Bespoke Nepalese area rugs surrounded Fendi Casa furniture to create sophisticated, yet warm conversation areas.\u00a0 Like any home renovation, Jules and Stephanie Trump, with CEO and Partner Deborah Yager Fleming, saw the beautiful results and quickly decided to elevate other Resort areas they knew clients and residents would appreciate.

First, all 112 bathrooms in 98 guestrooms and 44 suites were given lustrous makeovers with Italian marble floors, separate glass-enclosed showers surrounded by custom, white textured wallpaper, LED-lit Italian sconces, wall-to-wall Molteni vanities in the suites, new plush bathrobes, ESPA bath and Lady Primrose after-sun products and either Baci counter or Nameeks wall-mounted makeup mirrors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur DNA is classic furnishings with modern elements,\u201d says Yager Fleming. \u201cThe bathrooms adhere to this philosophy with curated finishes that are either custom-made or from high-end designers that manufacture everything for us,\u201d she says, while describing the White Vena Oro marble vanities as \u201cfresh and translucent, brightening the entire bathroom space.\u201d New Boca Terry white robes and white slippers complete the luxurious experience. Naturally, the next step was to extend the refresh to every guestroom and suite. Every bed has new, soft-as-silk linens, including a duvet cover with champagne trim and Euro shams with Acqualina\u2019s signature \u201cA.\u201d\u00a0 Ideal Casa\u2019s Virgilio Mariano helped customize exclusive furniture selected for its continuity and Italian elegance. From the sophisticated, yet practical, Italian-made Miami Sofa Bed with its hidden opening mechanism, to glass-topped bronze metal end tables and dining table with leather-stitched column, solid wood Tub chairs and curved oak bar stools, every suite enhancement is elegant, comfortable and timeless. Even their luxurious suspender lounge chairs were commissioned by RGS Europe and made in Spain. Suite kitchens were created for glamorous evenings in, with elegant Lapitec Stone Bianco Vittoria kitchen counters, LED high-hats and Everest chandeliers.<\/p>\n<p>With the guestrooms and suites completed, Jules, Stephanie and Deborah turned to\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16981 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"557\" height=\"418\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-500x375.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 557px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 557\/418;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16981 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"557\" height=\"418\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/acqualina.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Classic-Suite-Room-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>THE ARRIVAL EXPERIENCE: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted our guests to feel as though they have entered their own private foyer area as soon as they step\u00a0off the elevator,\u201d says Yager Fleming.\u00a0 \u201cWe selected a bronze-toned carpet with black accents to tie into our beautiful zebrawood furniture pieces, and then a Luna custom wallpaper that artistically suggests ocean waves breaking,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>IL MULINO<\/em><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Acqualina\u2019s venerable Il Mulino New York, a classic South Florida gathering place, was next.
