I’m assuming that since @Pi on my Cake is handling hotel room destructions, he’s also handling the look of their wings.
For the website, a better breakdown than “Wings” would be by function, eg “Lobby,” “Dining,” & “Accommodations.”

That works! I was thinking by wing we do the different designs, dining, and then the available rooms in that wing but switching it to be like that will have a nice breakdown as well!

Just simple interior design descriptions to put above the Room breakdown would be awesome!

This is the rough draft for both hotel pools! Again, this is my first pool and y’all can feel free to critique anything or tell me if there’s anything I left out!
The New York, New York Pool
Welcome to the New York, New York pool where families can splish and splash their way around the icons of New York City. For kids, there’s a 123-foot water slide that puts you right in the middle of a classic New York City New Years celebration! Before you descend down a large incline, you’ll hear the iconic countdown as you suddenly speed down back into the pool to represent the ball dropping at Midnight!
A lazy river takes families on a music-filled tour of one of New York’s biggest parties! Fountains rise up from the water and sync with the upbeat party music! A band of singing statues plays near one of the Lazy River’s turns as water blows out of trumpets and trombones. Fancy tables sit in the water and spin as the silverware and flowers stay on. Fire works shoot off and cause waves to appear within the river to make for a great time!
The pool bar offers an assortment of both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks.
The quiet pools and jacuzzis are located on the adjacent end of the area where guests can relax and listen to smooth jazz away from all the noise and energy of the party.
The Hollywood Dream Pool
Welcome to the Hollywood Dream pool where you can be a movie star in your own Hollywood fantasy. Enter the pool on red carpet and prepare to be treated like a celebrity by the pool staff.
Enjoy different themed movie sets to widely varying genres of film. Enjoy old fashioned Western sets or out-of-this-world sci-fi backdrops as camera equipment is there to enhance the movie magic of it all. Every night, a large movie screen plays classic movies for all to enjoy as you make a star-studded splash!
Relax in a cabana themed to your very own celebrity dressing room and have a fun day at the pool!
The main attraction is a smaller replica of Los Angeles’s Mount Lee, which houses the iconic Hollywood sign. Walk up a short flight of stairs and slide down one of the best slides a Disney resort has ever seen and splash back into the pool!
Overall, enjoy a pool that puts you right in the middle of a classic Hollywood story and live your own adventure as a top-tier actor or actress!

One pool clarification. The overall hotel layout has designated pool areas in the Hollywood and Chicago wings. The New York wing is centrally located, and has dining/lobby space instead of pools. So a simple switch of your NYNY pool to Chicago New Year theming should suffice.

Okay, the layout was one thing on my mind throughout making this. So, thanks for the clarification!

I got some family and personal stuff I'm doing this afternoon btw. No issues finishing my stuff, but it will probably be closer to 7-9ish. I can add it to the site if that's needed. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up!

New York Wing
This Wing sticks to the look of the Lobby pretty closely considering much of it faces inward and overlooks it. Like the whole hotel, there is a strong focus on a classy, art deco style. This wing specifically has a Great Gatsby, 20s era New Money feel to it. The color scheme is very warm with plenty of gold plating, bronze accents, and wood paneling. The theming is subtle as this is a luxury hotel, but scattered around are some props and decorations that add to the story of the New Money New York Mansion. Paintings of lifestyles of the rich and famous in the Roaring 20s, pictures of the fancy cars the wealthy would drive, and fancy hats that are the height of fashion at the time hung on hooks on the walls. There are also some balloons and streamers to represent the extravagant parties that were so beloved by New York's Elite in this era.
Standard Room - Avg. Rate: $800 a night
The Standard Room has Two Queen Beds, a desk, a pull out couch, and a balcony. There is also a variant with a King Bed and a comfy chair instead of the two queen beds. The walls feature art of the New York skyline of the 1920s and the sheets/shower curtains have designs inspired by flapper fashion trends of the era.
Standard Room (Park View) - Avg. Rate: $1050 a night
Same as the Standard Room, but with a balcony that looks out over the lake toward Disneyland 1986.
2 Bedroom Premium Suite - Avg. Rate: $2300 a night
This room type features a kitchenette, one bedroom with a king bed, one bedroom with a queen bed, a small living room with a pull out couch, and a balcony. The theming is roughly the same as the standard room, but the king bedroom has more of a focus on art deco design and the queen bedroom has more of a focus on the vintage automobiles of the era.
2 Bedroom Premium Suite (Park View) - Avg. Rate: $2500 a night
Same as the regular Premium Suite, but with a balcony that looks out over the lake toward Disneyland 1986.
Oswald's Great Gala Dream Suite - Avg. Rate: $3100 a night
The Dream Suites serve as more heavily themed family suites for the hotel. They all have a park view balcony. There is a kitchenette, one room with a king bed, one bedroom with a bunk bed, a living room with a pull out couch, a complementary (exclusive to the resort) "Roaring 20s Oswald" plush in the kids room, and a balcony. This one is themed to the grand parties of the roaring 20s with Oswald the Lucky Rabbit as the Gatsby style "host" for the gala. Light fixtures made to look like silver and gold balloons, a bottle of sparkling cider included with the room, confetti imprinted on the walls, paintings with dance step instructions for classic moves from the 20s, artwork of Oswald dancing with his party guests, etc.
Hollywood Wing
This wing is themed to the glitz and glamour of 1920s Hollywood. As with the whole hotel interior, there is a classy art deco focus, though the warm color scheme of the central New York Wing is replaced with a more metallic color scheme with shiny silvers and grays, glossy blacks, and matte golds. Artwork depicting movie premiers and film sets from the 20s line the walls. Occasional bits of vintage camera equipment and similar props are spread around, but as this is a luxury hotel the theming is kept subtle. The carpet in the hallways is red with gold accents meant to subtly evoke a red carpet premiere.
Standard Room - Avg. Rate: $800 a night
The Standard Room has Two Queen Beds, a desk, a pull out couch, and a balcony. There is also a variant with a King Bed and a comfy chair instead of the two queen beds.

There is a kitchenette, one room with a king bed, one bedroom with a bunk bed, a living room with a pull out couch, a complementary (exclusive to the resort) "20s Hollywood Starlet Minnie Mouse" plush in the kids room, and a balcony. This one is themed to a Hollywood Movie Premiere! A red carpet near the entrance, a dimmer in the living room for theater lighting, lamps styled after camera flash bulbs of the paparazzi, posters of parodies of famous films from the 20s with Mickey and Minnie as the leads, etc. There is even an applause sound effect that plays when you turn on the light switch near the front door. The king bedroom is loosely themed to the famous Chinese theater while the kids bedroom has some props and painted backdrops on the walls to make it feel almost like a set for a film.

The king bedroom is loosely themed to the famous Chinese theater while the kids bedroom has some props and painted backdrops on the walls to make it feel almost like a set for a film.
Chicago Wing
This wing is themed to the lavish lifestyles the heads of the criminal underworld enjoyed in this stylistic interpretation of 1920s Chicago Gangsters. More based on movies and stories than reality. As with the whole hotel interior, there is a classy art deco focus, though the warm color scheme of the central New York Wing is replaced with a more cold color scheme with sleek silvers/grays, matte blacks, and various shades of blues. Artwork depicting Capone style gangsters of the 20s line the walls. Occasional bits of jazz instruments, bright red roses, fedoras, and similar props spread around, but as this is a luxury hotel the theming is kept subtle.
Standard Room - Avg. Rate: $800 a night
The Standard Room has Two Queen Beds, a desk, a pull out couch, and a balcony. There is also a variant with a King Bed and a comfy chair instead of the two queen beds. The walls feature art of the Chicago skyline of the 1920s and the sheets/shower curtains have designs inspired by the pinstripe suits of the era.

This one is themed to a Gangster hide out tucked in a Speak Easy! There are exposed pipes to add to the hidden feeling, the doors to each bedroom are designed to look like hidden secret doors, there is a wall of bottles with labels that parody famous alcohol brands but with Disney puns that doubles as a creative light fixture, etc. The king bedroom is themed to a noir style private detective office with a newspaper clippings on the walls of Goofy's suspected heists. The kid's bedroom is themed to the mafia's hide out with the walls painted like dark alleys and heisted treasures hidden around.

Hey, is the whole New York Wing set in New Year's Eve? Or is it just the pool?

It’s now the Chicago pool that’s on New Year, since NY Wing has no pool. It’s your call if you wanna use that theme in the rooms too.
I’d say fewer words are needed for each room type. Give a general description differentiating standard rooms from deluxe rooms (eg more beds, larger square footage) and general description of view types (park, gardens). Then a section for the overall decor/design for each wing. That should suffice.

Right! Forgot the pool was moved!
And yeah, the different room types will each be basically a sentence each aside from the first for each wing and the dream rooms. Even those will be simple.

Completed lobby description from @D Hulk & @Mickeynerd17
Lobby
The grand central lobby & atrium of the Grand American Hotel is centrally located in the New York Wing. Entrance from the exterior vehicle dropoff leads hotel guests initially into a spectacular Art Deco lobby with wood paneling in a low-slung. The entry lobbies of genuine Gilded Age mansions provide inspiration. From fine carpeting to crystal chandelier lighting, every detail says decadent elegance and class.
The check-in desk is directly right upon entry. Set behind hand-carved, polished oak, hotel staff eagerly sees to guests’ needs. Our concierge helps out with luggage, arranging for storage as needed, or overseeing busboy delivery to guest suites.
This lobby holds subtle Disney touches, like tasteful oil paintings depicting the Fab Five in 1920s attire like characters out of The Great Gatsby. There are also subtle nods to the hotel’s Franklin Keys backstory, from framed newspapers to wall-mounted photographs.
Further inside, the lobby gives way to a spectacularly spacious central atrium. This is the New York Wing’s main public area and waiting lobby, bedecked in ritzy 1920s splendor. Gigantic bay windows three stories tall look out onto the outdoor veranda, lagoon and theme park. Colored light pours in from a precious Tiffany glass skylight several floors up. Mezzanine balconies look over the atrium, accessed by a pair of curving marble staircases. These curlicue steps frame a massive grand chandelier the size of a train car. Guests relax in the atrium space in overstuffed 1920s furniture, while a live pianist accompanies. A pair of Tiffany glass elevators on the east and west walls provide alternate guest access to the upper floor suites and dining. Ground level hallways lead to the Chicago and Hollywood Wings.
The conference center unobtrusively fills out the downstairs “basement.” With the Grand American Hotel built into the side of a rolling green hill, these functions easily fill out the lower levels. Window bays look out due north beneath the veranda patio, or due south beneath the vehicle dropoff point towards the fountain parterre.
