From Gulfshore Life:
Before the doors open on November 17, we take you inside the new Four Seasons resort to preview restored icons and 1,000 feet of Gulf beachfront.
“Sustainably minded architecture from Hart Howerton and ODP blends with interiors from New York-based Champalimaud Design for spaces that strike a familiar chord without feeling retro. Off the lobby, an inviting lounge swathed in seaglass green exemplifies the firm’s approach. Bespoke millwork, botanical upholstery and subtle coastal detailing create an environment rooted in Naples’ distinct, intentional form of luxury.
In a redevelopment that spans 125 acres, the team preserved the elements that mattered to the community: the 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course (being redesigned and slated to reopen next summer), the Mary C. Watkins Tennis Center and more than 104 acres held in permanent conservation easement. But perhaps no return is more symbolic than HB’s, named for Watkins family patriarch, Henry B. Watkins, Sr. Rebuilt in its original footprint, the beloved beachfront restaurant now pairs its familiar Gulf views with modern comforts, including a new private dining room that opens to a seaside terrace. Inside the restaurant, wide bay windows make for ideal sunset viewing, framed by a striped awning with colors evoking the original hotel’s palette.”
