COLLECTION: French Connection – Engineered Hardwood Flooring
SPECIES: European White Oak
COLOR: Toulouse
Award winning wine, an internationally renown chef, complimentary use of a Mercedes, and The Garrison Collection floors are just a few of the luxurious new features of this recently updated Forbes Four Star resort in Carmel Valley, CA!
We don’t typically advertise The Garrison Collection as luxury flooring because our floors do not have a “luxury price tag”. Rather, our high-end reputation has been formed through 50+ years of developing innovate methods to reduce manufacturing cost, while consistently delivering premium quality products. This is evidenced by the fact that our floors have been featured in some of the most luxurious homes and commercial properties in the USA! Today’s Garrison Showcase is a stunning example!
Listed in Travel and Leisure’s “World’s Best Hotels”, Conde Nast Traveler’s “Top Hotels”, and Wine Spectator Grand Award recipient The Bernardus Lodge & Spa unveiled a four-month, multi million-dollar transformation in Spring 2015 featuring The Garrison Collection hardwood flooring! Since then, it has received accolades and recognition from numerous other leading voices in the luxury and travel community including the illustrious RobbReport and ForbesLife!
We’re incredibly proud, not only that our French Connection flooring is featured in this magnificent property, but that it truly sets the tone throughout the 57 guestroom resort, as shown in the excerpts below.
“In April, Carmel Valley’s Bernardus Lodge & Spa unveiled an all-new look with gray-stained French-oak floors, mercury-glass chandeliers, and Italian stonework.” – Robb Report, Front Runners July 2015: California Dreaming
“The main lobby gives you your first taste of the ritzy yet rustic refresh throughout the property. A glitzy light fixture is the first eye-catcher followed by warm up-lighting, Italian stonework, oak floors and elegant furniture which permeates into each of their 57 guestrooms.” – Central Coast Tourism, 5 New Features at the Revamped Bernardus Lodge & Spa
“With the goal of barefoot luxury in mind, the designers redefined the idea of a country retreat. Throughout the property, approachable materials such as stone, grass cloth and oak floors fit with the Lodge’s surroundings, while glittering glass chandeliers, mosaic tiles and modern furnishings bring a contemporary, sophisticated slant.” – SF Gate, Laid-back luxury at redesigned Bernardus Lodge
“The re-imagined rooms are fully in the 21st century, so comfortable that, if you don’t need to leave, well, you just might not for days on end… Hand-knotted rugs and side tables made from reclaimed wood and iron are both functional and aesthetically appealing, as are the limestone gas-burning fireplaces, French oak floors, and oversized Strathmore chairs.” – ForbesLife, Bernardus Lodge: Rustic Luxury In Carmel Valley
“The dramatic shift in style and interior design has also taken root in the resort’s Exhibition Kitchen, which features an upgraded presentation and interactive kitchen complete with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, and French oak floors with a distinctive contemporary flair.” – Family Travel Channel, Exhibition Kitchen Events at Bernardus Lodge & Spa
