10,000-room Crystal Lagoons Project Opens in Orlando Just Steps From Disney World
More
than 10,000 rooms will surround the lagoon powered by Crystal
Lagoons® technology, recently inaugurated in the United States.
It is located just steps from Disney World and Universal Studios in
the heart of Orlando, the most visited destination in the US, with 75
million tourists annually. This city offers a wide range of
entertainment options but lacks a beach, an issue remedied in this great
development with a crystalline lagoon of the multinational innovation company
founded by the scientist Fernando Fischmann.
The
lagoon forms part of the Evermore Orlando Resort, one of the largest tourism
projects in Florida. The large 8-acre body of water with extensive beaches
breaks the hotel paradigm by providing truly superior standards and
consolidates the presence of Crystal Lagoons in the hospitality and entertainment
industry.
Surrounding
the lagoon is Orlando's first Conrad
hotel, a luxury brand of the Hilton chain, as well as a variety of homes,
villas and apartments. In addition, there is an 18-hole golf course
designed by Jack
Nicklaus, one of the greatest golfers in history.
"Every
hotel project incorporating a Crystal Lagoons® amenity becomes the
most attractive destination in the area. Conrad, one of the world's leading
hotel chains, understood this and decided to make a qualitative leap with
respect to the existing offer in the most touristic area of the U.S.,"
said Iván Manzur, Senior Vice President of Sales of Crystal Lagoons US Corp.
The United
States is the main operation of Crystal Lagoons worldwide, with more
than 275 projects at different stages of development and negotiation.
Among the most important are Aqua, Mirada, Sole Mia, Balmoral, Windsong
Ranch, Beachwalk, and Southshore Bay. The recent joint venture to develop four
Public Access Lagoons™ complexes, also known as PAL™, in Texas, stands out
and will add to the successful public access developments Epperson
(Florida) and Lago Mar (Texas).
