Private equity management group Z Capital Partners has unveiled plans to renovate private and event spaces at the Carillon Miami wellness Resort, with an aim to make it “the preeminent wellness hotel in the country.”

Hong Kong-based hotel designer Peter Silling has been retained to develop the design concept, and will work to create “warm and welcoming” design features, highlighting a balanced, natural environment.

Silling recently completed the CHF40m (US$40m, €36m, £28m) renovation of the Waldhaus Flims Alpine Grand Hotel & Spa in Switzerland – also owned by Z Capital Partners – which included adding in a new 2,800sq m (30,139sq ft) spa.

Hotelier Paul Nash has also been named managing director of Carillon Miami Wellness Resort, and will oversee the renovation.

Carillon Miami boasts a 65,000sq ft (6,039sq m) Clarins spa, extensive thermal experience and an integrative wellness centre. It recently added Wellness clinician Dr Adonis Maiquez to its staff.

“This is an exciting time at Carillon Miami as we continue transforming the property and firmly establishing it as a world-class wellness destination and luxury lifestyle community,” said James Zenni, chair of Carillon Miami’s board of directors and president and CEO of Z Capital Partners.

“Paul will also be a key player in executing our strategic vision of expanding the Z Capital hospitality portfolio. He brings deep industry knowledge, valuable operational expertise and extensive experience managing luxury lifestyle hotels and spas around the world.”

Nash most recently served as corporate director of operations at the Al Khozama Management Company in the Middle East; prior to that, he spent 17 years with Starwood.

Z Capital acquired both the Carillon and the Waldhaus Flims in 2015.
