The latest: Photos and renderings of the hotel's accommodations, amenities, food and drink offerings showcase luxurious details and spectacular mountain views.

Zoom in: Unsurprisingly, the hotel revolves around high-end culinary experiences.

  • Le Âme: A Parisian steakhouse with traditional French fare.
  • Pink Dolphin: A poolside Mexican and Peruvian restaurant promising "the best margaritas."
  • théa: A rooftop Mediterranean restaurant with shared plates and curated cocktails.

What's next: The Global Ambassador is scheduled to open in mid-November. Reservations will open in mid-October, starting at $650 per night.
