Hospitality Career E-Mag: NEWS | The Ritz-Carlton Hotel embraces Sensuous Aesthetics Of hotel design

Prior to the end of this year, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, will open the doors to six new luxury hotels in its growing global portfolio. Spectacular properties in Chengdu and Tianjin will bring the luxury brand’s number of hotels in China to ten; the opulent Ritz-Carlton hotels in Almaty, Herzliya and Bangalore will mark the brand’s entry into Israel, Kazakhstan and India; and the barefoot luxury experience in Aruba will be another milestone in quality design execution. For the last decade, The Ritz-Carlton design team has produced specifications for one individually designed and curated hotel after the next. Vienna, Muscat and Riyadh were all former palaces, tastefully converted and opened as opulent Ritz-Carlton hotels.

The Ritz-Carlton properties in Philadelphia and Georgetown near Washington DC saw a new era of converted and preserved heritage spaces. The building in Philadelphia, the city’s first bank dating back to 1904 and in Georgetown, a red brick incinerator with a towering chimney stack was converted to a hotel of contemporary design. In Beijing Financial Street, modern, colorful and imaginative creations such as hanging calligraphy brushes adorn rooms with incredible diversity – yet retain relevance and celebrate the culture of this ancient Chinese city. As The Ritz-Carlton embarks upon the development of an additional 30 hotels within the next three years, the design philosophy is defined as “consistently inconsistent.”

“Each new project gives us an opportunity to create the best hotel within its environment that provides a true sense of place. Consideration is given to the market needs and how we can best create a hotel that will be a signature property within the group,” said the company’s Senior Vice President of Design and Project Management, Bill Barrie.
