Francois Frossard has been appointed Executive Interior Designer at Palace Resorts
Francois Frossard of Francois Frossard Design (FFD), one of Miami’s foremost authorities on architecture and interior design, has been appointed Executive Interior Designer of five-star, all-inclusive resort company, Palace Resorts. As lead designer for Palace Resorts, Francois is responsible for the overall design and aesthetic of all resort locations, which includes eight properties throughout Mexico and the Caribbean, including the company’s first-ever resort in Jamaica, debuting in early 2015. Francois first became familiar with the Palace Resorts portfolio in 2012 when he oversaw the redesign of the “Sunrise” section at Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort in Cancun. Here Francois introduced cutting-edge designs to the newly expanded resort, including a dedicated lobby; NOIR nightclub; Sky Bar lounge; and two signature restaurants, Momo and La Gondola. Following the success of Sunrise, Francois later designed the “Nizuc” section of Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort Cancun, including the lobby; beauty salon; standard rooms; Presidential suites (a residential rental concept later adopted by other properties); Nuptials suites; and new dining venues, Manglar, Sweet & Coffee Shop, The Tea Room, and The English Pub. This design effort led to several other projects with Palace Resorts, including the multimillion-dollar enhancement project at the Moon Palace Jamaica Grande (opening in early 2015), the company’s first resort location outside of Mexico. Francois elevated the property’s appeal with chic Caribbean décor and design reflective of the resort’s Jamaican setting. The property includes five dining destinations and newly expanded meeting spaces, all of which Francois designed in his typical grand style. A tropical haven that is both respective and reflective of its Jamaican backdrop, Moon Palace Jamaica Grande is expected to raise the bar on the all-inclusive category with the help of Francois’ designs.
