Park Hyatt Aviara

Project Details

Project Description

Completed by world-renowned hospitality design firm WATG and its interiors studio, Wimberly Interiors, the renovation at Park Hyatt Aviara transformed this iconic Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five Diamond resort welcoming a new lobby lounge, refreshed guestrooms, Top Golf suites, adult and family pool areas and expanded event lawns to accommodate large parties for special occasions. Inspired by the grand estates of Montecito and Santa Barbara, the renovation exudes a new type of coastal luxury by introducing a bright palette of neutral tones and pops of blues reminiscent of the hotel’s views directly towards the Pacific Ocean.

The lobby arrival experience has been revolutionized to seamlessly connect the outdoors with the indoors - bringing the ocean view directly into the lobby, creating a Mediterranean “outdoor living room” with a showstopping glass chandelier embodying local birds in flight. A series of lounges and bars within the lobby space are each designed with the unique casual elegance reflective of a coastal California oasis.

Guestrooms and corridors were designed as a sanctuary inspired by the beauty and symbolism of the Great Blue Heron. Residing in the Batiquitos Lagoon, this majestic bird is celebrated by Native American tradition as progressive, self-reliant and graceful. Designed as a home away from home, the guestrooms evoke a unique California casual elegance that feature hard and soft materials that celebrate the subtle blue-grey plumage color of the Great Blue Heron.

The guestrooms were dramatically modernized to be smart, intuitive and functionally seamless within the elegant design. Unique spatial elements such as wood ledges and the curated library wall that also serves as a desk and bar maximize the space and delivers a distinctly residential experience for guests. Throughout the resort, the materials and finishes are refined and elevated – creating an authentic escape from everyday life.
