World's largest Doubletree opens in Orlando
Doubletree Hotels has opened the brand's largest hotel in Orlando, Florida, US.
Formerly the International Plaza Resort and Spa and occupying 28 acres (11.3 hectares) in Orlando's tourism corridor, the 1,094 room Doubletree Resort Orlando - International Drive has undergone a US$35m (£21.3m, 23.7m euro) makeover. The hotel will be operated by New York-based UrbanAmerica under a franchise agreement with a subsidiary of Hilton Worldwide. Boston-based Pyramid Hotel Group will be managing the property.
Amenities include three pools; three dining options, including a full-service restaurant and outdoor eateries; a casual, upscale bar; a fitness centre; a business centre; a children's game lounge; a nine-hole mini-golf course and putting green and a full-service day spa. Bedrooms range from Resort Guestrooms, Tower Accommodations and Premium Accommodations to more than twenty suites ranging from junior-, one- and two-bedroom configurations to the property's Premium Suites. The latter include a 700sq. ft (65sq m), two-bedroom suite with living and dining areas that feature galley-like kitchens.
The Oceans Conference Center in the main building of the resort totals more than 20,000sq ft (1,858sq m) of function space, with the largest ballroom on the property at 12,000sq ft (1,114sq m) and capable of catering for groups of up to 1,000 guests. Nearby, the freestanding Lakes Conference Center provides nearly 13,000sq ft (1,207sq m) of event space, including executive conference rooms, an outdoor patio and pre-function space. The 10,000sq ft (929sq m) Great Lakes Ballroom seats up to 1,000 guests, while the Tower Terrace provides an outdoor setting overlooking the resort's tropical landscape.
