The lakeside Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World is set to open for business in Q3 2014.

Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts entered into a joint venture with Silverstein Properties and Dune Real Estate partners to develop the resort’s 444 guest rooms – including 68 suites. Construction began in December 2011.

Four Seasons bought the land from Disney in August 2008 and will retain a 30 per cent ownership interest in the project in addition to operating the resort.

Mexico City-based Grupo Financiero Inbursa – one of the largest banks in Mexico – agreed to provide US$190m (€137, £113) in construction financing for the project.

There will be a 14,000sq ft (1,300sq m) 18-treatment room spa which includes two couples’ rooms and a beauty salon.

The spa comprises an experience shower – complete with an ice exfoliant feature – as well as a steamroom, separate private patios and whirlpools for men and women.

There is also a 92ft (28m) oasis pool reserved for adults-only within the resort. It overlooks Lake Buena Vista and is equipped with underwater audio as well as adjacent spa pools.

Other water facilities can be found in the family-friendly Explorer Island section of the resort. This area consists of a family pool, splash zone flumes.

There will also be four restaurants, a business centre and approximately 37,750sq ft (3,500sq m) of meeting space within the resort.

Four Seasons also manages the resort’s newly renovated Osprey Ridge, Audubon-certified Tom Fazio golf course which is set to open in September 2014.

Located south east of Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park in a secluded part of the resort, the Four Seasons Orlando is edged by a natural Everglade sanctuary – home to indigenous wildlife.
