A Tribute to Florida’s Natural Beauty
The hotel’s design pays tribute to the natural beauty of Florida through its thoughtful selection of materials, textures, and local art. From the moment guests arrive, they are welcomed by a design that tells the story of Florida’s landscapes, from the Everglades to the beachside.

This theme is reflected throughout the hotel, guiding guests through a journey from land to shore, with every detail thoughtfully curated to foster connection and interaction.
The use of organic materials, such as warm woods, water-inspired motifs, and lush greenery, creates a calming and inviting environment.
