Le Désert Doré is a wellness focused luxury hospitality design located within the AC Marriott Hotel in Scottsdale, AZ. Inspired by French, Mediterranean, and Southwestern influences, the project creates a calm and restorative environment using natural light, warm desert tones, and organic materials.
The design includes wellness suites, meditation and relaxation rooms, communal lounges, a health focused restaurant, flexible work/living spaces, and outdoor courtyards. Clear circulation, accessibility, and strong indoor outdoor connections support guest comfort and ease of use.
Sustainable and health conscious finish materials reinforce the project’s focus on well being. Overall, Le Désert Doré provides a peaceful, luxurious experience that promotes renewal, comfort, and connection to the surrounding desert landscape.

Bio
I’m a senior Interior Architecture and Design student at Colorado State University with hands on experience in space planning and material sourcing. I’m especially interested in hospitality design because it allows me to combine creativity with growing skills in design software, visual communication, and project organization. I enjoy learning how to design spaces that are both functional and beautiful while gaining experience in managing the details that bring a project together.
