Key Design Highlights The 556-room hotel is known for its ornate Garden Court with a domed ceiling illuminated by crystal chandeliers. To create the effect of a living room, the designer transformed the space with comfortable furnishings and a large, custom floral carpet. The color palette of the hotel- deep blue, wine, and gray- was inspired by early 1900s artwork and men's tailored suits and luggage. Guestrooms have the feel of Parisian apartments with streamlined furnishings, and bright white moldings highlight architectural flourishes. Because the guestroom floor plans vary significantly, about 50 distinct room designs were developed. contract
