diffused through linen lampshades and globe-shaped cut-glass
pendants dangling from the ceiling. Echoing The Ritz-Carlton

500 acres of natural beauty, carefully considered artwork is
arranged throughout the room, inspiring feelings of motion and
repose through framed photographic images of natural movement and
stillness on water, sand, and the wide-open skies above
Florida.
Continuing with this nature driven theme, the layered stone
countertop minibar boasts a distinctive cabinet design resembling a
fishing basket stocked for a day of adventure. The room's custom
furniture, including upholstered and wooden chairs, stuffed couch,
and chaise lounge, is detailed for attractiveness and comfort, with
rich and opulent finishes and warm tones that invite guests to kick
back, relax, and linger. Wall-to-wall carpeting is soft and
textured, with a custom pattern carefully considered to complement
other elements of the room. Meanwhile, guest bathrooms are sleek
and richly detailed with a double vanity sink, marble flooring and
splashguards, roomy tub with shower, and separate water closet.
