 September
22, 2011 (Sedona, Arizona) - Enchantment Resort, part of the Enchantment Group portfolio
of award-winning properties, is debuting the second phase of a
property-wide
renovation with an $11 million
refurbishment of all 218 guest rooms. The work, with designs inspired
by
Native American traditions and the surrounding beauty of Boynton
Canyon,
includes new state-of-the-art technologies as well as linens,
décor, bathrooms
and indoor and outdoor patio furniture. The guest room enhancements
follow a $4 million expansion of the
resort's onsite Meeting Village, which now boasts indoor meeting and
group
space exceeding 13,000 square feet, with an additional outdoor banquet
space of
more than 20,000 square feet.
Phase II of the renovation was overseen by Flick Mars, a Dallas-based boutique interior design firm specializing in hospitality and leisure facilities in the U.S. and around the world. The design team's vision was to bring the outdoor panorama into the interior by mixing a natural color palette with glass and open-air designs that encourage guests to explore Enchantment's natural surroundings. "The newly enhanced guest accommodations convey a nature-inspired canvas that showcases Enchantment Resort's commitment to create an authentic Sedona experience," said Mark Grenoble, President of Enchantment Group. "Additionally, the use of traditional and local artwork shares the region's unique culture with our guests." New interiors also showcase a modern adaptation of furniture styles and fabrics, which stand out against the resort's adobe walls in a tailored, regional style: seating combines wood, leather and upholstered fabrics reflective of the area's outdoors; custom lighting elements of crystals and metal complement decorative fixtures derived from local jewelers; and artistic materials and details are fused with uncomplicated lines and forms to maintain the balance between history and clean-lined comfort.  Guestroom
bathrooms, the largest undertaking of the redesign, were completely
renovated.
An expanded layout with raised ceilings opened up the space to allow
even more
natural light. Suite bathrooms now showcase five fixtures including a
soaking
tub and walk-in shower.
Other notable interior design highlights inspired by the local landscape and native culture include:
