Loews Hotels & Co, in partnership with Universal Orlando, continues to expand its hotel portfolio in Orlando as part of the destination’s unprecedented growth. Their commitment to growth comes at a time when Visit Orlando recently announced a record 72 million visitors for 2017.
“We continue to make deliberate and optimistic investment in additional hotels in Orlando, while also finding opportunities for growth in many key markets around the U.S.,” says Chairman and CEO Jonathan Tisch. “Loews Hotels & Co has $2 billion invested in hotel developments at Universal Orlando Resort as well as in other markets around the country, including Arlington, Texas, Kansas City and St. Louis, Mo. and there’s even more to come.”
In Orlando, Universal’s Aventura Hotel will open this August, while the new Universal’s Endless Summer Resort, made up of Surfside Inn and Suites and Dockside Inn and Suites, will begin opening in 2019 and be fully open in 2020. At that point, Loews Hotels & Co will co-own and operate 9,000 hotel rooms in the Orlando market.
Reservations are now being accepted at Surfside Inn and Suites, where guests will enjoy 750 bright and beachy guest rooms, including 390 two-bedroom suites that will sleep up to six guests. The property will feature a surfboard-shaped, resort-style pool, fitness centre, breakfast, lunch and dinner dining outlet and a lobby coffee bar.
These three new properties will join the other on-site and well-established hotels that Loews has operated successfully as part of its joint venture spanning nearly two decades with Universal Orlando. Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel, Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Loews Sapphire Falls Resort and Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort each offer immersive theming, a distinct guest experience and exclusive guest benefits.
