Located within the Walt Disney World Resort and just steps from Downtown Disney, this iconic hotel, originally built in 1972 and last renovated in 1983, underwent a complete conversion of its public spaces. Through strategic re-sequencing, strong project management, and clear communication across all team members, HRCG successfully navigated Disney’s rigorous inspection process while meeting the client’s demanding schedule. The result is a refreshed property that seamlessly connects welcoming entrances, vibrant social areas, and polished event spaces.
