The B Orlando Resort and Spa is a 394-room non-Disney resort on the property of Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It is located in the Disney Springs Resort Area[2] on Hotel Plaza Boulevard.
History
[edit]The resort opened as The Royal Inn on October 1, 1972. It was the first non-Disney operated hotel to open at Walt Disney World. The land the hotel sits on is owned by Disney.
In the 1970s, the hotel's name was changed to the Hotel Royal Plaza.[3] The resort closed in August 2004, due to damage from Hurricane Charley. It reopened in 2006 after a major renovation.
On June 4, 2012, B Hotels & Resorts bought the property and renovated it. It reopened as the B Resort & Spa on June 16, 2014.[4]
While the resort was recently renovated and is listed as part of Marriott's Renaissance Hotels brand, the property remains independently owned by B Hotels & Resorts, which has managed it since acquiring it in 2012.
The rebranding under Marriott's Renaissance Hotels is part of a marketing and operational partnership, not a change in ownership. The property still retains its unique identity and commitment to the B Hotels & Resorts philosophy, despite the affiliation with Marriott.
Facilities
[edit]The hotel has one restaurant, American Kitchen, a poolside bar and lounge, in-room dining, as well as The Grove Cafe’ and Brew for lighter fare. It also features the a Spa, which offers a wide array of various spa treatments, and has six different meeting or wedding venues.[2]
