A Considered Future
for the Randwood Estate

The Ritz-Carlton name is recognized throughout the World, and this global recognition would elevate the Town’s profile within the international travel market and encourage new visitors who may not otherwise have considered Niagara-on-the-Lake and the Region as a whole, as a destination.

A Ritz-Carlton hotel would also generate meaningful economic benefits for the community, including:

• The creation of hundreds of construction jobs during development and significant long-term employment opportunities upon opening.
• Creating jobs for hundreds of graduates from both Niagara College and Brock University ensuring we keep our local talent here living and thriving at home;
• Increased spending at local restaurants, wineries, retailers, cultural attractions, golf courses, and tourism operators.
• Increase in a younger demographic living here in the Region that will have jobs resulting in communities that will continue to thrive and evolve;
• Growth in municipal property tax revenues that can help fund public infrastructure and community services.
• Increased overnight visitation, encouraging guests to spend more time exploring local businesses and attractions throughout the Town.
• Enhanced opportunities to attract meetings, executive retreats, weddings, and international events that support year-round tourism.
• Greater demand for local suppliers, artisans, farmers, and service providers, creating positive economic impacts across multiple sectors.
• Increasing support for all local theatres and continuing to raise awareness as a dynamic cultural hub attracting artists and patrons alike;

For local businesses, the benefits extend well beyond the hotel itself. Increased visitation from high-value traveler’s supports restaurants, cafés, galleries, theatres, transportation providers, tour operators, retail merchants, wineries, breweries, distilleries, and countless small businesses that form the backbone of the local economy.

Importantly, a Ritz-Carlton development represents more than simply another hotel. The brand is synonymous with exceptional service, architectural excellence, environmental stewardship, and high operating standards. Around the world, Ritz-Carlton properties frequently become destination landmarks that complement and enhance the communities in which they operate rather than compete with them.
