Officials of Richfield Hospitality, a hotel management company, announced that it will oversee a multimillion-dollar renovation of the 475-room Best Western Lakeside Hotel in Kissimmee, Fla., as it converts it to the Maingate Lakeside Resort, an independent hotel.
The refurbishment will include upgrades to hotel rooms and public spaces.
“To best suit the needs of our guests and associates, we will become an independent hotel as we continually review how to maintain a leadership position with business and leisure travelers to the greater Orlando marketplace,” said Greg Mount, president of Richfield Hospitality.
The resort is located 1.8 miles from the main gate entrance to Walt Disney World Resort and just minutes south of Orlando. The hotel features 3,200 square feet of meeting space, several swimming pools, exercise facilities and an on-site miniature golf course.
