The Ritz-Carlton has announced a bold, unexpected collaboration, unveiling its inaugural capsule collection alongside Madrid’s hottest menswear label, Late Checkout. This exclusive drop titled Late Checkout: A Ritz-Carlton Story features nine meticulously curated pieces that redefine everyday luxury—elevating wardrobe essentials with a dash of irreverence and playful sophistication.
Fusing Late Checkout’s signature hotel-inspired aesthetic with The Ritz-Carlton’s iconic lion and crest, the collection is a stylized study in modern design. Rendered in luxe materials, bold graphics and sartorial cuts, the styles seamlessly unite to celebrate the effortless elegance that defines The Ritz-Carlton experience.
Supporting the collection is a campaign film directed by Rogelio and produced by Little Spain, featuring award-winning actor Josh Hutcherson, adding a flair that brings the collection to life. With a narrative that mirrors the collection’s playful yet polished vibe, the film is a journey into the collection’s unique universe.
“The launch of The Ritz-Carlton’s capsule collection with Late Checkout is an exciting intersection of our brand’s dedication to service and innovation with a label that challenges classicism in fashion,” said Jamie Kerr, vice president and global brand leader of The Ritz-Carlton. “The juxtaposition of our timeless elegance with Late Checkout’s modern, playful aesthetic creates a unique synergy. It allows us to offer both loyal and new guests a fresh, wearable expression of The Ritz-Carlton experience, while staying true to the craftsmanship and creativity that define our brand globally.”
“When we were first approached by The Ritz-Carlton team, we were really amazed and thought it made perfect sense for our first collaboration ever,” said Alex Turrion, creative director of Late Checkout. “During our initial years, we focused on cementing our narrative and ensuring everyone understood what we wanted to communicate with our collections and campaigns. As a brand whose whole aesthetic revolves around hotels, collaborating with The Ritz-Carlton and being able to add our unique vision and narrative is a dream come true and a full-circle moment for us. Throughout the campaign video, the idea of ‘leaving better than how you came’ is shared, which is something we both embrace. We just want your day to be a bit better by wearing our clothes!”
The Late Checkout: A Ritz-Carlton Story capsule is now available to shop at The Ritz-Carlton Shops along with a curated retail experience at The Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island starting on October 19.
