Key Biscayne Ritz getting facelift

Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne Reveals $100M Makeover

25 years after opening its doors, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami, is embarking on a transformational improvement plan totaling over $100 million. Following completion of the planned improvements, the property, which is owned by Gencom, is slated to reopen its doors in December 2025.

Located at 455 Grand Bay Drive, the 275,000-square-foot resort spans 17 acres on the barrier island of Key Biscayne. Rising 13 stories above the shoreline, the 420-key hotel features 600 feet of beach access. The upcoming transformation marks the first comprehensive renovation of this iconic property since its inception.

The renovation team includes design architect Hart Howerton, Design Agency and Chapi Chapo Design. Besides work on the exterior and rooms, the hotel will introduce a new signature restaurant.

Guests will enjoy also an upgraded experience across the swimming pools, fitness center, Club Lounge, and Cliff Drysdale Tennis Center, the largest tennis facilities of any Ritz-Carlton resort. The hotel also boasts 37,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space.
