Tunisia is the smallest country in North Africa, but that has not stopped Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company from opening its first hotel there. The Ritz-Carlton Tunis, Carthage is located in Carthage-Sidi Bou Said, a suburb of Tunisia’s capital city Tunis and is set to open its doors in the last quarter of 2014. The hotel with 129-suites will also spread out to accommodate seven food and beverage outlets, an expansive ballroom, and a destination spa. It is situated on the Mediterranean Sea, offering an exclusive beachfront setting next to the Presidential Palace. Carthage’s ancient ruins and heritage sites are also closely located.
