Ground Breaks on Sprawling Orlando Resort

NEW YORK, N.Y.

 

Loews Hotels & Resorts have announced that the company and Universal Parks & Resorts have broken ground on Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort, currently one of the largest hotels under construction in the United States.

 

The property will be owned in a joint venture with affiliates of Universal Parks & Resorts and Loews Hotels & Resorts. Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort is scheduled to open in 2014.

 

Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort will offer 900 family suites, which include kitchen areas and 900 standard guest rooms – offering both moderate and value-priced accommodations. It is located on a 37-acre site within Universal Orlando Resort and adjacent to Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

 

“The Orlando resort market and our partners at Universal are a fundamental part of our business,” said Jonathan Tisch, Chairman of Loews Hotels & Resorts. “Universal Orlando is a beloved family destination and this new development will allow more families to enjoy the attractions and experience the unique theme parks.”
