True to its name and design, Celeste is a hotel inspired by the stars. This transcendent experience is a true expedition through time and space, with celestial influence from corner to corner. In addition to the notable rocket wall in the lobby area, each guest room is appointed with curated astrological art from the UCF School of Visual Arts and Design (SVAD).
“Celeste holds a very special place in my heart, and I’m so proud to finally see our unique vision come to life,” said General Manager, Mark Tomlinson. “Through luminous decor, cosmic accent pieces, and furnishings inspired by the wonders of the galaxy, this concept is bound to be a stand-out in the Orlando area.”
