I see they are opening late October--for training? But accepting bookings late November. Will be curious the impact on the two Ritz, La Playa, etc.
Any news on the Ritz Tiburon renovation?
The Four Seasons in Naples is indeed an exciting addition to the area, and it has generated a lot of interest. As you noted, they are expected to open in late October for staff training, but the official booking for guests will begin in late November. The hotel will bring a new level of luxury to the area, and its opening will likely have an impact on other high-end resorts in the area, including the Ritz-Carlton, La Playa Beach & Golf Resort, and others.
As for the impact on nearby resorts like the Ritz-Carlton, the Four Seasons will likely provide some competition in the luxury market, especially with its reputation for top-notch service and amenities. The Ritz-Carlton, being an established brand, will likely continue to attract its loyal clientele, but the Four Seasons will certainly raise the bar for high-end accommodations in the region.
Regarding the Ritz-Carlton Tiburon, there have been some renovation updates recently. The Ritz-Carlton Naples, which includes the Tiburon golf course and residential properties, has been undergoing extensive upgrades to enhance both the resort and golf course. The resort’s renovations are expected to elevate the guest experience and attract even more visitors. As of now, the timeline for the full completion of the renovation is not entirely clear, but they are focusing on refining the resort's luxury features, including the guest rooms, common areas, and outdoor spaces.
In summary, the opening of the Four Seasons will definitely change the dynamic of luxury accommodations in Naples, providing more choices for visitors. The Ritz-Carlton Tiburon renovations will further enhance its appeal, so both resorts will likely continue to be strong contenders in the area’s upscale hotel scene. However, it's an exciting time for visitors, as there will be even more luxury options to choose from in the coming months.
