Ritz-Carlton to develop hotel on St Kitts
St Kitts Tourism Authority and the Ministry of Tourism have announced a Ritz-Carlton Resort will open on the island in 2021.
Minister of tourism, international trade, industry and commerce Lindsay F P Grant said: "We look forward to welcoming the Ritz-Carlton to our shores.
"This well-known and highly regarded brand will complement our existing hotel product and add to the mix of accommodations we offer as we continue to target the discerning, experiential traveller.
"Similar to other new hotel developments on island, the Ritz-Carlton Resort will create 300 jobs on island during construction with a further 250 jobs once the hotel and resort is operational, providing employment for our citizens and benefitting the economy"
The proposed 125-room Ritz-Carlton Resort will be located on the beach facing the Caribbean Sea in the picturesque southeast peninsula of the island and will also include 25 Ritz-Carlton branded villas and residences.
Among the hotel’s amenities will be a spa, several swimming pools set within the lush tropical landscape and indoor and outdoor dining facilities and meeting spaces.
The resort is part of a larger development project led by The Liamuiga Corporation.
