On Instagram, Ritz-Carlton makes a great impression. They produce content that is eye-catching, interesting and relevant. They post pictures of extraordinarily exotic locations, luxurious hotel suites and relaxing getaways. Ritz-Carlton posts their captivating Instagram content multiple times daily. The description is as follows; Our official account is a collection of your #RCMemories, celebrating travel around the globe.

Hashtags included are; #LakeTahoe, #California, #Rainbow, #Adventure, #RoomWithAView, #Dubai, #LuxuryTravel, #UAE, #Poolside and #Paradise to name a few. Ritz-Carlton’s memory gallery is a compilation of photos from customers who volunteered to upload their Ritz-Carlton memories. The link that takes you to the #RCMemories page is bit.ly/1TE7ZQw. . In terms of the Ritz-Carlton, their most successful post was titled “Serendipitous #sunsets at The Ritz-Carlton, #GrandCayman.






With 2192 like and 60 comments, this sunset photo taken in the Caribbean was by far the most successful post. This post was successful due to its raw and original content of a gorgeous sunset which resonates the elements of calmness, tranquility and quality.

Shangri-la’s Instagram will have you at hello! They produce content multiple times a day that shows stunning images of world and the most exotic of locations. Shangri-La leaves a lasting mark with its Instagram channel. The title heading includes ‘Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts (@shangrilahotels) • Instagram photos and videos’.

Shangri-la’s has a link to its own photo gallery posted by Shangri-La as well as from customers from all over the world with captivating and memorable moments that they would love to share.

In terms of Shangri-la, their most successful post areas follows “Garden by the Bay is an award-winning horticultural attraction houses over 250 thousand rare plants, and is just a five-minute walk from the city, #GardensbytheBay #Singapore”.







With 1,112 likes and 17 comments, this post taken in Singapore was a definite winner. I believe this post was successful due to the uniqueness of Singapore’s Garden by the Bay especially at night where it is truly captivating.
