The hotel also revamped 13,000 square feet of meeting space, including its Grand Ballroom and Junior Ballroom. The spaces were completely redesigned with new paint, carpet, lighting, furnishings, and window treatments. The space can now be arranged in various ways to host up to 500 guests, according to the company.

The hotel joins several others that have been renovated or newly constructed in the region over the past several months.

In May, Cambria Hotel announced the opening of its second Orlando location at 6801 Visitors Circle, joining the company’s other location at the Orlando International Airport. The 118-room hotel features a rooftop lounge with a 360-degree view of the city, as well as a rooftop swimming pool.
