Taking advantage of Cayman Island’s prized Seven Mile Beach, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman epitomizes oceanfront luxury, connecting guests with the ocean throughout their stay with their thoughtfully designed, airy rooms, furnished in neutral upholstering to balance a crisp, color palette against the sparkling Caribbean Sea, and its beachfront offerings, including a glass bottom boat, and guided kayak tours.
Though the Ocean Front Guest Rooms are popular for every day stays, for those looking for a little, or perhaps a lot more, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman presents Seven South, floating above the Caribbean Sea. As the largest in the Caribbean, the 20,000-square-foot series of suites encompasses the top floor of the property’s Ocean Tower (this includes the 8,000-square-foot Grand Cayman penthouse). The 11-bedroom composition was designed in collaboration with Grand Cayman’s operation team and frequent guests; the resort crowdsourced their opinions on ultimate luxury. It’s here where guests recognize the sentiment of connectedness, not just through hotel-guest relations, but also through a guest’s connection to the Cayman Islands’ main features: the ocean, with unobstructed views of the tantalizing azure waters, and the local culture, through the property’s most recent collaboration with local artist, Shane Aquârt, informally known as Dready.
Marc Langevin, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman explains how the connectedness began with an original idea to outfit Seven South in the style of a luxury yacht. The thoughtful design boasts wooden walls, rounded rooms, and oversized windows to transform the living space with pops of turquoise enticing guests to leave the comforts of the suite—as it’s that comfortable it takes some convincing—to actually take a dip in the Caribbean Sea. Sliding doors open to a wrap-around patio of outdoor-indoor living dreams, fashioned with daybeds and linen pillows, tastefully potted plants and unbeatable views as far as the eye can see.

What room is your personal favorite?
Our Seven South penthouse. It has a level of elegance and sophistication that is so subtle plus I was involved in the development of the suite from its inception. I loved the process, it was designed and created in collaboration with our operations team so it has a lot more sentimental value for me because of that.

Any fun facts about the hotel or rooms?
