I do not think so. Based on website they are all the same as during my 2018 stay. If modern rooms are your thing there is the newish Savoy Palace, but I personally don't like the look of the rooms there (just based on photos). The Suites at The Cliff Bay might be what you are looking for. Both of these were under construction in 2018.

The "new" wing was built in the 1960s, so old part means 1891 old . The rooms in the "new" section have larger full sized and covered balconies and a more conventional and standard (rectangular) room shape, but the style is pretty much the same as the "old" wing. I'd guess there is a real hodge podge of room shapes and sizes in the old wing. On the plus side my room had very tall ceilings.
