Update on Dolphin Refurb

[PinnySmart]

Currently most suites have been refurbished. The regular rooms have not been done yet but the refurb should start in August. The stark white that was used in the Swan refurb has been replaced with a creamy off white. IMHO this is an improvement over the sterile hospital look at the Swan. This information is not official but is what I was told this morning. I am attaching photos of the Studio Suite I stayed in this weekend. I am a horrible photographer so don't judge.I think this suite will be called the Premiere Studio Suite. Again take it for what it's worth. I work for Starwood but not at the Swan or Dolphin.

The pictures look great! My mom works for Starwood too and we love taking advantage of the sweet deals on hotel rooms and the 1/2 off food and beverages!!! Thanks for sharing the pics! Can't wait to stay there next summer

I think the wall behind the sofa was added during the refurb. The studio suites used to be one big room. IIRC.

Right?? That's what I'm thinking too... Does the new couch open up into a sleeper now?

Yes it does. I tried it out and it is much more comfortable than the old ones.

Stsyed in a fireworks view room on the 17th floor in the mid April. The room was renovated and looked great. One of the cleanest I've stayed in on property

Those are interesting pictures, and thank you for the update on the Dolphin's room renovations. I usually stay at the Swan, and I loved the newly renovated rooms with the white and blue color scheme, when I stayed there last year. Yet, I can also see how the off-white color used in the Dolphin would work nicely as well. Both are great hotels in an excellent location.

Was it a regular room? I was told regular room renovations would start back in August but I was almost positive that some had already been done.

I booked an epcot fireworks room. We arrived late and were put on the 17th floor with a better view of dhs fireworks. If you are looking at the resort from the ground our room was towrds the top left of the big black square.

Thanks. That just proves that not everyone that works for the company knows what they are talking about lol. Me included. I thought I had heard some rooms had been done (besides just suites). Sometimes when I say something about Swan and Dolphin I feel like a Disney bus driver because usually it is hearsay and may or not be fact depending on who I hear it from. The S&D are really great choices with proximity to Epcot and DHS. Here's hoping Marriott's takeover makes thing even better and not worse.

You're not the only one. I'm also wondering how the Marriott takeover will affect those two hotels.
