However, the GPTMC, also dutifully no doubt, failed to note that both hotels have steadily fallen in the magazine's recent Top 100 hotels lists. Last year the Four Seasons was No. 74 and Rittenhouse No. 93. (The list goes from 1 to 100, so a smaller number is a higher rank). In 2005 the Four Seasons was No. 48 and the Rittenhouse No. 65. In 2003 the Four Seasons was No. 15 and Rittenhouse No. 64. You get the point. (Here's 2004 and 2002, which show the same basic trend.)
Sure, just making the cut in this online popularity poll is a feat. But does this also say something else? Perhaps it's not only about the hotels, but about the city itself? Then again, these online surveys can be notoriously fickle. Hard to believe the Four Seasons actually dropped 70 notches in four years. We may have to ask for an expense-paid meal there to investigate ...

it's not that they're dropping per se, but rather a matter of so many new luxury hotels opening that it is making it harder and harder for hotels that have been around a decade or two to keep up. Literally, there are more than 30 hotels on this year's list, that weren't on the list in 2006, the overwhelming majority of which are brand new.
