The first renderings of the resort, including the Entry Hall and the Front Desk, were unveiled back in June.

Pictures of the renderings also unveil a tropical green and white palm wall pattern and a collage of photos highlighting the hotel’s history. The guest rooms will “offer a tranquil, casual opulence that soothes and stimulate the senses,” in a cozy, white-and-indigo blue room.

The majority of the hotel, including its original moldings and ceilings, will also be restored for the first time since 1962, the release said.

The exterior of the hotel will have a pink hue, which sparked discussion online as the first photos of the renovation were released.

The renovations are planned for completion by next year, the release said.
