Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort, becomes newest addition to Ty Warner's unique collection of international destinations

Ty Warner Hotels & Resorts, LLC announced today the purchase of the acclaimed Las Ventanas al Paraíso Resort in Los Cabos , Mexico . Ty Warner purchased Las Ventanas from Dallas-based JTL Capital, LLC, with the seller being represented by Secured Capital and the buyer by Solid Rock Advisors. The Las Ventanas joins Ty Warner's distinctive collection of individually unique and upscale destinations including the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara , California and the Kona Village Resort on the Big Island of Hawaii.

According to Ty Warner, the goal as the new owner is to extend and enhance the incredible beauty and amenities that define Las Ventanas today.
