The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort is going through a transformation of its own — and part of it has officially been completed!
The Marriott-owned hotels previously announced a $275 million transformation featuring a new 120,000-square-foot event space expansion, along with upgrades to its existing space, and guest room renovations. While many of these renovations are still in the works, the guest room renovations are now complete and we’re sharing a peek!
It’s official! The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin has completed the renovation of all 756 guest rooms in the Swan hotel with a sleek, modern design that will allow “guests to leave the everyday behind and enter a world of wonder.” These hotels are located in the EPCOT resort area, between the Yacht Club and the BoardWalk, and are owned by Marriott — but they get many of the same perks that Disney World’s Deluxe Resorts get.
The new rooms exude a fresh, warm, and inviting ambiance featuring white-oak luxury tile flooring complemented by a rich hand-tufted rug, while crisp white walls accented by a tranquil blue feature wall instill a sense of calm.
The beds feature a wooden headboard with white upholstery, with plenty of room for storage underneath, too.
The entire renovation project at the Swan and Dolphin will take place over the next several years, and will include “modernized upgrades to existing meeting spaces and Swan guest rooms.” There will also be some technology enhancements throughout the property.
The expansion will bring the Swan and Dolphin’s total meeting space to 469,000 square feet between its three buildings — the Swan, Dolphin, and Swan Reserve. Add in the already 2,619 hotel rooms, and that will make this property one of the biggest convention spaces on the East Coast.
“We look forward to delivering such a major transformation for our customers. These enhancements will be a great addition to our iconic and award-winning operation,” said Area General Manager Sean Verney. “It positions our property to remain at the forefront of meeting and convention venues globally.”
As far as the meeting space expansion goes, it will include a new two-story annex. It will have 41,000 square feet of multi-purpose space and 24,000 square feet of additional pre-function space, all connected to the building’s original convention space. The second floor will have a new ballroom, as well as a foyer.
We can’t wait to see what these renovations look like when they’re all finally complete! In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more updates from the Disney World Swan and Dolphin. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!
