Plans for the re-entry of Marriott International’s ultra-luxury hotel brand, The Ritz-Carlton, to Sydney have been revived with the NSW Government understood to have approved a modified development proposal.

The Higashiyama Niseko Village, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve will make its highly-anticipated debut in Niseko, Hokkaido on 15 December 2020 as the 2020/21 winter season unfolds.

The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach has re-opened following a multi-year, US$90 million renovation. The property overhaul comes 2.5 years since Hurricane Irma struck the Miami region and devastated the luxury hotel.

Star Entertainment Group’s hopes of winning approval for the $529 Ritz-Carlton luxury hotel and residential tower in Pyrmont, Sydney have been scuttled by the NSW Independent Planning Commission. Today [Wednesday 20 November, 2019], the IPC sided with the state Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s decision to reject the 237-metre-tall structure after months of debate.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C has today opened The Ritz-Carlton, Perth. Part of the landmark development at Elizabeth Quay, The Ritz-Carlton, Perth overlooks the city’s Swan River and Kings Park. The opening also marks the 100th Ritz-Carlton property globally and heralds a much-anticipated return of the iconic luxury brand to Australia.

Marriott International has inked a deal to open The Ritz-Carlton, Montenegro and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Montenegro, marking the brand’s first property in the country.

The Star Entertainment Group will potentially reduce the height of its proposed ultra luxury hotel and residence project in Sydney’s Pyrmont by 24 metres to alleviate concerns of overshadowing.

The Lord Mayor of Sydney has questioned the credibility of the state’s planning system this week as the NSW Independent Planning Commission (IPC) began hearing the case for and against by numerous parties for the proposed development of The Ritz-Carlton Sydney.

The Star Entertainment Group is weighing up its options on the future of the proposed six-star Ritz-Carlton hotel after the current plan was rejected last week, fundamentally due to the project’s over towering height.

The Star Sydney is facing a potential hurdle reintroducing the five-star Ritz-Carlton brand back to Sydney. More than 80% of submissions from the public made to the NSW Government are protesting development of the 237 metre tower which is slated to be added to the existing footprint of The Star Sydney. Most of those lodging objections to the $500 million structure live in the same suburb as the proposed project in Pyrmont. Their primary squabble is that the newbuild luxury hotel tower disregards the height guidelines of a Master Plan for the suburb.

Expanded facilities will feature thoughtful design and handcrafted touches that seek to amplify the natural beauty of the environment while each of the resort’s 114 beachfront guestrooms and suites will be enhanced with a reimagined colour palette.
