Poised to elevate the luxury hospitality set in Las Vegas once again, Bellagio unveils refreshing new guestroom designs and upgraded in-room amenities that speak to trends in sophisticated, contemporary travel.
Encompassing all 2,568 guestrooms in the resort’s main tower, the new designs take inspiration from the movement of water, the beauty of nature and the vibrant reflections of light seen at sunrise and set. Featuring a luxurious oversized shower, dual sinks, a built-in closet and an activity table, Bellagio’s new guestrooms reflect thoughtful use of each space.
Crafted by Chicago-based interior design firm The Gettys Group in partnership with MGM Resorts International Design Group, both design schemes are inspired by Bellagio’s famed Fountains and highlight nuances of nature and light throughout.
“We were originally inspired by the town of Bellagio in Italy, and the picturesque waters of Lake Como,” said Matt Swope, senior project designer, The Gettys Group. “The king guestroom is inspired by the sunrise over the lake—which features fresh, crisp tones with a symphony of blues and greens reflecting on the water. We chose rich hues reminiscent of the mountains surrounding the lake, bringing a keen balance by layering values and tints. We wanted to create an airiness and a sense that anything is possible when your start your day at Bellagio.”
While the premier king room features a blue palette reflective of the sky just before sunrise, the premier two queen room is designed around yellow tones inspired by the sky at sunset. Both designs encompass strong, bold elements that are soothing and calming for guests either beginning or ending their day.
“The double queen room was inspired by a Lake Como sunset—integrating deep, calming tones with flickers of gold shades that move through the water. A touch of amber in the mountains on the horizon connects the clear sky and the soothing shadows. The harmony of earthy hues and purposeful tones gives the impression that there is more to come and to discover during your stay,” Swope said.
Incorporating architectural elements, the new designs include bespoke features on either side of the bed and around the TV media center. A spacious built-in closet and two comfortable, multipurpose seating nooks encourage full use of the room.
“The design of the guestroom was created with a keen sense of scale, balance, proportion and harmony that can be found throughout the resort,” Swope said. “It was important to us that the guestroom design was aspirational, yet timeless; remarkable, yet approachable. One of the key elements of the design was the simple beauty of water—a substance that creates and restores life and transcends all cultures. Fluid in nature and always exquisite; strong and bold yet soothing and calm. Water is ever-changing in appearance, always reflecting the world around it—similar to the Fountains of Bellagio that greets guests.”
Rounding out the elevated guestroom experience is a redesigned bathroom outfitted with an array of natural stones including granite and a variety of marbles. Taking the place of the traditional bathtub is an oversized shower featuring an open doorless entry and marble throughout. The dual-sink granite vanity illuminated by backlit interlocking mirrors encircled by mother of pearl is another design element.
“Gettys Interiors always creates bespoke, story-driven designs for each project,” Swope noted. “The challenge here was to create a design solution that was worthy of the iconic Bellagio brand. At Bellagio, guests are always first. We wanted to create a design that met the needs of all guests, from the couple looking for a leisurely Vegas getaway to the business group in town for a convention. Las Vegas is known for its opulence and grandeur, and the new guestroom design delivers on Bellagio’s brand promise: ‘Nothing short of unforgettable.'”
Bellagio’s room remodel will continue through the summer with the first collection of rooms available for guest stays beginning in April.
“Guests will leave with memories and stories to share from their time at Bellagio. Hopefully, they’ll leave wanting to return soon to enjoy a sunrise…or a sunset,” Swope said.
