Located at Universal Orlando Resort, the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel transports guests to the scenic waterfront of Portofino, Italy, with its charming architecture, cobblestone streets and vibrant façade. To preserve this immersive guest experience, Nassal has partnered with the hotel for over 20 years, providing ongoing thematic painting and scenic restoration services.
Florida’s harsh climate, including intense sun, humidity and seasonal storms, takes a toll on the exterior façade, requiring expert care and reapplication of scenic finishes. Nassal has been selected multiple times to perform full-scale exterior repainting, with the most recent project covering over 300,000 square feet of scenic surface area.
More than 15 of our in-house scenic painters spent 14 months hand-painting trompe l’oeil details, aged plaster effects and architectural accents that give the hotel its signature look. By self-performing all scenic painting, Nassal ensures quality control, artistic integrity and long-lasting finishes that enhance the visual storytelling and protect the resort’s investment.
Through every repainting cycle, Nassal helps maintain the timeless beauty of this luxury destination, delivering immersive theming solutions that meet both aesthetic and environmental demands.
