This hotel has a very adult oriented feel. It's geared towards adults, so the decor is more sophisticated but still gives (many) nods to Disney. It's just not in your face.
Also it's completely on point with the artistry of Barcelona feel they were going for. Vegas? And the price is great.

I think this will become one of their most popular hotels. :)

As it's been described, this tower was built specifically to support the convention center crowd at Coronado. They had lots and lots of feedback that they needed something closer in to the main building and convention facility that had a more business hotel level of amenities. Those attending events at the space didn't want to walk what can be some crazy distances in the FL climate to get to the meeting building. That clientele also expects a different level of amenities when attending that sort of corporate event.

It all looks very very nice but why does the outside look so bland in comparison to the inside?

I can agree with that. I don't love the color on the outside. The artwork framing the building is great and the uplighting at night is beautiful (from pictures). The portico looks nice, but yes, seeing the outside gives no hint of how pretty the inside looks.

Even the interior is rather bland. The spaces are the same rather nondescript boxes interrupted by large engaged columns. Some nice furniture pieces are inside but they’re just sort of fit into the box, and sometimes awkwardly at that. Things like the sculptured columns sit in isolation. All of the ovaloid motifs seem like they’re trying to pass off as some sort of Guadí-esque design, but they’re just applied to rather flat, square surfaces and openings instead of actually informing the shape of the space.

The interior is not bland! 😂

It's a beautiful hotel, period. I'm super excited to stay there and thrilled we switched from a deluxe, as this looks nicer!

Seems pretty clear to me that the hotel design is meant to reflect a treasure cave hidden beneath a waterfall.

Not many caves are beautiful on the outside.
