RockResorts History
The RockResorts brand was created in 1956 by Laurance Rockefeller, a legendary conservationist who was committed to developing luxury resort hotels in spectacular natural environments. The resorts formerly branded under the RockResorts identity include Caneel Bay on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands; Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands; The Lodge at Koele, Manele Bay, on the Hawaiian island of Lanai; The Mauna Kea on Hawaii's Big Island; Kapalua Bay Hotel on Maui; The Hyatt Dorado Beach, Cerromar Beach, in Puerto Rico; and The Woodstock Inn in Vermont. In addition, Grand Teton Lodge Company in Wyoming was part of the original RockResorts brand and still is today.

The Rockefeller family sold the brand to CSX Corp. in 1986. CSX subsequently sold the brand to VMS Realty in 1989. The properties were sold off and the brand remained dormant until its purchase by Olympus Hospitality in 1999. Olympus then rebuilt the brand with five resort hotels: Cheeca Lodge & Spa, The Equinox Resort & Spa, La Posada de Santa Fe, Rosario Resort & Spa and Casa Madrona Hotel & Spa. After Vail Resorts acquired a majority interest in RockResorts in December 2001, additional luxury properties were added to the brand, including The Lodge at Vail, Snake River Lodge & Spa, The Pines Lodge, Keystone Lodge, The Lodge at Rancho Mirage and The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera.
