Vision Hospitality Group announced today the grand unveiling of The Inn at Celebration, which recently underwent a multimillion-dollar property renovation and joined the elite Autograph Collection Hotel Portfolio. A ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony will mark the occasion on February 6th at 4:30 pm.
“When we acquired this charming inn-style hotel in 2022, we recognized its hidden potential,” said Mitch Patel, Founder & CEO of Vision Hospitality Group. “Our renovation preserved its classic architectural charm while enhancing the guest experience with modern amenities, sophisticated design, and full-service offerings.”
A Boutique Lakeside Retreat
Nestled along Lake Rianhard in the picturesque town of Celebration, near Orlando, The Inn at Celebration offers an intimate retreat that blends classic Floridian hospitality with contemporary sophistication. The 115-room inn-style property boasts stunning lake views and serves as a vibrant pillar of the local community. Guests can explore scenic walking and biking trails, visit charming shops, and experience exceptional dining at the newly reimagined Lakeside Kitchen & Bar, Celebration’s only waterfront restaurant.
A Thoughtful Redesign
Vision Hospitality Group partnered with Baskervill, an acclaimed design firm, to bring a fresh, inviting aesthetic to the hotel. The transformation features a serene color palette of alabaster, tan, gray, green, and blue, accented by natural materials and lush greenery.
“Our goal was to make this hotel the ‘living room’ of Celebration—a warm and welcoming space for both locals and visitors,” said Elaina Lackaye, Design Director at Baskervill. “Inspired by the surrounding landscape, we incorporated natural materials and an indoor-outdoor design to seamlessly blend the hotel with its scenic environment. One standout feature is the lobby’s library wall, a unique interactive element where guests can browse, borrow, or contribute their own stories.”
Key enhancements and features include:
Complete transformation of all 115 guest rooms, including 23 suites, with 65 rooms featuring lake views.
Redesigned lobby and entry, evoking the ambiance of a welcoming living room with panoramic lake vistas.
Lakeside Kitchen & Bar, a full-service, Chef-driven restaurant with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients offering waterfront dining.
Expanded outdoor lounge and dining areas, including a scenic waterfront patio perfect for sunset views.
Upgraded fitness center, now doubled in size, relocated for lake views, and outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment.
Enhanced indoor and outdoor event spaces, totaling approximately 7,500 square feet, ideal for a variety of gatherings.
“The outdoor enhancements truly embrace our three-story property’s stunning location, creating a tranquil retreat,” said Missy Guyer, Director of Sales for The Inn at Celebration. “Often referred to as the ‘living room’ of the community, the inn captures the timeless charm of Celebration while offering an unparalleled guest experience.”
A Historic and Community-Focused Landmark
Founded by The Walt Disney Company in the 1990s, Celebration was designed as a place to live, work, and play. Located at 700 Bloom Street, The Inn at Celebration – which officially changed its name from Celebration Hotel in November 2024 – remains a community landmark near Orlando’s top attractions.
Beyond hospitality, the hotel is dedicated to giving back through initiatives addressing food insecurity, supporting civil servants, and granting wishes for critically ill children. Sustainability efforts also play a key role, with a focus on waste reduction, natural resource conservation, and an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients in the restaurant.
