In early 2001, The Athens Group completed construction of a 261-room
luxury Ritz-Carlton Resort in Half Moon Bay, California. Half
Moon Bay is a rural coastal community located 28 miles south of San
Francisco.
The resort lies 45 minutes from San Francisco, San Jose and
Silicon Valley and 30 minutes from San Francisco International Airport.
This
destination resort is the only golf resort in the San Francisco
Bay area. The hotel was awarded "Best New Hotel 2001" by the
prestigious American Academy of Hospitality Sciences. In 2002
and 2003 the hotel also received the prestigious 5 Diamond Award.
The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay is a spectacular oceanfront project
on 14.4 acres and features a 209-room main hotel lodge as well as three
Guest Houses containing an additional 52 hotel rooms and suites. The
main lodge also contains 17,000 square feet of meeting and function
space, including a 7,100-square foot ballroom. Food and beverage facilities
include Navio, a 140-seat signature restaurant, and The Conservatory,
a 70-seat lounge with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean. The Ritz-Carlton
Spa, a 15,000-square foot spa, is located on the lower level of the
main lodge, also overlooking the ocean. The hotel is situated between
the 18th holes of two oceanfront championship golf courses, the Links
Course designed by Arthur Hills & Associates and the Old Course
originally designed by Francis Duane and Arnold Palmer and recently
redesigned and renovated by Arthur Hills. Guests of The Ritz-Carlton have priority access to each of these golf courses.
The Half Moon Bay project, designed in the style of a traditional Northern
California coastal mansion, was developed in partnership with Vestar
Development Company and an investment fund sponsored by Lend Lease Real
Estate Investments, Inc. Because of the significant barriers to entry
in California, including coastal development barriers, The Ritz-Carlton,
Half Moon Bay is probably the last oceanfront destination resort to
be developed in Northern California.
