PALM BEACH, FL—Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa has partnered with Jonathan Adler on the complete redesign of its 309 guestrooms, suites and corridors, which will be completed in time for the winter 2015 season.
“As Simon Lewis, Eau Palm Beach’s owner, and I created and grew the Eau Palm Beach ‘miles away from mainstream’ experience, we knew reaching out to Jonathan Adler was the perfect and most natural next step to create designs that are reminiscent of classic Palm Beach with touches that make people happy,” said Ayelet Rahav, Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa creative director. “More than ever, today’s vacationers are multigenerational families with incredibly diverse backgrounds and life experiences—and we wanted our room experience to give them a joyful retreat where they can create their own new memories together.”
Each room channels a “Capri meets Santorini meets Palm Beach” vibe, according to the resort. The rooms feature exclusive furnishings designed by Adler; art commissions by Donald “Drawbertson” Robertson, Leila Jeffries and Jenna Snyder-Phillips; classic photographs by Slim Aarons; and design details that incorporate the Chinoiserie-inspired decor and color combinations of vintage Palm Beach.
“In creating this room experience, I wanted Eau Palm Beach guests to feel as if they truly ‘arrived’ upon walking into their room. Palm Beach has an incredible combination of glamour, fantasy and luxury, and the new rooms really capture that vibe,” said Adler. “By designing guestrooms with a fresh, nautical color palette, pops of color and unexpected surprises, I’ve created a luxurious and dreamy experience for everyone to enjoy a fancy vacation.”
Inside the guestrooms, the color palette is inspired by the bright blues of Capri, the white of Santorini rooftops and the classic nautical Palm Beach vibe, with crisp blue valences over balcony doors and bright white and chrome accents, according to the resort. Furnishings have been designed to transition from business meetings to impromptu cocktail soirees with ease. Round tables facilitate everything from board meetings to family brunches. Desks are bedecked with tassels (the “earrings of the home,” according to Adler) and bathrooms include hidden-jewel box nooks with pops of color.
All of the resort’s 309 rooms feature ocean views, and new elements include hanging chairs with a lacquered bamboo look, as well as a wrought-iron “peace” and “love” dining set.
