President’s letter ExcEEding ExpEctations C aribbe an Cl a ss Bottom: Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve has emerged as a breathtaking gem of Puerto Rico. L “Let us stay with you.” This invitation from The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company celebrates how our ladies and gentlemen create unforgettable memories for you, our valued guest. We are proud to deliver a unique blend of beautiful design, superb craftsmanship and legendary service at our hotels and resorts around the world. Still, we know you expect the absolute best, and as our portfolio continues to grow, we delight in finding new ways to exceed your expectations, from spectacular suites and restaurants to architecturally delightful spaces that authentically reflect a destination’s culture and landscape. The Ritz-Carlton recently opened its first luxury resort in Japan on the tropical island of Okinawa. The property’s panoramic views of the East China Sea and forest-inspired spa have earned raves from travelers. In Canada, the iconic Ritz-Carlton Montréal reopened after an extensive $200 million restoration, combining a contemporary design and the latest amenities with the splendor of the original 1912 building. You can see a few highlights on page 95 of this magazine. We are, perhaps, most excited about our newest property: Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Puerto Rico. A former plantation, Dorado Beach is now a secluded retreat inspired by the legacy of its original developer, Laurance S. Rockefeller. The resort is the first of its kind in the Americas, with its intimate accommodations, private butler service and unique amenities, such as a treetop spa. I invite you to get a first glimpse of the property on page 87 and visit doradobeachreserve.com for a full tour. It’s sure to become a must-stay resort for discerning travelers. No matter which Ritz-Carlton hotel you visit this year, our ladies and gentlemen are committed to making it an experience that stays with you.
