Ritz-Carlton Lodge To Open In Blue Mountains After AU$50 Million Renovation
Emirates and Marriott International have signed an agreement to reopen the Wolgan Valley property in Australia’s Blue Mountains as the world’s first Ritz-Carlton Lodge. The 40-key all-inclusive lodge is scheduled to open by mid-2026 following a AU$50 million renovation. The project represents Emirates’ second major operator partnership for the site and marks a significant shift for the luxury resort. According to AeroTime, the reopening could create approximately 150 jobs in the Wolgan Valley community and increase opportunities for local suppliers.
