Ground Broken on Two Orlando-Area Hotels

Hilton Hotels Corporation broke ground April 12 on The Waldorf=Astoria at Bonnet Creek and the Hilton Bonnet Creek Hotel, located adjacent to the Walt Disney World Resort in Bonnet Creek, Fla.

The project, expected to cost upwards of $500 million, is expected to be finished by late 2009.

The two hotels are part of a new resort development and will include a total of 125,000 square feet of meeting space, several swimming pools and a golf course.

The Hilton is expected to house 1,000 guest rooms and the Waldorf=Astoria will contain 498 guest rooms.
