Naples Beach, FL
Cooper Carry’s Hospitality Studio is providing architectural services for one of Florida's hospitality crown jewels, The Ritz-Carlton Naples. Our team will be leading resort renovation and expansion, enhancing the luxurious design that is iconic to the brand. The renovation includes the addition of a new 74-key tower and conversion of existing guest rooms into new suites, which will include living rooms, separate bedrooms, and five-fixture baths. In addition, the renovation effort includes the refresh and reimagining of existing guest rooms, all with unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico.
The tower’s spacious new club lounge on the lobby level features a bar, a private meeting room, and an outdoor terrace overlooking the pool. The redesigned lobby stays on trend by creating a stronger connection between the food and beverage areas and the public areas of the hotel. The original glamour of teatime at the Ritz provided inspiration for the Champagne theme, exceeding guests’ highest luxury standards.
The expanded family pool as well as the brand-new adult pool will include premier seating. Each deck features private bungalows, in addition to the traditional fabric-enclosed poolside cabanas. The spa, originally opened in 2001, will also receive a refresh, with updated treatment rooms and public areas. The stunning transformation will ensure guests return year after year to this treasured property on the Florida coast. This project, which was ready to open but then hit and damaged by Hurricane Ian in late 2022, is now expected to open in 2023.
