Lone Star Spa
May 1, 2005
Designing
the entire resort
himself, McAdams drew not only upon his knowledge of
architecture and
design, but also his experience as a seasoned traveler and
spa-goer.
“So many factors have to be right in order to get a good night’s
sleep,” says McAdams. “I wanted the same beds as the Four Seasons, so
we did
loads of research to get the best match. We looked at 14
different kinds of down
pillows and all of the mattress pads and sheets
we could find.

We washed everything 10 times to see how it would wear, and then had the entire staff vote to see which was the most comfortable.” A light sleeper, McAdams was also aware of soundproofing and light control, so he made the walls extra thick and window coverings extra dark. “The rooms here have more soundproofing than the Oval Office,” he says.
Once he finished renovating the guest rooms, McAdams moved on to the public spaces. The main clubhouse comprises a yoga deck, a demo kitchen for cooking classes and events, a dining room and a lounge.
A garden library—nestled between the pool and a vegetable garden—faces the resort’s private dock.
