Jamaica is getting its first Ennismore hotels.

Global hospitality company Ennismore is making its debut in Jamaica.

In partnership with LCH Development Limited, Ennismore will introduce two of its brands across three new buildings in a large-scale project that includes both residential and hotel components.

Two of the buildings will be dedicated to branded luxury residences and private villas. The third will feature a 240-key hotel, marking the first branded Ennismore property on the island.

The development represents a new phase of high-end hospitality growth in Jamaica, as international hotel groups continue expanding their presence in the destination.

An opening timeline for the project has not yet been announced.

Ennismore is part of Accor and is known for a portfolio of lifestyle brands that includes names like SLS, Mondrian, and 25hours.

Ennismore is best known within the region for its SLS Playa Mujeres resort, which opened last year.
