The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas officially transfers flags after yearlong transformation
DALLAS, TX (Jan. 23, 2024) – The newest Ritz-Carlton is official, joining the luxury brand’s portfolio of more than 100 hotels and resorts worldwide. Named The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas as of today, the 400-acre property is set in the rolling hills of a former family ranch just minutes from downtown Dallas.
Formerly The Four Seasons Resort at Las Colinas for nearly 38 years, the resort had been operating as The Las Colinas Resort, Dallas since December 15, 2022 after being acquired in a joint venture between Trinity Investments (“Trinity”) and Partners Group. The ongoing $55 million transformation is expected to continue in various parts of the property through May 2024.
“We are delighted to have spearheaded the revival of such an iconic property, not only for Texas but also for travelers worldwide,” says Greg Dickhens, Managing Partner at Trinity. “The proximity and accessibility of a resort of this caliber make it a unique opportunity for luxury leisure and business travelers alike, and we look forward to seeing The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas positioned alongside the country’s top destinations.”
Led by renowned design firms Jeffrey Beers International and Leo A Daly, the current renovations to the storied property include a new lobby bar, Bar Juniper, focusing on clear spirits and thoughtfully designed with feminine touches inspired by indigenous Texas vegetation; 427 updated guest rooms with elements designed to evoke the free spirit and lifestyle of the resort’s history as the former Little Ranch on the Hills; and refreshed meeting space and state-of-the-art ballroom facilities spanning 80,000 square feet.
“The Ritz-Carlton Dallas, Las Colinas is a highly anticipated addition to the brand,” says Jamie Kerr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader at The Ritz-Carlton. “The property presents a distinctive opportunity to savor Texas' natural landscape while indulging in luxurious accommodations, all while maintaining access to the city—a unique offering that we are delighted to provide our guests.”
Property enhancements still to come include a March 2024 opening of Knife Italian, the newest restaurant concept from Michelin-starred chef John Tesar that captures the Italian heritage ingrained in Texas; the unique Campo Coffee & Provisions concept providing a European-inspired, locally roasted espresso program along with a sommelier-curated selection of wines; the transformation of the 14,000-square-foot on-site salon and spa into The Ritz-Carlton Spa®; and a fully reimagined resort pool including luxury cabanas, additional seating and a new poolside bar.
Additionally, The Ritz-Carlton Club® located on the second floor is expected to open in February 2024 and will allow guests looking for a highly personalized experience to enjoy modern Texas luxury in a distinctly immersive way. Among those unique offerings are five daily culinary presentations profiling the quintessential flavors of Texas and invite-only cultural experiences and events.
“Now having two Ritz-Carlton properties in the Dallas area allows us to meet the needs and expectations of even more of our valued guests, from those looking for a luxury metropolitan environment in downtown Dallas to those desiring an elevated escape with distinct personality in the Las Colinas hills,” says Carla Murray, President, U.S. Western Region, Full Service MxM Hotels at Marriott International, Inc.
