CHEVY CHASE, MD—The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC has planned to unveil its first Ritz-Carlton Reserve resort in Bermuda in 2018. The resort will operate under a long-term management agreement with George’s Bay Hotel Ltd. and George’s Bay Residences Ltd.
The move marks a significant milestone for the development of Ritz-Carlton Reserve in the Caribbean and Latin America.
