On November 20, 2004 , all of the Deluxe Oceanfront Rooms will be completed and ready to take “beach living” to a new level. The overriding palette of the rooms is white to reflect the sand and light of Jamaica . White walls, a white peaked ceiling and white tile floors with a matte finish set the tone. The four-poster king-sized beds are mahogany-stained bamboo draped in a white net and made with white sheets of 300-count Egyptian cotton. Also in mahogany stained bamboo is a sumptuous chaise lounge, which is finished with a white slipcover. A white coffee table, sofa chair, desk chair, two bedside tables, and armoire are accented with throws and pillows in splashes of tropical colors such as hot pink, turquoise, blue, and yellow. Brass and nickel-plated chrome finish lamps lend a glow over all and a mahogany desk completes the look. The furnishings are from Ralph Lauren's Home Design Studio and crafted either in the U.S. or in Jamaica. Ralph Lauren, using fixtures by Waterworks in the sleek nickel-plated chrome-finish for which the company is known, also designed the new, spacious bathrooms. Large, white bathtubs are freestanding and showers are separate. The wood walls with tongue-in-groove have all been painted white, topping the white tile floors. Touches of tropical colors complement those in the bedroom. Windows in the rooms overlooking the sea and beach are shaded by white awnings continuing the theme from within. A look that at once defines serenity and luxurious space. While these new accommodations are decidedly low-key to epitomize a freshness and a beach ambience, their accent is on comfort and an escape from commercialism. The newly designed Deluxe Oceanfront Rooms are on the second floor of the Pineapple House Hotel. In 2005, Ralph Lauren will re-design the Superior Oceanfront Rooms found on the first floor. They will include the addition of small wooden balconies or verandahs, entered through French doors.
