The History of Rosen Hotels & Resorts

• June 24, 1974 – The first property purchased by Rosen Hotels & Resorts was the Quality Inn International with 256 rooms. After three expansions and renovations, it now has 728 rooms. Mr. Rosen's early method of attracting guests was to hitchhike to the Northeast visiting one motorcoach company after another, asking them to name their price. He came home with contracts for room rates as low as $7 a night. This commitment to occupancy instead of average rate has become a tradition.
• June 24, 1975 – The Rodeway Inn International, with 251 rooms was purchased. An expansion in 1979 brought it to 315 rooms. Garritt Toohey, Rosen Hotels & Resorts Vice President, began his career with Rosen Hotels & Resorts at this property as the Sales Manager.
• February 1, 1984 – Quality Inn Plaza was Rosen Hotels & Resorts' first hotel planned from blueprint to full construction. It opened with 340 Frooms. Three expansions have made it the world's largest Quality Inn with 1,020 rooms. Another milestone was adding its computerized property management system.
• May 15, 1987 – Comfort Inn Lake Buena Vista opened with 320 rooms and quickly doubled its size to 640 rooms. Opening night saw Harris Rosen stand in the parking lot turning people away, directing them to sister properties. His idea of the flashing billboard on Interstate 4 that read "Best Rates in Town" turned passersby into guests. People came flocking in. The Comfort Inn ran 100% occupancy for the next five years.
• September 13, 1991 – Rosen Plaza Hotel was Rosen Hotels & Resorts' first, full-service first convention hotel with 800 sleeping rooms and 60,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. The Rosen Plaza Hotel is home to one of Orlando's most popular nightclubs, Backstage, and to the fine dining restaurant, Jack's Place.
• October 31, 1995 – Rosen Hotels & Resorts opened its second full service convention hotel, Rosen Centre. Rising 24 stories over International Drive, the hotel boasts more than 100,000 sq. ft. of meeting space. Fine dining can be enjoyed at Everglades, a restaurant that celebrates the beauty of the National Park.
• December 1, 2003 - Rosen Hotels & Resorts' Shingle Creek Golf Club features a David Harman designed 18-hole championship golf course and is located just a half mile east of the Convention Center expansion on Universal Blvd. The golf course defines the edges of Rosen Shingle Creek.
• September 9, 2006 - Rosen Shingle Creek opens with 1,500 guest rooms and suites and over 445,000 square feet of “state of the art” ballroom and meeting facilities. It boasts one of the largest “column free” ballrooms in the United States measuring 95,000 sq ft. The hotel also features a full service spa, a state of the art health club, fine dining Italian bistro and Shingle Creek Golf Club.

Rosen Hotels & Resorts is Orlando's most progressive hospitality company, owning upwards of 6,300 rooms – more than any other privately held hotel company in Central Florida.
