Hong Kong | Huffington Post

If you build it, they will come. If you build it bigger and higher, they will pay to come. Maybe the Ritz-Carlton saw the Armani Hotel Dubai in the Burj Khalifa--the current tallest building in the world--as a challenge. Or, maybe the hotel group just wanted to create some local competition with the Park Hyatt Shanghai (to date the highest rooftop observation deck in Asia). Or, maybe still, the pending opening of the tallest hotel in the world was just another way for the legendary hotel group to make an unforgettable impression.

Outsourced housekeeping - the panacea to all our housekeeping woes?

I have personally worked with a couple of third parties in the past, one that managed only the hiring process and the payroll portion, and one that actually managed the operations - under my team's supervision.
