Palace Resorts Introduces a New Luxury Brand: Le Blanc Spa Resort; First Property To Be Unveiled In Cancun In 2005

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 2004--Palace Resorts is proud to announce the launch of its new luxury hotel brand, Le Blanc Spa Resort, a new upscale all-inclusive adults-only property that will debut in Cancun in the winter 2005.

Le Blanc Spa Resort is not just a hotel; it's a destination, centered on the color white. All its interiors including walls, ceilings, and furniture are in white with a contemporary and minimalist decoration touched with primitive, tropical, and Mexican elements that create an exceptional exotic ambiance.

"Le Blanc Spa Resort reassures our commitment to the growth and strength of Mexico's travel industry. It is the answer to the demand of the growing upscale market in Cancun. Le Blanc will attract the sophisticated traveler seeking a luxurious, all-inclusive alternative that will revitalize their vacation experience and exceed their expectations," said Roberto Chapur, president of Palace Resorts.

Le Blanc Spa Resort, the former Hotel Sierra Cancun, was recently acquired by Palace Resorts. It closed on August 29 for a total reformation.

Le Blanc Spa Resort is located in the heart of Cancun's hotel zone, within walking distance to Cancun's exciting nightlife and attractions. The resort's renovations include the transformation of all guest rooms into suites with Jacuzzis, a state-of-the-art spa, meeting facilities, and three specialty restaurants. The renovations will be directed by Elias & Elias Arquitectos, one of the most celebrated architect and interior design firms in Mexico, known for the exquisite design of Hotel Grand Velas Puerto Vallarta, Casa Club de Golf Cabo del Sol, and Hotel Sheraton Los Cabos, among others.

Special features of Le Blanc Spa Resort include a private laguna (lake), which is connected to Cancun's ancient Mayan Nichupte Lagoon. Guests of the resort will enjoy private candle lit dinners under the stars on boat rides in the laguna. Guests will also be pampered with indulging spa services in private suites with views of the laguna. Also, at the Blanc Lounge, guests can relax to the sounds of relaxing music while enjoying a glass of their favorite liqueur in the Lounge's terraces.

Le Blanc Spa Resort is Palace Resorts' new upscale all-inclusive line premiering in the winter 2005. For information, please call 877-753-2526 in the United States and Canada. For group sales call 877-853-2526. Visit Le Blanc Spa Resort on the Internet at www.leblancsparesort.com.
