Seven months after extensive damage from Hurricane Ian forced The Ritz-Carlton Naples to close and layoff 591 employees, the hotel has announced it will reopen this summer and bring back most of those who lost their jobs.

The hotel company, in a statement that does not acknowledge the hurricane nor the damage it caused, says the renovated and expanded hotel will include the Vanderbilt Tower which will feature the Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge and more than 70 club-level guestrooms, a new lobby and three new restaurants.

It will also have a "reimagined outdoor spaces including new pools, bungalows and cabanas" along with an extensive redesign of all 474 rooms and suites, the company says in the statement.
