Bellagio is set to undergo a large-scale transformation of its rooms and the new look will be inspired by the ambience of Lake Como in Italy
Almost 25 years after it opened for business, Bellagio, an iconic resort in Las Vegas, is set to undergo a large-scale transformation of its rooms and the new look will be inspired by the ambience of Lake Como in Italy.
According to a press statement by Bellagio, which is a subsidiary of MGM Resorts International, one of the largest resort owners in the region, will redesign all the 819 guest rooms and 104 suites in its Spa Tower at a cost of USD 110 million. The renovation is slated for completion in October, with the first collection of rooms available for guest stays beginning in July.

“Bellagio’s commitment to delivering unparalleled accommodations, experiences and guest service for our discerning guests from around the world is the hallmark of our brand promise,” says Ann Hoff, President & COO of Bellagio.
“The Spa Tower’s beautiful and luxurious new suites and guest rooms will reinforce our position as one of the hospitality industry’s premier destinations,” she adds.
The statement adds that the renovation has been designed by New York City-based interior design atelier Champalimaud Design in partnership with MGM Resorts International Design Group. It adds that the Bellagio Spa Tower suites will feature sophisticated design elements, custom furnishings and art influenced by high Italian style and couture, while colour palettes draw inspiration from the natural vibrancy of Lake Como and the Alps.
Striking suite corridors with dramatic midnight blue doors and glowing handmade Italian light fixtures will set the tone for the arrival experience. Within the Spa Tower’s plush suites, neutral-colored wall coverings will create a chic backdrop for custom furnishings and accent pieces in colours inspired by Northern Italy and varying by suite type, it says.
The resort says that after the renovation, its well-appointed bedrooms will feature tufted cream-coloured curved headboards, soft uplighting, custom TV armoires in a sycamore wood grain and floral touches in an homage to Italian fashion. Curvilinear sofas, benches and chairs will bring a whimsical yet comfortable elegance to spacious living areas, says the statement.
Within the suites’ luxe bathrooms, guests will find custom vanities thoughtfully integrated with lighted mirrors and upscale white marble surfaces, as well as motion-sensor lights for convenience and comfort.
“We wanted to create a residential aesthetic with the timeless sense of luxury that is uniquely Bellagio. We found inspiration in the colours of Lake Como’s surrounding flora and the classical style of the building’s architecture,” says Winston Kong, Partner at Champalimaud Design.
Bellagio has recently completed remodelling of over 2,500 rooms in its main tower. The huge property, built at a cost of USD 1.6 billion, boasts of 3,933 rooms, including 510 suites. The hotel says that in 2024, resort-wide guest room enhancements will culminate with the redesign of the Bellagio Tower’s approximately 400 suites, a project that also will be brought to life by Champalimaud Design.
