The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Beach Resort

With its longstanding Forbes Five Star and AAA Five Diamond Awards, The Ritz-Carlton, Naples ranks among the most coveted destinations in Florida. A Mediterranean-style design, grand lobby, and stunning views lend a palatial air to the property, which crowns three miles of golden sand on the Gulf of Mexico at Naples.

The 450 guest rooms provide everything discerning meeting planners expect of a Ritz-Carlton, from sophisticated furnishings to Frette linens and fully stocked refreshment bars. The same goes for the 20 meeting rooms, where large-scale receptions in The Ritz-Carlton, Vanderbilt, and Plaza Ballrooms appear just as easy to stage and elegant as small executive meetings in the Boardroom. Florida's fun-loving side comes through in themed events like Casino Royale and beach parties under the stars.

Delegates taking a break from business go parasailing, pedal boating, kayaking, windsurfing, and more at the beach. They visit the spa and fitness center and gather at two outdoor pools, at the tennis courts, and for meals and refreshments at seven innovative restaurants, bars, and lounges.

For golf-loving groups, the 36-hole Tiburón Golf Club waits just three miles away at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples. Accessible via complimentary shuttle, the beach property's esteemed sister resort adds another 295 guest rooms and 14 meeting rooms, including five breakout rooms with shaded terraces and sunlit views of the Greg Norman–designed greens and fairways.
