Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa Lobby Refurbishment

Stepping into Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is like entering a world of timeless elegance. The soft melodies of a live piano, the warm glow of chandeliers, and the fragrant floral arrangements create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and serene. Soon, this refined ambiance will be complemented by a brand-new lobby bar, offering guests the perfect place to unwind with a refreshing drink.

Drawing inspiration from the lobby’s signature birdcage, the bar celebrates the resort’s rich Victorian heritage with intricate woodwork, stained glass, and brass embellishments. Throughout the atrium, guests will discover charming depictions of colorful birds woven into the stained glass and murals. Meanwhile, the beloved Victorian cage-style elevator remains a focal point, preserving the resort’s classic charm.

A Grand Refresh with Timeless Beauty

The lobby, staircase, and front desk will soon feature a fresh, inviting aesthetic, with botanical accents and soft, airy tones that evoke a garden-like feel.

Disney Imagineers have carefully curated this refurbishment to honor the resort’s cherished legacy while introducing elegant updates for guests to enjoy.

The latest rendering showcases a stunning new carpet design, blending Victorian-inspired scrollwork with hand-drawn floral details reminiscent of botanical studies from the early 20th century. New furnishings will seamlessly merge refined finishes, brass accents, and plush fabrics, enhanced by playful touches reflecting Florida’s natural beauty and the decorative traditions of the Victorian era.
