ORLANDO
Grande Lakes Orlando continues to move forward with its multi-phase renovation project to upgrade the resort's expansive meetings space. The resort, comprised of a Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott, opened in July 2003 as the first luxury resort in the city and today continues to set the standard for service excellence and group events in Orlando.
Renovations to the meetings space commenced in fall 2012 and will be complete at the start of 2015. Spaces slated for a fall 2013 upgrade include the 20,000-square-foot Palazzo Ballroom at JW Marriott Orlando and the opulent Ritz-Carlton Ballroom, as well as nine JW breakout rooms and The Ritz-Carlton Orlando meetings space foyers. The meetings space renovation includes carpeting, wall treatments, paint, décor, foyer furniture, window treatments, and lighting (including chandeliers).
Grande Lakes Orlando has more than 150,000 square feet of flexible indoor space, including 40 total breakout rooms, in addition to 115,000 square feet of lush outdoor space. From intimate weddings to large-scale association meetings, the resort can host events for groups of up to 1,650 guests. Groups at both hotels have access to the varied amenities and activities, including the award-winning Ritz-Carlton Spa Orlando, an 18-hole Greg Norman championship golf course, and eco-tours and fishing on Shingle Creek.
