In a move set to elevate Grand Cayman’s profile on the world stage, the landmark development ONE | GT has officially joined the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World™ (SLH) collection.

This exclusive affiliation places ONE | GT among a curated network of over 620 independent boutique properties across more than 90 countries, further enhancing Cayman’s global luxury hospitality footprint. Through SLH’s strategic partnership with Hilton, the hotel is positioned to benefit from visibility across Hilton’s global booking platforms upon opening — which reach over 180 million Hilton Honors members.

The announcement was made at an exclusive event hosted by the ONE | GT development team IRG, in collaboration with regional banking partner CIBC. Attended by homeowners, investors, and key stakeholders, the event highlighted several major milestones for the project as it accelerates toward its late 2025 completion and final residential sales phase.

“Joining SLH and, by extension, Hilton’s global ecosystem is a major milestone, not just for ONE | GT, but for the Cayman Islands as a whole,” said Jeremy Hurst, IRG’s President and ONE|GT developer. “This affiliation offers unparalleled global visibility, aligns our project with the world’s most discerning travelers, and continues to drive momentum within Cayman’s tourism market.”

The hotel, managed by Remington Hospitality, will benefit from the operational strength of a group that manages over 135 hotels across the United States and Caribbean, including notable luxury boutique properties such as The Joule in Dallas, Hotel Yountville in Napa Valley, and The Saint and La Concha in Key West. The ONE | GT hotel is scheduled to open in late 2025, with the residential suites and
apartments ready for occupancy ahead of then.

Alongside the SLH and Remington announcements, IRG introduced a set of exclusive purchase incentives designed to build excitement and spur momentum in the final sales phase including a developer stamp duty payment initiative, and personalised buyer-financing packages in partnership with CIBC. The developer also unveiled the exclusive parking space ownership program, and a wider update on the amenities within the development such as its two pools, on site café and the three signature restaurants.

"We are proud to have supported ONE | GT from the ground up—first by providing its construction funding, and now by offering buyers a compelling suite of financing options,” said Gemel Sobers, CIBC Country Head. “This includes special variable and 2,3 5yr fixed-rate mortgages, up to 95% financing, and additional incentives such as covering the first three payments with no interest or principal due. CIBC’s personalised and innovative approach to lending aligns perfectly with ONE | GT, Cayman’s newest boutique luxury hotel and residences.

The event marks a pivotal point in the development’s journey, reinforcing its identity as a dual-purpose destination: an elevated residential address and a globally recognised hospitality offering.

Owners of ONE | GT may be able to qualify for the Cayman Islands Residency-By-Investment Program.

The Cayman Islands boast modern infrastructure, low crime rate, excellent healthcare and education facilities, and sound judiciary and pro-business environment, all of which contribute to making the Cayman Islands a vibrant place to live. A full-time population of approximately 78,000 residents comprises more than 130 nationalities.

Benefits of the Cayman Islands Residency-By-Investment Program

Alongside enjoying the stunning vistas, world famous beaches and 365 days of sunshine there are so many more benefits to living in the Cayman Islands.

You can expect:

• Lower taxation, the Cayman Islands is a tax neutral territory. 
• High quality health care & education 
• Easy access to international cities 
• Stable currency and a buoyant, diverse economy
• A safe, civilised, well-run society with stable government and a balanced budget
• Opportunities to invest in real estate and other businesses

Residency through property ownership offers other practical benefits:

• Ease of entry into the islands including shorter waits at the airport using the special “Residents” immigration queue line.
• No need to extend your stay with inconvenient trips to the immigration department to get your passport stamped
• Equivalent benefits for your spouse and dependents (under the age of 18)

However, Certificate holders may apply to the Caymanian Status & Permanent Residency Board or the Chief Immigration Officer for a variation of the Certificate to allow the right to work in the Cayman Islands.

Some 1,700 cubic yards of concrete were cast in December and a further 1,500-2,000 cubic yards will have been poured this month as we see the completion of the foundation raft slab and construction of the basement walls and columns well underway, bringing the development one step closer to going vertical.

Further progress is being made with regards to the surrounding infrastructure. The ONE|GT development team has been working closely with the local utility providers to implement the rerouting of overhead services underground, making for a more aesthetically pleasing environment with the added safety of the utilities being protected in underground conduits in the event of storm force winds.

The Cayman Islands has now removed all Covid-19 travel restrictions!

Starting today, travelers will no longer need to show proof of vaccination, a negative test, or a travel declaration/ request in order to enter the Cayman Islands. All vaccinated and unvaccinated travellers are permitted to enter the Cayman Islands without the need of extra documentation or health-related steps due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After 2.5 years of covid related restrictions, the Cayman Islands is satisfied that they can safely open the borders entirely and remove all limitations to travel into the country. This decision was aided by the fact that more than 92% of persons over the age of 5 years old have received at least two doses of the vaccine, according to the Cayman Islands Government.

This will undoubtedly result in a very positive high season for both the tourism and real estate industry.

Welcome back ALL visitors of the Cayman Islands!
