RITZ CARLTON GRAND CAYMAN
restaurants + lounges
Lead Interior Designer for a $2M+ renovation of multiple hospitality spaces at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, including Seven Restaurant, Taikun Sushi Bar, the Cigar Bar, Silver Palm Lounge, Club Lounge and Bar Jack. With a limited budget spanning multiple venues, the creative challenge was to transform and elevate the guest experience while retaining much of the existing architecture. Drawing inspiration from the tropical landscape, British Colonial and Caribbean influences, Ritz-Carlton’s signature luxury, and the individual character of each venue, I developed a distinct yet cohesive design approach across the property. Existing elements were thoughtfully reimagined through paint, upholstery, molding, wallcoverings and custom details, complemented by custom furniture, fixtures and finishes where they would have the greatest impact. As Lead Designer, I oversaw space planning, FF&E selection, construction documentation and project budgeting, carrying the design vision from concept through implementation.
