Last spring, the Phoenix Ritz-Carlton Hotel closed. It was rebranded the Camby Hotel when it reopened in December.

“Paradise Valley in Arizona will be a great new destination for our brand in the Americas,” Herve Humler, president and chief operating officer for the Ritz-Carlton, said in a statement.

The hotel will feature the longest pool on the continent, at 400 feet, according to the Phoenix Business Journal, and 200 casita-style rooms.

The site was expected to open in 2018.
