Hotel Revolution

Revolution LLC, Created by AOL Co-founder Steve Case, Building a One&Only
Resort and Tom Doak 18-hole golf course at Cacique on the
Northwest Coast of Guanacaste, Costa Rica
SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA, August 3, 2007 – Revolution LLC, the company created by AOL co-founder Steve Case, today launched Revolution Places, an original approach to sustainable destination resort communities. In support of the launch, Costa Rican President Óscar Arias Sánchez and Revolution Chairman Steve Case jointly announced at a press conference today in Costa Rica the first development, Cacique, Costa Rica, a first-of-its-kind 650-acre luxury resort community scheduled to open in 2010.

Revolution Places will bring together premiere hospitality partners and innovative lifestyle brands to develop a new authentic vacation experience that retains the local environment and culture. With a full complement of sustainability principles and community involvement, Revolution Places will create high-end developments that provide consumers with treasured and limited for-sale vacation real estate. These developments will also feature personalized service and unique amenities for home owners.

“Revolution Places is an entirely new approach to destination resort development,” said Steve Case, chairman & CEO of Revolution LLC. “We are bringing together the best of the best to deliver an ownership and guest experience like no other resort in the world. Importantly, we will preserve the local environment and culture when developing resorts like Cacique, Costa Rica to ensure our presence is a positive and welcome contribution.”

“I am extremely pleased to welcome Steve Case and Revolution to Costa Rica. I am confident that Mr. Case, like other investors and visitors we have been fortunate to host, will find in our country a place where education and hard work are valued,” said President Arias. “With this solid foundation, our economy is growing beyond traditional strengths such as agriculture and tourism to encompass an increasingly diverse array of industries and exports; our country is home to both peace and progress. Furthermore, I recently announced a new initiative, Peace with Nature, which seeks to make our country carbon-neutral by the year 2021. This will ensure that our proud tradition of environmental stewardship grows ever stronger.”

Revolution Places is led by a world-class management team that has built exceptional, leading companies. Donn Davis has been named CEO of Revolution Places Group, in addition to his role as executive chairman of Exclusive Resorts, also a Revolution LLC company. Philippe Bourguignon has been named vice chairman of Revolution Places Group and CEO of its development group, Revolution Places Development.

Davis will continue to serve as executive chairman of Exclusive Resorts, a company he has built into the leading luxury destination club and, in doing so, defined an entirely new luxury industry. Bourguignon is a recognized international business leader, having served as co-CEO of the Davos-based World Economic Forum, chairman and CEO of Club Mediterranee, and chairman and CEO of Euro Disney.

Cacique–Costa Rica

The first major destination under development by Revolution Places is Cacique, Costa Rica. The new luxury resort community located on the northwest coast of Guanacaste, Costa Rica spans 650-acres owned by Revolution Places. The $800 million resort development will also feature multiple, synergistic luxury real estate products to open in successive phases beginning in 2010.

“After searching the hemisphere, we have selected Cacique, Costa Rica as the ideal location for our first Revolution Places resort community,” said Bourguignon. “We are creating an environment that departs from the gated and manicured environment of conventional developments. Cacique, Costa Rica preserves the essence of the local culture and natural beauty, while offering luxury and wellness. This is a place where people are not only guests, but participants in a uniquely authentic experience.”

The development of Cacique, Costa Rica will feature highest-end services and amenities with a focus on intelligent, environmentally friendly designs that reduce energy and water demand and take advantage of spatial, wind and solar patterns to maximize natural ventilation, shade and daylight. Cacique, Costa Rica will establish a comprehensive recycling and solid waste management program to neutralize the impact of this development on the surrounding environment. Additionally, Cacique will create on-site treatment facilities to re-use wastewater and will purchase its electrical power for the community from renewable sources. World-class architecture and design will be integrated with indigenous traditions, environment and materials, to create an experience that is second-to-none and authentically Costa Rican.

“Costa Rica reminds me of Hawaii when I was born there nearly 50 years ago,” said Case. “We are aiming to take the things that make authentic Hawaii so special, such as the connections to the local people, restaurants, shops and the spirit of aloha, while bringing together the best brands and applying the best principles and practices of today. Our goal is to break new ground as we strive to make Cacique, Costa Rica the best resort in the world – and a model for a new kind of resort for the next generation.”

Cacique, Costa Rica seamlessly brings together world-class brands to provide owners and guests with a broad range of experiences, services, amenities, and activities to suit their every desire. Cacique, Costa Rica will integrate the following prestigious brands:

Doing Well While Doing Good

Revolution Places understands that the success of its developments is contingent on the well-being of the local community and the environment. To this end, Revolution Places today announced that it is investing in a series of local Costa Rican community initiatives that initially include:

* The donation of 1 million trees to the government-chartered Foundation for the Balance between Conservation and Development
* The donation of hydro-geological studies of the Panama aquifer and watershed
* The donation of computer learning centers to the towns of Filadelfia, Hermosa, Panama and Sardinal
* A $1 million investment to encourage and support the development of local non-profit efforts. Modeled after The Case Foundation’s Make it Your Own Awards, Revolution Places will make grants of up to $35,000 to individuals and local organizations that develop initiatives to improve and protect the Costa Rican environment. A panel of judges from the region will be responsible for selecting those who receive the grants. Full details of this program will be revealed in the summer of 2008

With Cacique, Costa Rica the development and operations of the community is expected to create more than 2,000 new local jobs. These jobs will range from construction and maintenance to guest services and managerial roles. In addition, the company expects to partner with local businesses as Cacique, Costa Rica is developed and will maximize purchasing of locally produced goods and services for construction and operations.







Ritz Carlton Costa Rica

Grupo hará complejo turístico de $250 millones en playa Guacamaya
Obras incluyen hotel Ritz-Carlton de 150 habitaciones y 800 residencias
Filial inmobiliaria de casa de subastas londinense Christie’s impulsa proyecto

Juan Fernando Lara S.

La empresa Plantación Properties invertirá $250 millones en un complejo turístico en playa Guacamaya, en el distrito de Sardinal de Carrillo, Guanacaste.

Tina Carman, directora del proyecto denominado Guacamaya Development, detalló que las obras incluirán un hotel de la cadena Ritz-Carlton, de 150 habitaciones, y varias zonas de residencias en 900 hectáreas.

Carman agregó que las obras se iniciarán el próximo año y estas incluirán 800 residencias en zonas con énfasis temáticos (playa, ecuestre, vegetación), campo de golf, spa y una marina con 220 slips –áreas para acomodar yates–.

Plantación Properties es subsidiaria de la firma Christie’s Great Estates, división inmobiliaria de la casa de subastas de arte mas antigua del mundo: Christie’s International, con sede en Londres.

Por su parte, Ritz-Carlton es una de las cadenas hoteleras más lujosas del planeta con 63 propiedades en 21 países.

La franquicia de hoteles la maneja la compañía Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company LLC, filial del grupo Marriott International.

En el 2010. Molly Harris, presidenta de Plantación Properties, dijo que la primera fase del Guacamaya Development finalizará en el 2010.

El anuncio del proyecto se realizó ayer en las oficinas de la empresa, localizadas en Escazú.

Al acto asistieron autoridades de Gobierno y, aunque el presidente Óscar Arias no asistió por razones de salud, sí envió un saludo por videoconferencia a los presentes.

Carman confirmó que el proyecto dispone de “viabilidad ambiental”, pero reconoció que algunos permisos –no precisó cuáles– “se encuentran en trámite”.

Diseño verde. Carman y Harris señalaron que su estrategia es adaptar la arquitectura del complejo a la naturaleza en la zona, de tal forma que el impacto ambiental sea el menor posible dado el interés del mercado al cual se dirigen, que busca destinos ricos en naturaleza.

“Queremos mucha interacción de la comunidad y los futuros residentes, poco uso de aire acondicionado y de circulación de vehículos”, dijo Harris.

La funcionaria enfatizó que la calidez de la población costarricense fue uno de los principales atractivos que influyó en la selección del país para hacer la inversión.

Carman dijo que la inversión total en el proyecto podría alcanzar los $900 millones durante un período de al menos 10 años.

La arquitectura del complejo la harán las firmas Joarisiti & Barascout, Avy Aviram y Katia Marte.

El ministro de Turismo, Carlos Ricardo Benavides, alabó el proyecto por ser el tipo de turismo de alto nivel que busca atraer el país.

Benavides dijo que el turista ligado a este tipo de desarrollo produce más ganancias y los proyectos se caracterizan por requerir menos utilización de recursos.

“Este anuncio, el cual es respaldado por Christie’s Great State y la cadena Ritz-Carlton, es una gran ventaja del país pues no todas las naciones pueden atraer este nivel de inversión”, destacó el ministro Benavides.

Regent Costa Rica

Cadena Regent construye millonario proyecto en Papagayo. Lujosa firma
hotelera anuncia llegada . Obra de $120 millones estaría en operación a
partir de 2009

La suntuosa firma de hoteles Regent invertirá $120 millones en Guanacaste
El nuevo complejo turístico estará entre playas Panamá y Hermosa, en Punta
Papagayo, y llevará este mismo nombre.
La obra se ubica en un terreno de 60 acres (243 mil metros cuadrados) y
prevé la construcción de 150 habitaciones con vista al mar, 90 condominios o
villas de dos y tres habitaciones, y 20 residencias.
Tendrá una zona de spa, área de piscinas y se construirá un pequeño pueblo a
la entrada con arquitectura propia de Guanacaste, donde funcionarán tiendas
y salas de eventos.

Se estima que el proyecto permita generar entre 600 y 700 empleos directos a
partir de 2009, cuando se prevé que comiencen las operaciones.

Para desarrollar el proyecto, Regent se alió a varios desarrolladores. El
principal socio será Kirchert Pakonen, empresa de bienes raíces domiciliada
en Minnesota, la cual ya tenía presencia en Costa Rica.

“Para la construcción hemos analizado cada detalle de lo que pasa en
Guanacaste, como la vegetación en época seca y lluviosa, sus colores, sus
formas. Construiremos edificios de no más de dos plantas”, dijo Ronald
Zurcher, representante de Zurcher Arquitectos.

Marck Conroy, presidente de Regent, agradeció las facilidades otorgadas por
el país para desarrollar la obra y explicó acerca de las operaciones de la
empresa a nivel mundial

Los hoteles de la cadena Regent son considerados entre los más lujosos del
mundo. Estudios internos indican que sus visitantes perciben ingresos de más
de $250 mil anuales, y se compone de personas de entre 32 y 55 años.

La obra en Costa Rica no será la excepción. Aunque se pretende mantener un
diseño arquitectónico acorde con el paisaje guanacasteco, el proyecto tendrá
todas las facilidades de un lugar de descanso moderno, con programas
especializados de entretenimiento, terapias de relajación y alta cocina
gourmet.

Tremendos proyectos! dentro de los hoteles mencionados, sorprende la gran cantidad y concentración de hoteles de ultra lujo : THE RITZ CARLTON, FOUR SEASONS, ST REGIS, ROSEWOOD, THE REGENT, MANDARIN ORIENTAL y JW MARRIOTT !! Wooow, CR será un destino a vencer! . . .

^^es verdad Costa Rica es una potencia turistica en america latina, tambien se rumora sobre un hotel trump, pero eso fue hace como 1 año y no se sabe nada, seguro es para cuando terminen el de Panama.
Costa Rica tiene la mayor concentración de hoteles de lujo en america central y entre los primeros en america latina, es un país de 4 millones de habitantes y 2 millones de turistas al año.
Como dato curioso papagayo iba a tener un desarrollo exclusivo de torre spero para mantener el equilibrio con la naturaleza se prohibio menos un una parte de costa de unos 200 mts y con un limite de 16 pisos

No hagan mucho caso de las Torres!

^^ Para el estilo de CR, creo que las Torres salen sobrando, además estas no necesariamente otorgan lujo ó éxito a un destino, en México tenemos a PUNTA MITA, un hermoso lugar que tiene una densidad máxima de 3 niveles!, pero es un lugar muy exitoso con hoteles super premium construidos o proyectados como : Four Seasons, St Regis, Amman, Mandarin Oriental, Capella, The Enchantment Resort, W, The Ritz Carlton, etc, asi como residencias de hasta 25 Millones de Dólares . . . o sea que la altura es buena, pero no esencial y menos para lugares ecológicos . . . asi que felicidades de nuevo ticos! :cheers:
