The luminous coastal palette reflects the resort’s waterfront setting on Goat Island, where PETERMAX Co. helped transform the interiors and outdoor spaces.
The New York Times reports on the transformation of a former Hyatt Regency on Newport’s Goat Island into Gurney’s Newport Resort and Marina. The article specifically credits the hospitality design firm PETERMAX Co. with helping the new owners reimagine the resort’s interiors and outdoor spaces.
The $18 million renovation repositioned the 257-room waterfront property as a year-round luxury destination. The resort’s redesigned spaces included the Rose Island Ballroom, guest and recreational areas, outdoor gathering spaces and hospitality venues overlooking Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay.
The article places the project within Gurney’s expansion beyond Montauk and Newport’s growing luxury tourism, conference and destination-wedding markets. It also highlights the resort’s approximately 27,000 square feet of event space, marina improvements and prominent coastal setting.
