Flamingo Resort + Spa

A Mid-Century Marvel Gets a Modern Makeover

An iconic landmark of Santa Rosa community, the Flamingo Resort + Spa, an enduring icon since 1957, undergoes a transformative revival, breathing new modern life into its lasting charm. With a legacy spanning over six decades, this resort embarked on a visionary journey of strategic enhancements to preserve its mid-century modern allure. The meticulous 40,000 sq. ft. public space renovation seamlessly weaves together past and present, simplifying previous alterations to harmonize with the distinct character of the resort.

Undergoing a metamorphosis, a new porte cochere and hotel lobby strategically emerge, enhancing the guest arrival experience while paying homage to the resort’s architectural heritage. The restaurant, a focal point of revitalization, introduces a new dining terrace, elegantly responding to the original radial layout and seamlessly connecting with the interior courtyard and pool terrace. The five guest room wings encircling the courtyard undergo a modern renaissance, receiving contemporary amenities and a rebranding that resonates with the timeless mid-century modern character. In this rebirth, Flamingo Resort + Spa not only preserves its historic roots but elevates the overall guest experience through enhanced circulation, thoughtfully designed landscapes, and captivating lighting.
