The Naples, Fla., property’s updates will be unveiled in the fall, including new guestrooms in the Gulf Tower, a redesigned lobby, and a new look for its Baleen restaurant. The current renovation is part of a property-wide refresh, as the resort recently completed a $60 million project in December 2016.
LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort in Naples, Fla., is undergoing an $8 million renovation that will be unveiled in fall 2017.
Inspired by the natural elements surrounding the resort, the transformation will include new guestrooms in the Gulf Tower, a redesigned lobby, and a new look for its signature restaurant, Baleen.
The lobby will reflect Naples’ abundant flora and fauna with custom artwork of hibiscus flowers and monstera leaves. New terrazzo flooring will be accented with furnishings throughout the lobby, including custom chandeliers, decoratively painted console tables, dramatic wicker lounge seating, sculptural floor lamps, accent tables, an Italian-crafted area rug, and outdoor accent seating.
Baleen will house a four-ft.-wide sculpture reminiscent of a whale bone designed by Barcelona artist Sophie-Elizabeth Thompson. The restaurant will also reveal new finishes of textural wicker, natural shell stone and cerused oak paneling. The Gulf Tower will have private balconies; new oversized, organic patterned area rugs; four poster beds with Floridian-patterned textiles; unique photography; and a canvas oil art collection. Bathrooms will introduce new backlit vanity mirrors and silver trimmings throughout.
The current renovation is part of a property-wide refresh, as the resort recently completed a $60-million renovation of the Beach House, resort beautification updates, new sustainability initiatives and the introduction of a gourmet coffee bar in December 2016.
