Following a periodic review Range Developments announces the change of the Kempinski Group as manager and operator of Cabrits
Resort & Spa in Dominica to InterContinental Hotels & Resorts (IHG). The changeover will take place at the end of March 2023 by agreement with both operators.
No Dominican jobs at the resort will be affected by the switch, while all staff will be given training sessions by InterContinental to bring them up to speed with the company’s values and culture.
IHG® Hotels & Resorts is one of the world’s leading hotel companies, with 208 InterContinental properties employing about 325,000 people in 100 different countries. InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts was the world’s first international luxury travel hotel brand, pioneering new international destinations for decades. Each of its hotels is a destination in its own right with a distinctive style and ambiance, from historic buildings to city landmarks and immersive resorts in every corner of the globe.
“We are delighted to welcome InterContinental Hotels & Resorts to Dominica, which has established an unparalleled legacy in the luxury hospitality space,” said Mohammed Asaria, Managing Director and Board Member of Range Developments.
“InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa will offer experiences that suit play, adventure, and relaxation, and we look forward to extending our relationship with IHG to bring this stunning property to life. We acknowledge and appreciate the dedicated hard work and professionalism of all the Kempinski team who have contributed to the success of Cabrits Resort & Spa since its opening four years ago.”
The newly branded InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa will mark the brand’s third Caribbean resort hotel. Located along Douglas Bay on the island’s northwest side, the revitalized 151-room InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa will offer a unique and luxurious stay experience to travelers seeking to unwind, seclude and discover the island’s natural beauty.
The resort’s four outdoor pools, expansive spa, fitness center, and beach access support a relaxing tropical getaway, while its 8,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space and onsite business center accommodate corporate events and blended
travel. Additionally, four on-property restaurants and beach and swim-up pool bars provide refreshments for guests following a day exploring nearby Cabrits National Park or Dominica’s various hot springs, waterfalls, and canyons.
Beyond revamping InterContinental Dominica Cabrits Resort & Spa, Range Developments is also developing two IHG-branded resorts in Grenada – Six Senses La Sagesse (projected to open in Q4 2023) and InterContinental Resort La Sagesse (projected to open in Q4 2025). The hotel has transformed the economy of Portsmouth and surrounding areas, providing jobs to hundreds of people, and bringing thousands of tourists every year to this beautiful country.
