Hilton begins construction of luxurious timeshare development
A ceremonial groundbreaking marked the official start of construction of the third Hilton Grand Vacations Club resort in Orlando, Florida. When completed, the new development will be Hilton’s largest and most luxurious timeshare resort in Florida.
The new Hilton Grand Vacations Club resort will be operated by Hilton Grand Vacations Company, LLC the timeshare division of Hilton Hotels Corporation. Upon the anticipated opening in January 2009, the resort will strengthen the company’s existing Orlando portfoli the 516-unit Hilton Grand Vacations Club at SeaWorld International Center and the 440-unit Hilton Grand Vacations Club on International Drive.
Projected to ultimately include 1,200 units, the first of seven planned phases will feature 141 one- and two-bedroom timeshare accommodations. Upon completion, the resort is designed to provide a walking paths, a super pool with interactive water features, full-service spa, poolside restaurant and bar, fitness center, deli and gift shop. The resort will be built on a 52-acre site within the sprawling master planned development of Midtown, a centrally located 214-acre project proposed to include a variety of upscale lakefront amenities including restaurants, boutiques, office space, and accommodations.
The official groundbreaking ceremony was hosted by Antoine Dagot, Executive Vice President, Hilton Hotels Corporation and President and CEO, Hilton Grand Vacations Company. According to Dagot, the new Hilton Grand Vacations Club resort will bring the Orlando vacation experience to the next level while perpetuating Hilton’s leadership in the market.
“For more than 12 years, Hilton has recognized the significance of Orlando as one of the world’s top vacation destinations through its commitment to develop extraordinary timeshare resorts here. The quality and success of our first two Club projects inspired the development of a third Orlando resort, and the new project is already receiving an enthusiastic response,” said Dagot.
Among the honored guests were the reigning Miss Florida, Allison Kreiger and participants in the “Vacations for Vets” program. Since 2006, Hilton Grand Vacations has partnered with the American Resort Development Association (ARDA) to offer the Vacations for Vets program. Through this initiative, Hilton Grand Vacations works with liaisons at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center to provide complimentary vacation accommodations for U.S. military personnel recovering from injuries sustained while serving the country. Hilton timeshare owners have supported this initiative by donating their ClubPoints (the “currency” of Hilton Grand Vacations Club) to help make available luxury resort stays for wounded service members – providing these veterans an opportunity to relax and enjoy vacation time with their families.
