Travel Agent was recently lucky enough to take a tour of what representatives of the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman are calling “the largest and most elaborate luxury hotel suite ever to open in the Caribbean.”
Located on the Cayman Islands’ famous Seven Mile Beach, the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman recently made a big splash by unveiling a new, uber swanky Penthouse Suite that we were told ranges from $18,000 and $25,000 a night.
With more than 19,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space, Travel Agent recommends pitching this room to multigenerational families and couples traveling with other couples.
The Penthouse welcomes clients via a private elevator. The Penthouse offers a full kitchen and regal dining room area, a private library, as well as an expansive, wrap-around outdoor terrace with some beautiful views of the beach. One of Travel Agent’s favorite features of the room, however, was the room’s own private cinema.
Signature luxury amenities that accompany the Penthouse experience include a private beachfront cabana, hand-selected cinema and entertainment options based on the clients’ interests and preferences, dining options from the hotel’s culinary team and wine selections hand-picked by the resort’s Sommelier.
The Penthouse will also include its own “personal assistant” (think butler) designed to ensure all of the clients’ needs are met.
A mixture of natural materials helps to create a textured, layered look within the interior and soften the contemporary aesthetic.
Stone including Gascogne Blue Limestone, Azul Macauba and Cipollino Cremo Tirreno marble were hand selected to mimic the natural beauty of the island, expertly blending the destination with the living space.
Fabrics and furniture throughout the space include shagreen pattern embossed leathers, sea fan-inspired hand-knotted silk and wool rugs and rich linens, silks, and velvets in colors of the sand and ocean to make each space rich and alluring.
Located on the seventh floor of the resort’s south residential tower, the project was conceived in collaboration with Five Mile Capital and Phoenix Construction.
