The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes recently announced its $30 million renovation and redesign. The property updates include renovations to guestrooms, the pool and club lounge.

Set to debut in February, the property’s 582 guestrooms will feature nature-inspired design elements, with influences from the property’s 500 acres of lush surroundings. Expect to see soft colors, plush textures and nautical details. Artwork displayed throughout the guestrooms captures the natural movement and stillness of Florida’s water, sand and skies. The rooms boast custom furniture, including upholstered and wooden chairs, a couch and chaise lounge. There is soft, textured, wall-to-wall carpeting throughout the rooms. Bathrooms include a double vanity sink and marble flooring. Guestrooms will also feature added technology elements, including higher-quality internet access and more user-friendly outlet placements.

Ahead of the renovation unveiling, the property hosts a Curated Experiences event Feb. 26–28. During the event, guests can take part in master classes, guided workshops and other demonstrations led by award-winning chefs, winemakers, artists and wellness experts.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
