Ritz-Carlton Destination Club
Press Releases

Officially launched in April of 2009, The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club brought arguably the most recognizable brand name to the destination club sector in the industry's near ten year existence.

The new club would offer two different membership options, a fractional ownership offering called the Home Club Membership and a destination club offering branded as the Portfolio Membership. "Over the last decade of establishing a second home alternative for our current Ritz-Carlton Club Members, we developed intimate and rewarding, one-to-one relationships," said Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for The Ritz-Carlton Development Company, Peter Watzka. "With this commitment to deliver luxury vacation experiences, we evolved the brand to the new Ritz-Carlton Destination Club by blending the attributes of luxurious vacation homes with a heightened, flexibility while also maintaining the exclusivity our Members have come to expect."

This blending would combine elements of fractional ownership with the sense of wanderlust attached to destination club membership. Members would be deeded owners in a club property and use a points based system to reserve properties. The strong brand name and membership benefits immediately cemented The Ritz-Carlton Destination Club as one of the leading players in the still growing sector.
