Two Roads Hospitality Signs First Alila Resort in North America

Singapore-based Alila Hotels and Resorts, part of Two Roads Hospitality, will open its first North American resort property in California’s fabled Big Sur in October 2017.

Following a multimillion-dollar revitalization, The Ventana Big Sur, an Alila Resort, will feature 59 refreshed guest rooms, suites and villas, a full-service Spa Alila, two enhanced outdoor pools with a new infinity-edge hot tub and outdoor Japanese hot baths.

Ventana’s resort-wide enhancements will also include a new Social House with three unique lifestyle spaces for relaxing and connecting; the new 7,000-square-foot Ocean Meadow Lawn for events and celebrations; a new Glass House Gallery; a new Alila Experience Program featuring discovery-based guest activities; and the debut of a luxury camping experience — Redwood Canyon Glampsites — in the resort’s 20-acre redwood-canopied forest.

Additionally, The Sur House restaurant, which will have a new concept and an expanded ocean-view patio, will offer views of the Pacific Ocean.

“The introduction of Alila Hotels and Resorts to the North American market is a significant milestone in Two Roads’ international growth strategy,” said Jamie Sabatier, Chief Executive Officer of Two Roads Hospitality. “As a company that is long synonymous with opening resorts in spectacular, bucket-list destinations, it couldn’t be more fitting that Alila’s U.S. debut will be along the iconic Big Sur coastline. This opening will strengthen the global footprint of the brand and further cement its position as a luxury leader in the boutique and lifestyle sector.”

Complimentary activities at the resort will include daily guided walks through the serene landscape, yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates classes and nightly wine tastings and cheese pairings. An on-site experience coordinator will also be available to arrange further adventures.

“Since the Post family settled in Big Sur at the end of the 19th century, Big Sur has represented the confluence of ocean, forest, mindfulness and artistry un-paralleled anywhere else in the world. I couldn’t be more excited for the opening of Ventana Big Sur to once again bring travelers back to this special part of the world,” said John Pritzker, co-chairman of Two Roads Hospitality and founding partner and director of Geolo Capital. “We look forward to shining a bright light on the new Ventana Big Sur experience that celebrates the mystic beauty of Big Sur.”
