The Venetian Resort Las Vegas Unveils Newly Designed Luxury Suites 

Coinciding with its 25th anniversary, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas announced last May that all 4,000 of its guest suites would undergo complete renovations. Fast forward several months later, and the first of those updated luxury suites are now available for booking. 

Combining contemporary aesthetics with a refreshed design inspired by the ornate costumes of The Carnival of Venice, the remodeled suites feature spacious accommodations that include plush sleeping areas, separate living spaces, and luxurious all-marble bathrooms with oversized tubs. Additional amenities include personal-use fridges, bedside charging stations, and thoughtful details designed to enhance the guest experience. 

Showcasing modern and sophisticated design elements, each suite offers plush leather headboards and custom furnishings, complemented by contemporary art pieces highlighting traditional Renaissance techniques, opulent, soft fabrics in revived red and gold jewel tones, bespoke rosewood accents on TV panels and minibar cabinets, and rich, ruddy-brown veneers. 

The renovated suites are part of The Venetian Resort’s $1.5 billion reinvestment and redevelopment project that encompasses a comprehensive reimagining of the resort, including new entertainment concepts, culinary openings, a $188 million redesign of its Convention Center, and more. 

“The Venetian Resort’s innovative spirit has had a massive impact on Las Vegas over the last 25 years and paved the way for our visionary $1.5 billion reinvestment today,” said Patrick Nichols, president and CEO of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas in a press release. “This redevelopment marks more than just a surface-level renovation, it signifies a deep understanding of our guests and a profound reimagining of an iconic resort unlike any other in history. The beauty of this project lies within the balance of the beloved familiar and the never-before-seen.” 

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas offers 1.2 million square feet of diverse and flexible meeting and convention space designed to accommodate a wide array of events, including nine ballrooms, 52 meeting rooms, three expo halls, and six outdoor spaces. 

Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa Prepares to Kick Off Multi-Million-Dollar Room Renovation 

Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa in New Mexico recently announced a multi-million-dollar renovation to its guestrooms, kicking off in January 2025 and expected to be completed in March 2025. 

Located on 500 acres on the Pueblo of Santa Ana, situated between Santa Fe and Albuquerque and adjacent to the Sandia Mountains along the Rio Grande, the resort offers an upscale Southwest destination for business and leisure visitors, with 350 guest rooms; more than 54,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, including the 12,000-sq.-ft. Tamaya Ballroom and 25,000 sq. ft. of outdoor meeting space; the Tamaya Mist Spa; the 18-hole championship Twin Warriors Golf Club; The Stables at Tamaya; signature cuisine at Corn Maiden and Santa Ana Café; and the Tamaya Cultural Learning Center.  

Reflective of traditions and style of the Santa Ana Pueblo, the renovated room décor incorporates the designs and colors of Native woven fabrics, the creation of pueblo clay pottery, and the deep red of seasoned red chili peppers combined with hues from harvested blue corn. Rooms will feature either a king-sized or two queen-sized beds, a large show closet and wardrobe, and an integrated beverage center. 

Updated bathrooms will offer an expansive vanity wall, marble countertops, and back lighting surrounding a large circular mirror, while a sliding barn door complementing the color scheme separates the bathroom from the living area. 

Additionally, the resort’s corridors will feature new carpeting and wall coverings to complement the newly designed guestrooms. 

“We are pleased to announce the renovation of our guestrooms,” said Claudia Wattenberg, general manager of Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa. “We will combine the modern with the traditional. We will offer state-of-the-art technologies including large 65-inch 4K smart ultra-HD flat-screen televisions and advanced data portals.” 

Steeped in the ancient culture of the Native American Tamayame tribe, Hyatt Regency Tamaya Resort & Spa offers signature experiences such as horseback rides exploring the Rio Grande, Bosque cottonwood forest, and cultural sites. The resort also showcases educational and cultural experiences highlighting the Santa Ana Pueblo, including activities led by tribe members, traditional bread baking, and a comprehensive Tamaya Cultural Learning Center displaying Native American artifacts and art pieces throughout the property.
