Developed in partnership with owner Flag Luxury Group and Unicorp National Developments, InterContinental Orlando will welcome guests with elevated amenities and culturally rich experiences that exemplify the InterContinental brand’s evolution while providing insider expertise to all the destination has to offer.

Located on Orlando’s renowned International Drive, InterContinental Orlando will exude approachable sophistication and present guests with distinct offerings designed to complement the vibrancy of the city.

The new hotel will feature 700 guestrooms, including 84 suites. Guests seeking inspired epicurean experiences will enjoy the property’s five restaurants and bars, including a full-service restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a lobby bar and lounge, a coffee shop as well as a pool bar and grill.

The hotel’s 15,000 square feet of spa and wellness amenities, inclusive of a pool and fitness center, will encourage guests to relax or energize as they wish.

InterContinental Orlando also will feature approximately 106,000 square feet of well-appointed meeting and event space in addition to a business center and signature Club InterContinental lounge.

Jolyon Bulley, Chief Executive Officer, Americas at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Flag Luxury Group and Unicorp National Developments to bring the pioneering InterContinental brand to Orlando. The city’s energy and expansive entertainment experiences continue to make it one of the most exciting destinations in the country.
