The new lobby’s front desk was inspired by a handcrafted cigar box with rich ebony wood, warm leather and gold detailing with an amber-veined onyx backdrop. Guests also enjoy new furnishings, bespoke art and local touches in the lobby space. In refinished guestrooms, design elements include warm walnut tones, herringbone floors and light-colored wall coverings. The Benjamin Suite was also redesigned.

In the new Beverly Suite, guests find delicate finishes, soft curves and decorative lighting. A library wall in the living room area is a highlight, while the suite also includes a dining room, kitchen and bedroom.
