A painstaking collection of fine finishes gave the lobbies new life: rare quartzite marble was unearthed to complement rich green marble behind the reception desk, stained oak millwork was polished to its original luster, soaring Corinthian and Doric columns pop with lustrous white paint, and round latticed wall medallions reflect natural sunlight that streams through newly unshaded windows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16953 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/small-loby.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"564\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 424px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 424\/564;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-16953 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/small-loby.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"564\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe heightened elegance that STA Architectural Group introduced to Acqualina has elevated the lobbies as you know them,\u201d avers Stephanie. \u201cThe palette was influenced by the emerald-green water of the Atlantic Ocean, while the stately architectural features of the spaces are enhanced and highlighted with varying shades of whites,\u201d she says. \u201cThe furniture is updated with contemporary Fendi Casa selections in addition to magnificent bespoke area rugs, creating a sophisticated, yet warm environment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stepping into Acqualina will always transport guests to a rich, dramatic Italian Riviera villa, now with a brighter, lighter sensation. \u201cThe spaces are even more beautiful and provide a warm welcome and a gathering place for our hotel guests and residents,\u201d says Acqualina CEO Deborah Yager Fleming.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16954 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/acqualina-lobby-4.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"417\" height=\"555\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 417px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 417\/555;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-16954 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.acqualinaresort.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/acqualina-lobby-4.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"417\" height=\"555\" \/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Relax in elegant conversation areas, absorb the newly unveiled beauty, marvel in extraordinary design details.
