Iconic Florida Resort Ushers in a New Era of Luxury and Comfort
NAPLES, Fla., May 9, 2023 – Pack your bags and prep your sunscreen! The legendary Ritz-Carlton, Naples, is set to reopen on July 6th, 2023, after a significant renovation and expansion that began in 2021. This grand reopening promises to take the already iconic resort's guest experience to a whole new level of luxury and comfort.
The Gulf Coast gem is set to debut the Vanderbilt Tower, home to an opulent new Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge and over seventy club-level guest rooms. But wait, there's more! The resort will also showcase a revamped lobby, three new tantalizing dining experiences, and newly designed outdoor spaces featuring fresh pools, bungalows, and cabanas. All of the resort's 474 guest rooms and suites have undergone extensive redesigns, promising a whole new world of coastal sophistication.
"Our goal was to create an even more exceptional guest experience, and we are confident that our new additions will exceed expectations," said Ritz-Carlton Area General Manager Mark Ferland.
In an exciting development, the resort expects over 80% of its hourly staff and more than 95% of the management team to return post-renovation. Additionally, over 300 new job openings are expected across The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, and The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Tiburon.
The crowning glory of the Vanderbilt Tower is the new Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge. Here, guests will find a dedicated full-service bar, media room, exclusive programming, and five daily culinary presentations.
Upon arrival, guests will be treated to an ornate lobby bar, featuring a Signature Champagne Tasting Experience curated by Master Sommelier Elyse Lambert. With a selection of over fifty champagnes and sparkling wines, it's the perfect way to kickstart your Ritz-Carlton experience!
For the foodies, prepare to be delighted! The resort will introduce three new dining experiences. These include Sofra, a vegetable-forward restaurant inspired by the shareable plates of the Eastern Mediterranean, and Moka, a coffee lover's paradise offering a wide variety of hand-picked, artisanal brews. A third, yet-to-be-announced restaurant concept will further enhance the resort's culinary offerings.
The poolside experience has also received a massive facelift, with a new family-friendly resort pool, an adult pool, a lap pool, and a hot tub. Ten fully-enclosed, air-conditioned bungalows equipped with private baths, televisions, entertainment systems, and refreshment bars will be available for those seeking the ultimate luxury.
The resort's guestrooms and suites now exude casual elegance and timeless sophistication. With the addition of more than 60 suites, the resort now offers over 90 multi-room suites, including Royal Suites with three bedrooms and bathrooms, perfect for families and extended stays.
