Blue Diamond Resorts has announced it will transition to operate under the Royalton Hotels & Resorts name, consolidating its brand identity after 15 years in the all-inclusive hospitality sector.

The company cited the growth and recognition of its Royalton-branded properties across seven Caribbean destinations as the driving factor behind the consolidation. The rebrand affects the company's entire portfolio of 24 resorts while maintaining existing operations.

"This is more than a name change,” said Jordi Pelfort, president of Royalton Hotels & Resorts. “It is a strategic alignment of our brand portfolio that highlights the strength and recognition of Royalton.

The rebrand includes changes to subsidiary brands within the portfolio. The adults-only Hideaway at Royalton will become Royalton Hideaway, a Resort Within a Resort. Planet Hollywood Hotels & Resorts will operate as Planet Hollywood Hotels & Resorts by Royalton to strengthen its connection to the parent brand.

The company's portfolio spans eight distinct brands targeting different market segments. Royalton Luxury Resorts offers family-friendly accommodations, Royalton Hideaway provides adults-only experiences and the recently launched Royalton Vessence Resorts focuses on wellness travel.

Royalton Chic Resorts caters to the adults-only market with entertainment-focused experiences. The portfolio also includes Mystique by Royalton boutique properties and Grand Lido Negril in Jamaica, which serves guests 21 and over. Planet Hollywood Hotels & Resorts by Royalton operates entertainment-themed properties with celebrity memorabilia, alongside its adults-only Planet Hollywood Adult Scene locations.
