Ritz-Carlton New Destination Club



Ritz-Carlton Destination Club

After 80 years and more than 70 hotels providing legendary service, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, raises the bar again with the unveiling of a new way to enjoy an inspiring vacation lifestyle: The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club.

An evolution of The Ritz-Carlton Club, this equity-based private membership program offers two choices -- either a Home Club Membership (identical to the successful fractional ownership offering) which provides use of a titled residence at a property they can return to throughout the year, or a deeded, Portfolio Membership which affords the opportunity to discover a wide variety of premier destinations and accommodations.

Portfolio Membership

Many of the most distinctive travelers want the freedom and flexibility to visit an array of the world's most beautiful and elegant destinations. If you count yourself in their number, Ritz-Carlton Portfolio Membership will be your natural choice.

Portfolio Members use The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club currency called "Club Points" to craft the kinds of escapes others only dream of. Ritz-Carlton Destination Club vacation homes are yours to choose from.

With Portfolio Membership in The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, you'll find destinations that are available on your dates of travel. As a Portfolio Member, you'll have access to the Ritz-Carlton destination Club online member reservation system, which makes finding and reserving your vacation home nearly effortless. This powerful tool gives you real-time destination availability information, while offering the elegant simplicity you expect from The Ritz-Carlton experience.

Ritz-Carlton Destinations

With Portfolio Membership in The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club, you own an interest in Ritz-Carlton Destination Clubs' select collection of unique luxury properties and gain access to dozens of The Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts. This collection includes Ritz-Carlton Club properties in Colorado, California, Hawaii, Florida, Bahamas and St. Thomas. In addition membership includes a usage plan for select Ritz-Carlton Hotels worldwide in twenty different countries. It's an entirely new way to experience renowned service and quality worldwide.

Membership Levels

Portfolio Memberships offer a beneficial interest in a trust where Members customize their vacations through a points-based currency. This annual allotment of currency is used to reserve accommodations based on travel dates and residence floor plan. Initial membership grants 5,000 Club points, but additional interests can be purchased in 2,500 point increments. Portfolio Membership pricing starts at $120,000 for 5,000 annual Club points.

The Portfolio Membership option allows the ultimate flexibility for the Member who prefers a different experience each time they travel. For example, a Member may decide to use a four-bedroom residence in Abaco, The Bahamas for a family celebration and use a one-bedroom in San Francisco for a romantic getaway. When choosing from the collection of residences, each is assigned a varying nightly point value. The new Hotel Exchange Program also enables Members who purchased a Portfolio Membership to utilize up to a 25% portion of their Club points at participating Ritz-Carlton hotels and resorts worldwide.
