The Ritz Carlton destinations worldwide

Warm private villa accommodation at the base of Vail Mountain, the Ritz-Carlton Club format trading hotel rooms for owner-style villas with mountain views, the ski-in/ski-out access and outdoor pool making it the resort's most private elevated address.

KMD Architects and Taller G's Chapultepec Uno tower positions the Ritz-Carlton's 153 rooms on floors 36–47, every window framing an uninterrupted view of Chapultepec Park's 678 hectares of forest in the heart of one of the world's largest cities.

Nikken Sekkei's 2014 low-rise Kamogawa riverside building defers to the Higashiyama mountain silhouette; Peter Remedios' interiors extend that respect for place through woven bamboo screens, Nishiki textiles, and a palette drawn from the Kyoto seasons visible through every window, the Michelin-starred restaurant completing a property of genuine contextual intelligence.

Kevin Roche's 1996 Marina Bay tower—32 curved storeys calibrated to maximise views from every angle—houses over 4,200 works by Chihuly, Hockney, and Warhol displayed with museum seriousness across the public areas, the Michelin-starred Summer Pavilion and the noted Colony restaurant independently reinforcing the hotel's reputation beyond accommodation.

Peter Mason and Simon Hamui Design Studio's 2002 grand Rocky Mountain lodge—river stone fireplaces, hand-hewn timber, antler chandeliers—at 8,100 feet in Beaver Creek Resort delivers ski-in/ski-out access to uncrowded terrain, a celebrated mountain spa, and alpine architecture that avoids cliché through the quality of its craftsmanship.

An ocean-facing Fort Lauderdale luxury property with understated rooms, an outdoor pool, café-bar, and spa, its Intracoastal waterway setting and lower-key profile offering an alternative to the more intensely branded Miami Beach properties an hour south.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's Tokyo Midtown tower places the Ritz-Carlton on its uppermost nine floors—the highest hotel in Japan when it opened in 2007—Peter Remedios' interiors of pale marble and Japanese lacquerwork framing Fuji and the Imperial Palace in a single panoramic view on clear days.

High-end oceanfront retreat with a spa & an indoor pool, plus 2 golf courses & 3 restaurants.
