Last fall, the Dolphin (of Walt Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Hotel) revealed a brand new look for its lobby including a new lobby bar called Phins, a new grab ’n go market named Fuel, and more. And now, the Swan’s lobby is undergoing a renovation of its own.

The lobby and public spaces (like the front desk, rotunda, and lounging areas) will undergo part of the $3 million transformation. And the Swan’s coffee bar, Java Bar, will also receive a makeover as part of the redesign project.

Look for the work to incorporate the water theme that is already in place in the redesigned guest rooms and the Dolphin’s still-new lobby. Lantern lights and sconces, palm leaf designs, and Bahama shutters will bring guests into a “serene tropical oasis.”

The Swan Resort will remain open to guests during the renovation with work taking place in phases. The project is anticipated to be completed by the end of this year! Once complete, both main lobbies, all the guest rooms, and meeting spaces at the Swan and Dolphin will be entirely updated.
We loved the results of the Dolphin’s refurbishment, and look forward to seeing what’s in store at the Swan!

Well, that certainly is a modern look, but one of the things I loved about the Swan was the 1930’s feel to the little nooks and seating areas, as though Marlene Dietrich might appear around a corner. I thought they really could use a lobby bar so you could enjoy sitting in the calm and sophisticated atmosphere. Ditto a better quick service counter. Not really sold on all this light color paint but I’ll have to take a look next trip there, as we usually stop in at Il Mulino for dinner.
