The
Bellagio and its famous fountains have been an iconic presence on the world-famous
Las
Vegas Strip for 25 years now and—in one area, at least—it appears that the
time had come for an upgrade.
Therefore, the
resort’s Spa Tower has just emerged from a $110-million
upgrade, which has transformed the premium collection of accommodations into
a haven of renewed luxury. This heavenly portion of the hotel will be reopening
to guests this month.
The extensive
renovation focused on elevating guest rooms and suites, showcasing opulent interiors inspired by
the timeless elegance of classic Italian style. In that sense, it reflects
the overall aesthetic of the rest of the property.
The Spa Tower’s facelift
was led by Champalimaud Design, a New York City-based interior design atelier,
in collaboration with MGM Resorts International Design Group. These two teams
joined forces to give the Spa Tower an even more chic, sophisticated style through
the use of custom furnishings, elevated amenities and bespoke art pieces.

"We wanted to
create a residential aesthetic with the timeless sense of luxury that is
uniquely Bellagio," said Winston Kong, partner at Champalimaud
Design, in a statement given to Travel
+ Leisure. "We found inspiration in the colors of Lake Como's
surrounding flora and the classical style of the building's
architecture."
The revamped rooms
and suites feature a soothing neutral palette punctuated by vibrant touches, all
of which were inspired by the colors of the flora that surrounds Italy’ Lake
Como region. The combination of soft pinks, pomegranate reds, indigo and golden
hues produces a luxuriously serene escape from the bustling energy of The Strip
outside.
Custom furnishings
and accent pieces crafted in these colors, designed to evoke Northern Italian
styles, combine with equally refined interior surfaces to produce visually symphonic
spaces. Grey-and-white marble tables provide exquisite centerpieces, while gleaming
white marble vanities anchor the lavish bathrooms. And, all of these posh
appointments are bathed in the refreshing natural light that streams through
expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Bellagio's
commitment to delivering unparalleled accommodations, experiences, and guest
service for our discerning guests from around the world is the hallmark of our
brand promise," Ann Hoff, president and COO of Bellagio, told the outlet
when the renovation
plans were announced last year. "The Spa Tower's beautiful and
luxurious new suites and guest rooms will reinforce our position as one of the
hospitality industry's premier destinations."
Following the Spa
Tower’s redesign, resort-wide guest room enhancements will commence this year with
the renovation of the Bellagio Tower’s approximately 400 suites, a project that
also will be brought to life by the award-winning team at Champalimaud Design.
