Yes, you can live permanently in a Ritz-Carlton property through The Ritz-Carlton Residences, which are specialized residential wings or standalone buildings managed by the hotel brand. Unlike a standard hotel stay, these are private condominiums that you own as real estate. As a resident, you enjoy the "legendary service" of the hotel, including 24-hour concierge, valets, and access to hotel amenities like the spa and fitness center, but in a private, residential environment. While you could technically live in a standard Ritz-Carlton hotel room as a "permanent guest" by paying the nightly rate (similar to how Coco Chanel lived at the Ritz Paris for 34 years), modern high-net-worth individuals typically opt for the Residences for the benefit of ownership and more spacious, home-like layouts. In 2026, these properties exist in major global hubs like New York, Kuala Lumpur, and Miami, catering to those who want a "permanent vacation" lifestyle with five-star support.
