Drawing inspiration from the distinct Lowcountry region, the transformed rooms and common spaces will seamlessly blend elements of
indoor and outdoor luxury
Hilton Head, SC (February 28, 2024) – Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront
Resort has unveiled the completion of its highly anticipated $26 million
property-wide renovation. Nestled along the serene South Carolina
shoreline, the resort’s expansive renovation began in August 2022 and
encompasses a refreshed front entrance, elevated lobby, 323 upgraded
guestrooms and refreshed balconies and an expanded courtyard.
Boasting a prime oceanfront location, three championship golf courses,
access to 11 lagoon trails, eastern seaboard sun-facing pools and
unmatched wellness amenities, Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort has
long been revered as an idyllic escape in the coastal destination. The
property’s latest transformation is its first since March 2015, when
the new pool complex that includes two family pools, an adult pool and
kids’ splash pad was reimagined.
“The completion of this top-to-bottom renovation marks an exciting
chapter for our resort,” said Calvin Belknap, General Manager of Omni
Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort. “Hilton Head is evolving as a vacation
destination, and we look forward to offering an updated experience
that’s reminiscent of the traditional southern hospitality we’re
known for with contemporary look and feel that appeals to a new
generation of travelers.”
Inspired by the signature surroundings that embody the Lowcountry
region, the design team wanted to stay true to the area’s flora and
fauna for the interiors, pulling elements found in the local
architecture, specifically the trademark haint blue porch ceilings. To
evoke a more residential feel, traditional and transitional furnishings
were merged to complement the updated guestrooms which are embellished
with ocean blue and green hues throughout. The focus was to blend the
timeless southern style it’s known for with a contemporary display of
coastal elegance.
MAKING A GRAND ENTRANCE
Setting the tone for a comfortable and elegant experience before
stepping foot inside, guests are welcomed by a transformed front
entrance that’s comprised of lush landscaping and subtle lighting that
creates a warm yet awe-inspiring ambiance.
It’s upon entering the front door where guests are then invited to
indulge in refined elegance with a refreshed, open-air lobby. Marrying
the allure of coastal charm with a simplistic yet luxurious setting, the
lobby’s décor is inspired by the sea and features a blend of natural
textures, muted tones, and tasteful nautical accents. A prelude to an
unparalleled retreat, the expansive, oversized windows spaced throughout
showcase panoramic views of the tropical palm trees and beautiful
property.
NEW ROOMS WITH A VIEW
Exuding an atmosphere of tranquility, the new guestrooms are adorned
with elegant furnishings that nod to the natural beauty of the Carolina
coastline. Each room harmoniously blends modern aesthetics and classic
beach elements. A haven to unwind and immerse in as it pulls in the
blues of the ocean into the headboard, sofas, and green accent pillows
pulling from the low-country vegetation. From the silhouette of the
headboard to the turned spindle legs of the bench, the furniture pulls
from traditional residential pieces, while the caning accents of the
dresser, wicker desk, and guestroom chair help to bring the tropical
local into the guestroom. The custom dresser and desk combination piece
marry white oak wood with the stone top painted blue dresser, tying the
furniture with the architectural accent pieces. The textural, patterned
carpet is reminiscent of the sandy beach, both inviting and relaxing.
Meticulously designed to create an outdoor sanctuary, the redeveloped
suite balconies provide the perfect haven to take in spectacular sunsets
while enjoying the gentle sea breeze. Combining modern comfort with
coastal aesthetics, the new balconies are outfitted with new sliding
glass doors and railings, making it the ideal setting for a morning
coffee or evening cocktails.
A BEAUTIFUL COURTSHIP
A coastal oasis located at the heart of the resort, the courtyard is a
testament to the thoughtful design and craftsmanship involved in this
renovation. Encapsulating both soothing beach vibes with swaying palm
trees and a garden atmosphere with vibrant blooms and oak trees, the
courtyard now boasts a low-country charm found in furnishings, lighting,
and landscaping throughout the courtyard.
Enveloped in a tapestry of Southern coastal colors, guests are beckoned
to congregate and explore the meandering pathways, yard games such as
chess, checkers, ping pong, cornhole, fire pits, and more. Seating
areas, adorned with comfortable furnishings such as rocking chairs
nestled around the firepits, a combination of lounge sofa groupings,
oversized club chairs and wingback chairs, and wicker rockers perfect for an
afternoon siesta under the palm tree or a place to read a book. A
subdued color palette of greens, taupes, and creams was chosen to blend
beautifully with the natural colors of the surrounding landscaping and
trees. Twinkle lights strung across the courtyard, create a beautiful
atmosphere at sunset and into the evening further enhancing the
courtyard charm can be found throughout the area, which is also a premier
wedding and event venue accommodating up to 150 guests.
