When the Catamaran Resort Hotel, on the scenic
shores of Mission Bay in San Diego, underwent a recent renovation, they removed
an aging cocktail lounge and replaced it with an upscale luxury spa. Complementing the resort’s lush tropical
decor, the 9,300-square-foot retreat features a custom porcelain mosaic floor
mural with a sea life theme, brought to life with glass accents and a peaceful
palette of greens, blues and purples.
The mural extends throughout the facility, creating a seamless flow
between hallways, steam rooms, restrooms and treatment areas of the spa.

- tradition.
