This spring,\u00a0The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale<\/a>\u00a0will debut the\u00a0Gibson Guitar Experience, a resort-wide collaboration with iconic music brand\u00a0Gibson<\/a>, celebrating over 130 years. From April 10 through May 10, timed with\u00a0Tortuga Music Festival,<\/a>\u00a0the takeover transforms the oceanfront resort into an immersive sound-meets-the-sea escape.\u00a0 Select elements of the experience, including\u00a0Burlock Coast Seafare & Spirits,\u00a0The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Fort Lauderdale, and\u00a0Sea La Vie Sundeck, are open to both non-hotel guests and hotel visitors, while guests reserving Club Lounge accommodations can enjoy additional amenities.<\/p>\n

The collaboration supports\u00a0Gibson Gives<\/a>, the philanthropic division of Gibson supporting musicians worldwide, with proceeds from a custom-wrapped guitar benefiting the foundation.\u00a0 The one-of-a-kind guitar features artwork by digital artist\u00a0Kenneth Kudulis<\/a>, who will be available to meet guests on April 10 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. and April 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and provide print giveaways. \u00a0 A silent auction will be available all month long for the opportunity to take home the Gibson memorabilia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guests reserving Club Lounge will receive a Gibson x The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale guitar pick keepsake, and handcrafted dark chocolate guitar. The Club Lounge serves as the centerpiece featuring select Gibson guitars for guests to play, live music on select evenings; and culinary offerings inspired from Gibson\u2019s hometown of Nashville including\u00a0warm biscuits and jam, smoke-infused craft cocktails,\u00a0Goldtop Hot Gulf Shrimp\u00a0and\u00a0Appalachian Spoon Bread Dumplings.<\/p>\n

Evenings continue at Burlock Coast with\u00a0Smoke & Strings, a four-course tasting menu with cocktail pairings ($199pp++) featuring items such as\u00a0Southern Biscuits,\u00a0Roasted Local Beets, Country-Fried Fish, Whiskey-Bathed Cowboy Steak\u00a0and\u00a0Smoked S\u2019mores Tart;\u00a0accompanied by cocktails including\u00a0Rum Tide Punch\u00a0and\u00a0Tennessee Whiskey Wood Barrel Old Fashioned.<\/p>\n

At The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Fort Lauderdale, sound becomes a pathway to relaxation through the\u00a0Harmonic Heat Therapy\u00a0($380pp excluding gratuity), an 80-minute ritual combining infrared heat, sound immersion, and stress-relief massage.\u00a0 Outdoors, the experience extends to Sea La Vie Sundeck, where live music on select Saturdays pairs with elevated poolside service and Gibson-inspired cocktails.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with Gibson allows us to bring a new dimension to the resort experience through the universal language of music,\u201d said General Manager Jose Torres of The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale. \u201cBy pairing Gibson\u2019s legendary craftsmanship and sound with our oceanfront setting, culinary offerings and restorative spa offerings, we\u2019re creating a getaway that resonates well beyond the stay.\u201d<\/p>\n
