JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek Resort & Spa is a 516-key property that brings modern luxury with a strong sense of place to Central Florida. The resort is located near Disney World in Orlando Florida and offers 50,000 square feet of meeting spaces. The resort is thoughtfully designed to bring people together, offering warm and inviting social spaces and amenities. The interior design was inspired by local nature and the surrounding Bonnet Creek with its native heritage and craftsmanship. It takes its clue from history in celebrating nature’s soothing color palette, organic textures, and tones. Bold graphic elements are inspired by the Seminole history of basketry and reinterpreted into a modern sense in the interior vocabulary. The design was viewed through a new lens- modern “Seminole Chic”. Layers of natural woven leather, wood and stone materials along with the unique use of physical geometry are expressed throughout the ceilings and floors with artful angles, circles, and oblong shapes. The resort houses large meeting facilities and the objective was to create spaces that reflect the stars and astrological features that the native tribes might have used to navigate in this area. Modern technology was integrated into all spaces to allow for guest comforts.
