ORLANDO, FL, October 23, 2007. The warmth, beauty and charm of the South Pacific are reflected in the new room renovation underway at Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando, and scheduled for completion in mid-December. Guest rooms and suites are being renovated to create a look that is all-at-once fresh and inviting, but rooted in the romantic notion of travel that is celebrated throughout the AAA Four Diamond resort.

"Our design team was inspired to create an authentic South Pacific island experience," says Karen Daroff, president of Daroff Design, the company that designed the new room interiors. "The new guest rooms and corridor designs have been reinvigorated with a lush tropical color palette of pale aqua, lime, mango and melon for a distinctly charming look."

The hotel is also adding eight Jurassic Park-themed kid's suites. These popular suites, currently the only accommodations of their kind in the world, offer privacy for mom and dad, while the kids stay in a separate sleeping room that features custom Jurassic Park wall murals, artwork from the making of the movies and Jurassic Park-themed beds and furniture. A stay in one of these suites is the perfect way for guests to add to the adventures they enjoy at Universal Orlando's theme parks. Parents appreciate the added safety feature that only allows access from the children's room into the adult's room, and not into the hallway.

The $8.5 million room renovation includes luxurious duvets that hint at the allures of the islands, such as fresh flowers that are always in bloom and bamboo, one of the most renewable resources on the planet. The new design also features a bamboo ceiling border accent, and a metal, bamboo-patterned wall screen that visually separates the sleeping area from the bathroom. Sisal-style carpeting is combined with rattan and cane features for the headboards, night tables, and dresser casework. Custom Royal Pacific travel posters complete the island experience.

Technology upgrades include the addition of iHome clock radios, with iPod docking stations, in all rooms and suites. Loews Royal Pacific Resort is currently upgrading its internet access system and will offer wireless access from all guest rooms and suites by the end of 2007. The final phase of renovations will occur during the first quarter of 2008, when the hotel will invest another $1.5 million to add 32-inch flat panel televisions in all guest rooms and 42-inch or larger flat panel televisions in all suite parlors.

"Guests will find an entirely new and fresh feeling in our rooms and suites," says General Manager David Bartek. "The new rooms leave a unique imprint within our resort and kids will really love the adventure of staying in a Jurassic Park-themed suite."

The 1,000-room Loews Royal Pacific Resort opened in 2002 as the third on-site hotel at Universal Orlando. It has been honored by Travel & Leisure Family as one of the top family-friendly resorts in the country and also has been named among the best meeting facilities in the U.S. by Successful Meetings and Meetings & Conventions magazine. The world-class accommodations at Universal Orlando Resort also include the rock 'n' roll themed Hard Rock Hotel and the Italian-themed Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. All three on-site hotels are connected to each other and to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and CityWalk by a scenic waterway.
