Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa opens

Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa has opened in the Disney Springs Resort Area in Lake Buena Vista, FL, following a $25-million renovation and rebranding from the B Resort & Spa. The property is managed by Davidson Hospitality Group.

The full-service resort features 394 guestrooms; more than 25,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor meeting space; a zero-entry pool and hot tub; and signature farm-to-table restaurant, American Kitchen Bar & Grill.

Newly renovated amenities include the Spa + Wellness Retreat, a 5,000 sq. ft. outdoor terrace and a fitness studio. As an Official Walt Disney World Hotel, guests have access to a theme park shuttle service and early entry into Walt Disney World theme parks.

“We are delighted to offer a vibrant stay with elevated amenities and engaging activities,” said Charlie Kingston, GM. “Our staff is deeply connected to the neighborhood, an essential experience at Renaissance Hotels, and we look forward to providing premium services for all of our guests.”

The resort tapped New York-based hospitality design firm Stonehill Taylor to complete the interior design for the renovation. Along with new carpeting, signage and light fixtures in the corridors, the rooms feature a ceiling design that emulates a sun canopy. The resort’s pool bar unifies the lobby’s tropical theme with geometric palm-inspired tile, pool loungers and umbrellas.

The resort is 13 miles from Orlando International Airport and is a mile from Disney Springs.
