Ritz-Carlton heads for St. Lucia

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C. is building on its presence in the Caribbean  with plans to open The Ritz-Carlton, St. Lucia, and The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Lucia, an exclusive 275-room oceanfront resort and residential retreat situated on Half Moon Bay, near Laborie, St. Lucia. All rooms will have ocean views and guests will benefit from a tranquil, protected bay at Half Moon Bay with spectacular views of St. Lucia’s Piton volcanoes. But you’re going to have to be patient… the resort isn’t expected to be ready until 2009.
