The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. and developer Louis R. Cappelli today announced plans to open a 123-room luxury hotel with more than 400 private condominiums in downtown White Plains, New York. The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester and The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester are an integral part of a $400 million project currently under construction at the intersection of Main Street and Mamaroneck Avenue.
Housed within two 40-story towers, the hotel and residences will be a landmark structure, designed by the architectural firm of Costas Kondylis and Partners of New York City, with interiors by renowned designer, Frank Nicholson. The two soaring towers will rise from the 10-level hotel podium, with stories 11-40 containing The Residences. The expected opening date of the first tower, with 175 residences and 32 condominium-hotel units is early 2008.
The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester will be a major component of the 940,000 square foot Renaissance Square complex being developed by Cappelli. The hotel's defining features will include a 10,000 square foot spa and fitness center, two fine dining restaurants, and 10,000 square feet of meeting and special event space. One of the restaurants will offer spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, Long Island Sound, and the Hudson Valley from its location 400 feet above the ground atop one of the towers.
"I believe Westchester County is an important location to enhance the portfolio of The
Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company," said Simon F. Cooper, president and chief operating officer. Many Fortune 500 companies have a presence in the region, and it is a very attractive place to live for affluent consumers who enjoy the proximity to Manhattan in an exclusive suburban setting," he added. Owners of The Residences will be able to access a range of services and amenities from The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester including housekeeping, in-home catering and dining, concierge and valet.
"We spent a great deal of time evaluating the options for this site. The Ritz-Carlton brand truly stands alone. It is associated worldwide with the finest reputation for luxury hotels and residences," said Louis R. Cappelli. The five star-calibre lifestyle, level of design, amenities and services we will offer hotel guests and condominium owners is unprecedented in any Manhattan suburb."
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. of Chevy Chase, Md., (USA) currently operates 61 hotels in the Americas, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Over 20 projects are under development around the globe with hotel openings planned for Moscow, Ireland, and two in Beijing over the next year. The Ritz-Carlton is the only service company to have twice earned the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, which recognizes outstanding customer service.
