With the intent of a modern refresh to the property, RAL was tasked by Ownership and Four Seasons to oversee the design and renovation of a multiphase project to ensure the congruency of their product and world class service. Phase One consisted of an all-new Spa and Fitness center located on the 4th floor, which quickly became one of the city’s top wellness destinations. Phase Two was nothing short of extraordinary as the team embarked on a complete demolition and structural renovation of the interior lobby, creating a newly spacious area for guests to take in the expansive view of the Grand Staircase all the way to the Hotel’s 3rd floor. To complement the newly gorgeous lobby, the team oversaw the adjacent design and construction of the brand-new American bar and restaurant, Bayou & Bottle, as well as a complete refresh to the Porte Cochere and exterior entranceway. RAL achieved the completion of this project on schedule and within budget, helping debut a new and modern gathering place for the sophisticated traveler looking to immerse themselves in the urban landscape.
