BAL HARBOUR, Fla. — The Ritz-Carlton, Bal Harbour, a luxury hotel popular with New York’s Jewish community, will close for a major renovation on or about April 6, forcing more than 100 employees into temporary layoffs.

The hotel at 10295 Collins Avenue plans to remain closed for at least seven months. A Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification letter filed with the Florida Department of Commerce on Feb. 5 said 108 employees will be affected during the renovation period.

The affected positions span multiple departments, including food and beverage, housekeeping, guest services, engineering, security, and administrative roles. Job titles listed in the filing include chefs and cooks, concierge staff, bartenders, engineers, loss prevention officers, utility cleaners, and several management and supervisory roles.

Stephen Power, area general manager for Enclosure at The Ritz-Carlton, Bal Harbour, wrote in the notice that employees are expected to be recalled once renovations are complete, though the timeline could change depending on business conditions. The notice also said affected employees do not have bumping rights, meaning they cannot displace other workers to retain employment during the temporary layoff, and encouraged staff to apply for other positions within the company.
