Village Hospitality L.L.C. has selected Dolce Hotels and Resorts to rebrand and manage the former Ritz-Carlton Lake Las Vegas property, which closed in May. Dolce plans to open the new property in the first quarter of 2011. No name has been announced yet for the new venue.
Dolce is retaining many of the location's physical features, and making changes like a more contemporary lobby, an updated dining venue, and a new spa. The focus of the new restaurant will be on cuisine that is low-glycemic, fresh, and local. The restaurant design will allow guests to interact with chefs via an exhibition kitchen. Dolce will also feature full-service spa offerings and wellness initiatives for meetings and groups. Expect a rate structure in the range of $140 to $180 per night.
The 349-room resort sits on 15 acres of the master-planned Lake Las Vegas development, which features sweeping views, two resort-hotels, two marinas, residences, and a European-style village. It has Mediterranean architecture, with clay tile roofs and arched doorways. There is 32,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space and a 30,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, with multiple dining and lounge areas.
The resort can accommodate gatherings of as many as 1,000 attendees. Meeting space includes an 11,841-square-foot ballroom with 7,423 square feet of prefunction area, a 4,700-square-foot ballroom, and 10 function rooms that include two boardrooms. Technological amenities include electrical, lighting, and sound systems, soundproof air walls, and high-speed Internet access. Direct ballroom access is available for large vehicles and other oversize displays.
