Nemacolin Resort Renovation

As luxury hospitality evolves, guests expect immersive, curated experiences that go beyond traditional amenities. Resorts must deliver a compelling sense of place while maintaining operational excellence. For Nemacolin, a luxury resort nestled in Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands, this meant reimagining outdated venues to reflect the property’s evolving identity and elevated brand standards. Nemacolin sought to create a cohesive suite of guest experiences that would elevate the resort as a world-class destination for experiential hospitality.

Gensler partnered with Nemacolin to reimagine a wide range of spaces. At the Grand Lodge, a bold, sculptural glass canopy signals a sense of arrival. Across the property, a series of theatrical spaces blends performance, fine dining, and glamour. Nightcap, formerly a casual sports bar, has been reborn as an immersive cabaret club. PJ’s Ice Cream Parlor, a whimsical venue for families, bursts with color and interactive features. Meeting and event spaces have been upgraded with refined finishes and acoustics.

Each space supports a distinct guest journey while maintaining a coherent design vision rooted in luxury and playfulness. The redesigned arrival sequence enhances first impressions and operational flow. Event and meeting areas now reflect Nemacolin’s elevated hospitality standards, supporting a wider range of programming. Together, these transformations position Nemacolin as an ever-evolving destination for immersive, world-class experiences.
