Dolce Hotels and Resorts has been appointed to rebrand and manage the former Ritz Carlton Lake Las Vegas hotel in Henderson, Nevada, US.

The hotel was closed in May 2010 due to low occupancy and Dolce aims to reopen the 349-bedroom property by April 2011.

Facilities at the hotel, which is owned by Village Hospitality, include a 30,000sq ft (2,800sq m) spa and wellness center; 32,000sq ft (2,990sq m) of conferencing space and a number of restaurants and bars.

Dolce Hotels and Resorts is majority-owned by Broadreach Capital Partners.

The luxury hotel first opened on 11 February 2003. It was owned by Village Hotel Investors who appointed Ritz Carlton as operator.

Due to the economic downturn, the resort ran into financial difficulties and was acquired by Village Hospitality – a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank's German American Capital Corp – in 2009 in a nonjudicial foreclosure sale.
