New Lexington in Orlando Offers Guests a Suite Deal
CLEVELAND, OH, October 15, 2009 - The lodging options in Orlando, FL just got sweeter with the opening of the new Lexington Suites. Located in the heart of America's vacation paradise, the Lexington Suites is ideally situated one block away from world-famous International Drive, with easy access to Orlando's major attractions such as Universal Studios, Sea World, Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom, and the Orlando Convention Center.
The property features 154 spacious suites that overlook a lushly landscaped courtyard with an outdoor pool and hot tub. Each suite is equipped with two televisions, microwave, refrigerator, and wet bar. Guests will appreciate the many complimentary offerings such as a hot buffet breakfast, local calls, high-speed Internet access, and transportation to Universal Studios and Sea World theme parks. Guest laundry facilities, a gift shop and a newsstand are located on-site for added convenience.
Roger Bloss, CEO and President of Vantage Hospitality Group, Lexington's parent company, is excited to welcome the Orlando property to the brand. “The ideal location of this property, along with the superb accommodations and affordable rates, makes this a great value for business or leisure travelers to Orlando.”
“It made smart business sense for us to go with Lexington,” said Dennis BeMent, VP of Operations of the Orlando Lexington Suites. “The Lexington's championed business model allows us to be in business for ourselves, not by ourselves, and does away with the complex and often complicated franchise terms and restrictions. We're excited to join a brand that empowers us to choose the amenities we want based on our market demands and to have a voice and a vote. I'm looking forward to tapping into the exceptional operations and reservations resources The Lexington Collection has available.”
The Lexington Suites is located at 7400 Canada Avenue in Orlando. For reservations, please call 407-363-0332, 888-315-2378 or visit www.LexingtonHotels.com.
