Ritz-Carlton announces new resort for Aruba

Luxury hotel brand Ritz-Carlton has announced plans to open an exclusive 320-room oceanfront resort situated on Aruba’s famed Palm Beach.

The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba will bring a new level of elegance in accommodation and amenities to the island. It will offer several restaurants, a luxurious spa, two swimming pools and a 24-hour casino. In addition to spacious rooms and suites, the hotel will include The Ritz-Carlton Club Level, a private floor accessible only by elevator key, offering light fare and dedicated concierge service throughout the day.

The property will be located in Palm Beach, which is home to some of the island’s finest beaches, with lush tropical surroundings and a balmy temperature that allows for swimming, sunbathing and relaxation by the water all year round.

The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba is projected to open in late 2012 and will be the seventh property in The Ritz-Carlton portfolio in the Caribbean.

Aruba Tourism Authority UK director Joanna Walding said:

“Aruba is renowned as a quality welcoming destination. The island is home to some of the world’s most highly regarded brands and the addition of a prestigious hotel such as the Ritz Carlton raises the standards of our tourism industry even higher.”
