This updated experience blends the resort’s classic Victorian charm with subtle inspiration from Alice in Wonderland. The results are a setting that feels both sophisticated and whimsical.
The reimagined Garden View Lounge feels like stepping into a sunlit conservatory. The update includes floor-to-ceiling windows that allow natural light into the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The design balances modern comfort with timeless elegance, in keeping with the theme of the Grand Floridian. Updated furnishings and thoughtful layout changes make the space feel refreshed and classic.
Every corner of the lounge encourages guests to slow down, relax, and enjoy the atmosphere.
Beautiful Details Throughout the Space
Small details bring the new room to life.
Guests are immersed in soft shades of green, blue, and gold. Soft floral patterns and plush fabrics create a calm garden-inspired setting complete with natural elements.
There are organic shapes inspired by flowers and leaves that appear in décor pieces and furnishings. The lounge feels like a peaceful garden escape.
Unique Touches

There are even more unique touches as you explore the room. Brass-framed mirrors shaped like flower petals reflect the surrounding space and add visual interest to the walls.
Stained-glass windows featuring native Floridian birds add color and warmth to the room, and even the carpet continues the theme. Its flowing pattern resembles winding garden vines, tying the entire space together.
