The Ritz-Carlton and Late Checkout have launched Chapter Two of their successful collaboration, pushing the boundaries of luxury lifestyle. After a stunning first collection that won a Cannes Lions award, this new chapter deepens their partnership, adding kids’ wear, home essentials, and travel-ready accessories. The collection builds on The Ritz-Carlton’s legacy of timeless elegance while incorporating Late Checkout’s playful irreverence. Available at 22 Ritz-Carlton properties worldwide, the new collection is a sophisticated and whimsical take on modern luxury, inspired by the travel experience and hotel culture. It’s a must-have for those who appreciate both style and substance.

Chapter Two: A Bold Evolution of Style
The latest collaboration between The Ritz-Carlton and Late Checkout takes luxury to new heights. With the addition of kids’ wear and home essentials, the capsule collection now caters to every aspect of the luxury lifestyle. From featherlight knits adorned with The Ritz-Carlton’s iconic lion emblem to velvet Sukajan jackets, the designs walk the fine line between polished sophistication and playful irreverence. Navy, ivory, and light blue colour palettes pay homage to The Ritz-Carlton’s heritage while embracing Late Checkout’s playful spirit. This evolution reflects the growing diversity in modern travel, where luxury is not just about comfort but also about expressing individuality.

The New Collection: A Blend of Playful Luxury
This chapter introduces reimagined classics with a modern twist. Shawl-collar dressing gowns inspired by tuxedos, floor-grazing pajama sets in soft cotton, and the return of the cult-favourite baseball cap capture the essence of the collaboration. The new pieces mix timeless elegance with the cheeky charm that Late Checkout is known for. The collection also expands into home pieces like throws and umbrellas, each designed with the same offbeat charm. Every item in the collection tells a story—blending The Ritz-Carlton’s luxury with Late Checkout’s playful approach, making it perfect for luxury enthusiasts looking for something unique.

A Cinematic Campaign: The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko as the Backdrop
The campaign for the new collection is just as cinematic as the collection itself. Shot at The Ritz-Carlton, Nikko, surrounded by mountains, forests, and mirrored lakes, the film captures a surreal stay at the hotel. Directed by Rogelio González, the cinematic campaign focuses on the contrasts between timeless elegance and playful irreverence. Josh Hutcherson, once again the face of the campaign, brings a natural intimacy to the narrative. The stunning backdrop of Nikko enhances the visual appeal of the collection, creating a quiet intensity that balances The Ritz-Carlton’s elegance with Late Checkout’s mischievous edge. This film and photo campaign breathe life into the collection.
