Nobu Hospitality and RCD Hotels recently teamed up to launch a Nobu-branded hotel, restaurant and residences in Tulum, Mexico. The launch will mark the 30th of its kind worldwide, and the sixth project to be completed by the collaboration.
“We are extremely proud to have achieved our 30th hotel milestone in just nine years and honored to share the vision of our hotel owning partners and thankful for the passion of our Nobu colleagues around the world,” Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality said. “Formidable partnerships at their heart need complete and mutual trust, alignment of values and a shared vision; through establishing strong and special relationships with key industry leaders and groups around the world our growth has been catapulted to 30 hotels.”
The new establishment will feature 200 guestrooms and suites, including 12 villas, a beachfront Nobu restaurant, meeting space and outdoor venues for events, a fitness center and spa, and 50 beachfront residences.
“It’s incredible to celebrate major milestones and it’s amazing to see the Nobu Hotels brand expand its multi-property footprint together with us in Mexico, the Caribbean and the U.S.,” President of RCD Hotels, Roberto Chapur, said. “Congratulations to everyone who helped get us here and we are confident that our relationship will continue to thrive for years to come. With our growing portfolio of luxury hotels and resorts, RCD is grateful for the support of our partners and patrons throughout the years and we are here today because of you.”
The new venture was inspired by Nobu and RCD’s attraction to Tulum’s “white sand beaches, coastal Mayan ruins and one of the world’s largest barrier reefs,” a recent press release explains. “One of these groups, RCD Hotels, was born out of the same family values and spirit of entrepreneurship as Nobu Hospitality, and today RCD has grown into a hotel-owning powerhouse including six Nobu Hotels Residences whilst maintaining their core values. It is a special privilege to be partnering with RCD again and on this exciting new project as the Nobu Hotel and Residences Tulum.”
