Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin launching major renovation

The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is launching the largest renovation in its 25-year history.

The $125 million redesigns will transform the 758-room Swan Hotel and the 1,509-room Dolphin Hotel.

The project is starting at the Swan with about 500 rooms being redesigned by the end of 2014. The first phase of the Dolphin renovation will begin in 2015 and the entire project will be completed by the end of 2016.

The rooms will all get upgraded furniture, large HD TVs and additional power outlets. In addition, the bathrooms will be completely redesigned featuring a back-lit mirror mounted on iridescent glass tiles.

“As we celebrate the hotel’s 25th anniversary, it is appropriate that we mark the occasion with a renaissance of our room product,” General Manager Fred Sawyers said in a new release. “Our guests will continue to receive the level of service and hospitality that comes with a quarter century of experience while enjoying a modern new guest room.”

The one thing which will not change, according to the company, is the Westin Heavenly Bed with its all-white custom-designed pillow-top mattress set.
