PB hotel design editorial

Mediterranean Revival architecture planted deep in Central Florida's wetland landscape sets an unlikely stage for The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, which opened in 2003 on a 500-acre site shared with the JW Marriott and an Audubon-certified golf course designed by Greg Norman. The eighteen-story main tower, its warm stucco facades and arched colonnades visible from across the palm-lined approach drive, draws from the Spanish Colonial tradition that filtered through Florida resort architecture in the early twentieth century — twin belvedere towers flanking a symmetrical facade that suggests Addison Mizner's Palm Beach work translated into convention-scale hospitality. Inside, recent renovations have shifted the interiors toward a lighter register. The lobby bar mixes travertine floors and coffered plaster ceilings — original to the building — with contemporary brass-slatted millwork and golden accent cushions that acknowledge the architecture without being consumed by it. Guest rooms now run to a quiet palette of warm whites, greige, and natural linen, furnished with dark walnut benches, upholstered curved lounge chairs, and wide-plank oak flooring in the upper suite categories. Balconies throughout the 584-room property face over the terrace pool deck — terracotta paving and date palms arranged in a formal geometry — toward the Norman-designed fairways and the shallow lakes that give Grande Lakes its name.

"This is a fantastic property with a truly dedicated staff. Danielle, Tommy, and Madison went above and beyond, delivering personalized service and attention to detail that created a real “wow” experience. I was upgraded to a suite that impressed in both space and design, with top-notch amenities. The Club Floor was excellent—hot and cold light meals, baked goods, desserts, fruit, coffee, soft drinks, wine, and an expertly made Dirty Martini. Jamie, Matthew, Paula, and Jason made the club warm and welcoming, elevating the experience. Without this team it would not have been the same. The casual restaurant had a great burger, though communication could have been better. While the hostess was friendly, I was passed to someone who dismissively directed me to the bar despite empty tables. Janelle at the bar, however, was personable, knowledgeable, and welcoming, and seating was available shortly after I arrived. Door service was less attentive (though Ernie the bellman was great), and unlike some other Ritz properties, I didn’t experience a house car, water service, or name recognition—minor points in an otherwise excellent stay. Overall, this was a solid 5-star visit. The property is beautiful, the service is strong, and it’s a home base in Orlando that easily surpasses the best other resorts. A final note: Do watch the checkout process. The last rep at the desk attempted to charge me for resort fees that I’d already paid. I had to prove that my pre-paid travel reservation specified taxes and resort fees were included."

"There were too many shortfalls this stay. The pool was understaffed and difficult to find any staff to take an order. I had to ask multiple times for my room to be cleaned at 5pm (others in our party had similar issues), seemingly another staffing issue. The steakhouse made us wait 20 minutes for our table in an empty restaurant for a 6pm reservation. Overall the hotel felt as if staffing was an issue to being able to provide typical service. The hotel was clean, the gym was good, even if cramped, the grounds were well kept, but something felt atypical."

"Got the 80 min Hydrafacial Deluxe with Jamie and she was absolutely fantastic! Would definitely return and ask for her as my technician— so knowledgeable while delivering an excellent service"
