Palladium Hotel Group announces it has begun construction to expand Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts in Jamaica, Montego Bay, promoted by asset owner Grupo Empresas Matutes. The transformative $20 million project will add over 948 new rooms to the resort, which currently has a total of 1,049 rooms, distributed across two hotels: Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort & Spa and Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa.
The expansion will strengthen the brand’s presence in Jamaica, introducing the group’s TRS Hotels adults-only, luxury all-inclusive brand to the island, along with the Family Selection at Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts concept. The project will create an estimated 1,500 direct jobs, and another 2,000 indirect jobs in related sectors, once the resort is operational.
Palladium Hotel Group has been a key player in Jamaica’s hospitality sector since the opening of Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa and the Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton Resort & Spa in 2008. Located in Lucea, Hanover, these flagship properties have set the standard for all-inclusive luxury in the region. The group is now enhancing its presence through an additional $20 million investment to upgrade the property, expand the amenities provided, and implement sustainability features. With this new expansion, Palladium Hotel Group reaffirms its long-term commitment to Jamaica, further contributing to the island’s tourism development and economic prosperity.
As part of its expansion in Jamaica, Palladium Hotel Group will introduce TRS Hotels to the destination – a luxury adults-only, all-inclusive brand, available in the most desirable destinations in the Caribbean and Europe. The brand will offer sophisticated, modern experiences tailored for couples, newlyweds, and solo travellers. The expansion project will also introduce the club Family Selection at Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts, a VIP club that offers families exclusive amenities and personalised experiences. The VIP service will enhance their stay with dedicated spaces and premium services, currently available in Mexico and soon to open in the Dominican Republic.
Details of the expansion project were announced at a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday, February 18, 2025. The event was attended by Prime Minister Dr. The Most Honourable Andrew Holness, several Government ministers; other high-level government officials; Spanish Ambassador H.E. José María Fernández López; tourism and private sector stakeholders; as well as Vice-President of Grupo Empresas Matutes and President of Palladium Hotel Group, Abel Matutes.
