Ritz-Carlton to Add ONE Bal Harbour to Florida Portfolio

CHEVY CHASE, Md.—The Ritz-Carlton will assume management of ONE Bal Harbour Resort & Spa on Oct. 2. The luxury resort will become The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami marking the 10th property in the hotel company’s Florida portfolio.

The 18-story glass tower overlooks the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal waterway and sits on five acres of landscaped gardens and 750-feet of beach in Bal Harbour. The neighborhood is known for its upscale shops and restaurants and the close proximity to South Beach.

All 124 suites, including a 2,800-square-foot penthouse suite, have oceanfront views and feature European wood cabinetry and granite countertops, stand-alone egg-shaped tubs in bathrooms, and large terraces.

“We are very excited to partner once again with the ownership groups of The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach; the Lionstone Group, an entity of the Lowenstein Family and Flag Luxury Group LLC led by Paul and Dayssi Kanavos,” said Herve Humler, president and chief operating officer of The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company.

A centerpiece of the resort is the 10,000-square-foot waterfront spa. Ten private treatment suites complete with ocean views, a waterfront terrace, and a reflecting room for pre-and post-treatment relaxation, in addition to a state-of-the-art fitness center, are available to hotel guests and residents in the community.

Other highlights include a European-edged outdoor swimming pool, a beach, and luxury cabanas with private hot tubs. Savory bites are served at the resort’s restaurant and pool bar and grill.

For meetings and special events, the hotel offers 2,400 square feet of indoor space and an additional 3,400 square feet of outdoor terraces.

“Florida continues to offer tremendous potential to the luxury traveler and the opening of The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami is a key strategic move to expand our presence across a region beloved by Ritz-Carlton guests,” Humler noted.
