Abstract: The hospitality industry represents not only one of the most diverse and dynamic economic activity, but also one of the largest and fastest growing industry worldwide. It includes hotels, restaurants and resorts, and constitutes one of the major employers in the world. As one of the most visible sector within the hospitality industry, the luxury hotel industry has attracted more and more customers and investors in the past decades. The marketing mix being a key element of the wider marketing strategy of a company occupies a prominent place in the luxury hotel industry. This paper proposes to identify and analyze the components of the marketing mix in this industry by using the example of Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, an American luxury hotel chain. The methodological approach is based on a case study.
