A Reimagined Club-Level Experience: The Vanderbilt Tower
One of the most notable changes to the resort’s footprint is the new Vanderbilt Tower, a 14-floor expansion adding more than 70 Club-Level rooms to the resort offerings. Reflecting the needs of today’s luxury traveler, the signature tower has been designed exclusively for Club Level guests, complete with dedicated check-in, more spacious and highly appointed guest rooms, and an elevated Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge experience. At 4,000 square feet, the new Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge is a pioneer within the brand, with private spaces for dining and entertainment, as well as curated programming that connects guests with unique resort and local experiences.
Introducing New Culinary Options
Now home to eight unique dining destinations, The Ritz-Carlton, Naples offers a dynamic culinary journey with new concepts bringing modern flair and flavors that expand upon the already extensive offerings found at the resort. The new Lobby Bar is the first taste of the new culinary and cocktail experiences offered by the resort, with a Master Sommelier-designed menu of champagnes and elevated pairings,
Serving lunch and dinner, Sofra is a vegetable-forward restaurant inspired by the shareable, flavorful plates of the Eastern Mediterranean. The open-air concept restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Vanderbilt Tower, just steps from the pool.
Moka has also debuted, offering a wide variety of coffees made from hand-picked beans selected in partnership with a third-generation roasting family. A fourth new restaurant concept, set to be announced later this year, will bring a unique culinary experience to further complement the resort’s beloved restaurants, including Dusk, as well as Gumbo Limbo and The Grill, both of which reopened in July.
Elevated Guest Experiences
To elevate its poolside experiences, the resort added 10 fully enclosed, air-conditioned bungalows, each with its own private bath, television, entertainment system and service bar for refreshments. Additionally, 10 cabanas will be added to the pool area that will each have plush seating, ceiling fans and televisions.
The revitalized outdoor experience joins the completed transformation of The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Spa, which debuted in January 2022. The 51,000-square-foot luxury spa provides a serene and welcoming palette that complements the treatments and therapies that use local herbs and botanicals. The luxury spa began welcoming guests and members again in early August.
