Caneel Bay, A Rosewood Resort

Caneel Bay, A Rosewood Resort guarantees memories to last a lifetime for corporate retreats and incentives. Founded in 1956 by Laurance S. Rockefeller, the Caribbean’s legendary eco-resort offers seven pristine beaches and 166 accommodations strewn over 170 acres of St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Caneel Bay caters to an elite patronage with a decided lack of glitz. Its guests luxuriate in the understated decor, discreet service, and lack of phones and TVs in the rooms. Top activities include exploring the surrounding Virgin Islands National Park (more than half the island) and world-class snorkeling and diving.

Caneel Bay does offer a modern business center—plus the Turtle Bay House for groups of up to 80, the Wine Room for board meetings, presentation technology, custom catering, and countless outdoor venues, including the ruins of a romantic sugar mill. There are no packages available at this time. There are no hot dates at this time. Posted Mar 2, 2009 by Elite News Team
Subscribe - RSS Feed DALLAS - The annual ForbesTraveler 400 list which ranks the best luxury hotels and resorts in the world has just named San Ysidro Ranch, A Rosewood Resort in Montecito, California, as "America's Best Hotel." Visionary hotel owner Ty Warner purchased San Ysidro Ranch in 2000, who subsequently invested $150 million in an ambitious three year restoration to perfect an already outstanding property.

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts is thrilled to announce that a total of ten out of an eligible 14 properties from their esteemed collection were included on the ForbesTraveler 400 list. The list was compiled by a board of elite luxury travelers including Peter Greenberg, Todd English and Arianna Huffington, as well as top travel professionals like Matthew Upchurch of Virtuoso, Ltd. and Benson Cowan from Butterfield & Robinson. The Rosewood properties that were recognized as among the "Best in the World" include: The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel; Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek; Inn of the Anasazi, A Rosewood Hotel; Jumby Bay, A Rosewood Resort; Rosewood Little Dix Bay; Caneel Bay, A Rosewood Resort; Las Ventanas al Paraso, A Rosewood Resort. The Mansion on Peachtree, A Rosewood Hotel earned recognition as among the "World's 50 Best New Hotels."

ForbesTraveler praised these properties for their unparalleled service, a trademark of the Rosewood collection. The panel also recognized each one for their embodiment of their local culture. ForbesTraveler awarded San Ysidro Ranch with top honors by saying, "there's a particular charm to staying on a property with a long history that speaks to a region's character. And in the United States, there's no finer example than San Ysidro Ranch." The Carlyle is lauded as an "unabashedly Upper East Side establishment on Manhattan's Madison Avenue in perfect proximity to Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum and the shops of Madison and Fifth Avenues," while they explain that Inn of the Anasazi appears to be "the handiwork of a Pueblo tribe from the last century." This praise is a reflection of Rosewood's guiding philosophy, A Sense of Place which bestows each property with one-of-a-kind ambiance and style. Whether located in the heart of one of the world's great cities or in the splendid isolation of a tropical isle, each is designed to enhance every aspect of a guest's experience, by reflecting the location's culture, history and geography.

"We heartily congratulate all the Rosewood properties recognized," said Bob Boulogne, Chief Operating Officer of Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. "Their inclusion on the ForbesTraveler 400 list recognizes all of the hard work, ingenuity and care they have put towards ensuring that guests have memorable stays."
