Walt Disney World Swan Reserve Hotel

Keim prides itself on the ability to color match to any specification to meet the needs of our customers. For instance, when Walt Disney World Resorts called on the Gensler Architecture firm to build the new Swan Reserve Hotel they went in with a very specific vision. The goal was to create a premier destination for the business and leisure traveler through an upscale environment enriched with versatile amenities that would meet the standards of a property in the Marriott Autograph Collection.

Certain expectations come when designing a boutique hotel and those expectations are only elevated when that hotel is a Disney property. Luckily Gensler and hotel owners Tishman Hotel & Realty had a beautiful solution already in mind. Inspired by the theme of wellspring and referencing the Swan and Dolphin — both water creatures — the Swan Reserve greets guests with a rippling, glassy façade accented with panels of turquoise and shades of cyan. To facilitate the intricate mosaic patterns on the building facade a unique system of concrete panels was precast and painted offsite to be installed at location.It was a unique and innovative solution to a complicated problem that we were proud to be a part of.
