International Plaza Completes Phase One Renovation
Resort Unveils Luxurious Rooms & Amenities
FEBRUARY, 27, 2008. A redefined vacation experience awaits visitors this spring at International Plaza Resort & Spa in the heart of Orlando, Florida. The premier resort today completed the first phase of its multimillion-dollar transformation, unveiling 120 newly remodeled guestrooms and suites nestled among 28 acres of tropical landscape. With exotic design features and state-of-the-art amenities, International Plaza Resort & Spa's luxurious additions offer the first glimpse of an emerging travel oasis in one of the world's most popular destinations.
The 1,100-room International Plaza Resort & Spa is located in Orlando's main convention and entertainment corridor, next door to SeaWorld and directly across the street from SeaWorld's new Aquatica waterpark. Convenient to the Orlando Convention Center and Universal Studios, the resort is also minutes from world-class dining, shopping and entertainment venues.
Suite Expectations
With the first phase of its makeover complete, International Plaza Resort & Spa boasts 120 remodeled guest rooms and luxurious suites. The remaining accommodations are slated for completion later this year. Like the entire resort, the new rooms showcase a blend of contemporary amenities and natural design features inspired by the tropical island of Bali. Three distinct floor plans exude a peaceful ambiance, with native dark woods and bamboo furnishings, as well as soothing color palates, natural water features and Indonesian stone ceramics.
Designed for couples and families, the 340-square-foot Double Resort room includes two double beds and kitchenette with microwave, coffeemaker and in-room refrigerator. Also measuring 340 square feet, the King Resort room offers a king-sized bed, full kitchenette and separate living area, offering additional work space or a place to unwind after a day of meetings.
To accommodate larger parties, International Plaza Resort & Spa offers luxurious One Bay suites. Each 700 square-foot, two-bedroom suite includes king bed accommodations and features a spacious living and dining area, separate guest bathroom, full kitchen and bar area for entertaining guests. Sliding glass doors open onto a private terrace overlooking the resort's natural landscape.
Each elegantly appointed room features granite countertops, luxury bed linens, and oversized mahogany workstations with ergonomic desk chairs. Sleek, contemporary bathrooms include mosaic glass tiling, brushed stainless steel accents and sliding bamboo panels for privacy. Select ground floor suites also feature hardwood floors. Guests enjoy state-of-the-art amenities that include 32-inch flat-screen televisions, wireless Internet access, iPod receptive radio and more.
Personalized Resort Experience
Phase One transformations also include major landscaping enhancements to offer a variety of environments throughout the 28-acre property. Within International Plaza Resort & Spa's lush, natural setting, guests can create their own personalized vacation experience - without feeling confined to a single area of the resort. Quiet solace can be found in a palm-shaded hammock or beneath a secluded Polynesian palapa hut. Families enjoy quality time on the putting green or in one of several intimate gathering spaces. Three sparkling pools have also been enhanced with interactive water features, private relaxation areas and brick paver-lined sundecks and walkways.
As International Plaza Resort & Spa's dramatic makeover unfolds, visitors can look forward many more enhancements. Future debuts include signature dining options and state-of-the-art meeting facilities equipped with the latest business services and amenities. Answering the call for rest and relaxation, a full-service day spa will offer the latest techniques in rejuvenating spa treatments, from deep tissue massages and facials to custom manicures, pedicures and aromatherapy.
