The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami reopened on 8 December 2025 after a $100 million transformation, according to the release Marriott issued that day. The release calls it the resort's first comprehensive renewal in nearly twenty-five years. Gencom led the project with the design studios Hart Howerton, DesignAgency and Chapi Chapo Design.
The resort stands at 455 Grand Bay Drive on seventeen acres of beachfront. The hotel page describes Key Biscayne as an exclusive five-mile-long barrier island, minutes from downtown Miami. Neither the release nor the page gives a room count. The Presidential Suite has two bedrooms and 2,620 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space, and a Club Lounge sits on the 9th floor.
The release names six beachfront dining and cocktail destinations. Luma serves modern Italian food, Paralía draws on Greek and Turkish tavernas under Executive Chef Renato Mekolli, and Rum Bar and Dune Beach Bar handle cocktails. The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Key Biscayne is a 30,000-square-foot space with 16 treatment rooms, three of them couples suites. The Cliff Drysdale Racquet Garden has 11 courts, including a padel court, and families get a new Ritz Kids Club.
“The Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami, the private Atlantic Ocean coastline escape located just minutes from the vibrant energy of Miami, officially reopens its doors today, debuting a striking $100 million transformation, ushering in a bold new era of seaside glamour, where modern coastal sophistication meets timeless elegance.”
