LEGOLAND Florida to build new hotel
LEGOLAND Florida has announced a new hotel will open at the theme park in 2015.
General manager Adrian Jones said: "The opening of a LEGOLAND Hotel will transition LEGOLAND Florida from a single-day visit theme park to a multi-day resort destination.
"This will serve as a catalyst for future economic development in Polk County.
The four-story LEGOLAND Hotel, will be situated next to Lake Eloise, will have 152 brightly colored and highly themed rooms and suites, LEGO décor; interactive play areas; a pool and a restaurant.
It will add 250 building-related jobs during the construction, and another 250 jobs to its employee base to staff the new hotel upon completion.
This will be the fifth LEGOLAND Hotel in the world joining LEGOLAND California, LEGOLAND Windsor and LEGOLAND Billund hotels. LEGOLAND Malaysia Hotel will soon open its doors.
LEGOLAND Florida has more than 50 rides, shows, attractions, a water park, and the all-new LEGO World of Chima presented by Cartoon Network.
