Winter Park, Florida - October 16, 2013 - The Alfond Inn's Art in the Park package is a great way to discover Florida's newest boutique hotel and the rich cultural environs of Winter Park, the hidden gem in Central Florida less than 15 minutes from Orlando.

ART IN THE PARK

For more than a century, collecting and philanthropy have been at the heart of Winter Park, a small city known for its chain of lakes, lush urban plantings, and winding streets lined with early 20th century homes and mansions.

"Thanks to its world class museums, Winter Park is one of the most important artistic beacons in the state," says Deanne Gabel, General Manager of The Alfond Inn. "Given our own commitment to exhibit contemporary art in The Alfond Inn, we wanted to create a package that would welcome visitors to explore this lesser known side of Florida."

Winter Park is home to the Cornell Fine Arts Museum on the campus of Rollins College, the Polasek Museum and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, which has the most expansive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany in the world. The Alfond Inn itself is the showcase for The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art for Rollins College, a 100-plus piece collection owned by longtime Rollins College donors and alumni Barbara and Ted Alfond. Works by contemporary artists such as Tracey Emin, Joseph Kosuth and Maya Lin can be seen at the Inn.

The Alfond Inn's Art in the Park package includes:

• Two nights in a Classic King Room, based on double occupancy
• One $100 credit at The Alfond's Hamilton's Kitchen, featuring Executive Chef Chris Windus' Floridian-inspired menu of signature dishes
• Admission to the Cornell Fine Art Museum
• Two tickets to The Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, plus 20% off one item at the museum gift shop
• Guided tour of The Alfond Contemporary Art Collection
