Marriott has expanded its enviable portfolio of
luxurious Ritz-Carlton hotels with the opening of a very special
property in Dallas, USA.
The property has a 38-year legacy in the Dallas
area and has undergone a US$55 million renovation following its acquisition in 2022 through a joint venture between
Trinity Investments and Partners Group, before opening in late
January as The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas.
Guided by acclaimed design firms Jeffrey Beers
International and Leo A Daly, the initial phase of updates
introduced several enhancements, including the introduction of Bar Juniper, a new
lobby bar spotlighting clear spirits.
Additionally, 427 guest rooms have
been revamped with elements that capture the free-spirited essence
and lifestyle reflective of the resort’s historical roots as the
former Little Ranch on the Hills.

Furthermore, the property now boasts new meeting spaces and state-of-the-art ballroom facilities,
covering a generous 80,000 square feet.
“Our commitment is to deliver The Ritz-Carlton’s
exceptional service in a destination that truly distinguishes
itself,” said Tod Morrow, General Manager for The Ritz-Carlton
Dallas, Las Colinas. “We are eager to introduce our guests,
whether local or visitors, to innovative offerings and distinctive
experiences that forge lasting memories.”
Ideally positioned on 400 acres, The
Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas is situated on a former family
ranch just minutes from downtown Dallas.
Surrounded by a
breathtaking natural setting, the property boasts two 18-hole golf
courses and holds the esteemed certification of an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, capturing the innate beauty of Texas.
Adjacent to the resort is The Nelson Sports and Golf Club,
providing guests with access to expansive recreational facilities, including
outdoor tennis courts, racquetball, a fitness center complete with Technogym equipment, a
group exercise studio featuring classes from aerial yoga to
cycling, and more.
“The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las
Colinas is a highly anticipated addition to the brand,” said Jamie
Kerr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, The Ritz-Carlton.
“The property presents a wonderful opportunity to savor Texas’
natural landscape while indulging in luxurious accommodations, all
while maintaining access to the city—a unique offering that we are
delighted to provide our guests.”
There are still
enhancements scheduled for the property:
This month will see the opening of Knife Italian,
the latest restaurant concept by Michelin-starred chef John Tesar.
Additionally, Campo
Coffee & Provisions is set to debut, offering an European-inspired,
locally roasted espresso program and a sommelier-curated selection
of wines.
As part of the transformation, the 14,000-sqft
on-site salon and spa will transition into The
Ritz-Carlton Spa, whilst the resort pool is undergoing a
complete reimagination, featuring luxury cabanas, expanded
seating, and a new poolside bar to enhance the overall guest
experience.
The ever-popular Ritz-Carlton Club located on
the second floor will also open this month enabling guests to
experience the traditional five daily culinary presentations that
will profile the quintessential
flavors of Texas, as well as invite-only cultural experiences and events.
