The design enhancements by Holly Kappes of Atlanta-based Design Continuum, continue with the hotel's original design inspiration of nearby historic landmark, Villa Vizcaya, and include modern touches such as new, larger flat panel televisions in every guestroom and suite.

A custom fleur-de-lis carpet pattern flows through the corridors in an undulating, bold scale.
