Pacific Reach and Dilawri Group have partnered to acquire The Ritz-Carlton luxury hotel in Toronto, Canada, for an undisclosed amount.

As co-owners, Pacific Reach will assume the role of asset manager and collaborate closely with Dilawri.

Marriott International will maintain the management of the hotel under The Ritz-Carlton brand to ensure uninterrupted service.

These improvements are designed to refine the Ritz-Carlton experience further, meeting and surpassing the expectations of both leisure and business travellers.

Dilawri co-founder Kap Dilawri said: “The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto is a true luxury landmark in the heart of downtown.

“We are proud to help steward this iconic property and remain committed to honouring its legacy while ensuring it continues to thrive as a cornerstone of Toronto’s luxury and hospitality landscape.
