Several months ago, we had a first look at the newly redesigned rooms coming to Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and now Disney has given us a few photos of how all the teased elements will come together this year.
The rooms are just part of a full rework of the entire Hotel which will include a refreshed lobby, pool areas and the concierge-level Craftsman Club. The renovations will roll out in phases, with expected completion by the end of 2017. Guests will begin to enjoy the first phase of refreshed guest rooms starting this spring.
Here’s some details in to the upcoming changes:
Redesigned Guest Rooms
Every single element in the redesigned guest rooms will be new, creating a fresh sense of luxury – from floor and walls to furnishings, bedding and linens, as well as upgraded bathrooms. Upon entry, guests will notice beautiful hardwood flooring transitioning into soft, bright-toned carpeting. Linens and pillows are restyled in a bright, white palette and upgraded bathrooms include new fixtures.
The room decor is a contemporary take on the Arts & Crafts style featuring all-new furniture made of natural oak, specially designed for each room, as well as California-inspired artwork created by artists and Disney Imagineers, including beautiful headboard walls with wood inlay designs featuring Chip ‘n Dale climbing orange trees! Guests with sharp eyes will catch other uniquely Disney details throughout these newly enhanced rooms.
Other Enhancements
- Pools: The pools and surrounding areas have been redesigned with new hardscapes that reinforce the Arts and Crafts feeling of this premier Disney resort. A variety of natural stones were chosen to create a warm and welcoming environment at each pool.
- Lobby: The already spectacular six-story Grand Hall lobby will continue to impress guests with new, stylish furnishings to complement the existing Arts and Crafts décor.
- The Craftsman Club: The new design for The Craftsman Club, the hotel’s concierge-level lounge, will draw inspiration from the architectural and furniture designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a visionary of the Glasgow Style of the Arts and Crafts movement. New hardwood flooring, custom-designed rugs, finely-crafted artisanal furniture and specially-commissioned art will add to the sophisticated, upscale tone of the Club.
Have a closer look at some of the details in the new rooms:
Bedspread-less beds look SO cheap. This looks like a Hampton Inn. For $700 a night, add some freakin’ bedspreads, don’t give us a college dorm!
I do have to admit that for the price, they need to come A LOT stronger than that.
yeah, seems rather bland, and like any other common hotel room other than the Chip n Dale wallboard.
