The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, located on Florida’s Gulf Coast, is set to undergo a redesign and expansion, marking its 40th anniversary. The property re-opened this month with redesigned outdoor spaces, guest rooms, public areas, and three new restaurants. The Vanderbilt Tower, the largest club lounge in North America, will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, a media room, chic seating, a grand chandelier, and a full-service bar. The resort’s youngest guests will have a dedicated play area while their parents enjoy stunning Gulf views.
The Ritz-Carlton in Naples began transforming the guest experience in 2021 by creating a sophisticated lobby bar with a master sommelier-curated tasting experience and redefining the arrival experience for Club Level guests. The transformation aimed to elevate service delivery and experiential luxury throughout the resort. The expansive lobby features a timeless earthy palette with turquoise pops, anchored by a spectacular bar offering an extensive wine and Champagne list. The resort’s most notable culinary addition is Sofra, an open-air eastern Mediterranean eatery decorated with millwork installation, custom-made tiles, and art. Executive chef Satish Yerramilli focuses on fresh seasonal seafood and local produce.
The Ritz-Carlton, Naples plans to reopen with 80% of hourly “Ladies and Gentlemen” returning and over 95% of the management team. The resort is hiring over 300 “Ladies and Gentlemen” to support both The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, and The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Tiburon.
The Ritz-Carlton, Naples is reopening with Moka, a new dining concept offering a variety of coffees from a local roaster. A third restaurant is also in the works, with more details to be revealed later this year. The transformation aims to serve guests and honor the oceanfront resort’s legacy while infusing elegance and sophistication of coastal luxury. Guests will also enjoy a reimagined poolside experience with 10 air-conditioned bungalows, 10 cabanas, three revamped pools, and a hot tub upon the hotel’s reopening on July 6.
The Ritz-Carlton, Naples, has undergone a redesign with architects Cooper Carry and Parker Torres Design, updating 474 accommodations. The bathrooms now feature marble finishes and soaking tubs. The hotel will reopen on July 6 with nightly rates starting at $699.
