ORLANDO, Fla., August 5, 2026 — Rosen Hotels & Resorts (RHR) today announced that an extensive transformation is underway involving two of its largest hotels, the award-winning Rosen Plaza and the AAA Four Diamond Rosen Shingle Creek. The project, which is the most significant renovation in the company’s 52-year history, involves redesigning 2,300 guest rooms, suites and corridors at both hotels, in addition to widespread upgrades within Rosen Shingle Creek’s 524,000 square feet of event space. This comprehensive undertaking reimagines every hallway and guest room from floor to ceiling, reflecting the company’s commitment to delivering world-class accommodations, advanced in-room technology, elevated amenities and exceptional guest service. Conceptualized and driven by RHR’s in-house design team, this landmark revitalization will total more than $150 million once complete in the fall of 2026 for Rosen Plaza and in 2027 for Rosen Shingle Creek, the company’s flagship property.

The renovations at Rosen Shingle Creek, rated Orlando’s Top Convention Hotel in 2026 by U.S. News & World Report, blend modern design and 21st-century comforts with Mediterranean Revival romance, honoring the property’s natural beauty while inviting guests into the history and grandeur of Florida’s past. Surrounded by 255 acres of natural beauty along Shingle Creek, the headwaters of the Florida Everglades, this luxury hotel’s guest rooms have been meticulously tailored to deliver a rejuvenated blend of comfort and sophistication. The new rooms are fashioned with bold patterns, warm tones, rich walnut and curated artwork to create a layered experience that feels both polished and personal. Custom furnishings enrich the rooms while emphasizing extreme comfort. Sculptural lighting, crafted millwork and sleek stone finishes enhance RHR’s aesthetic direction, intentionally modeled for long-term resilience. Expansive windows frame sweeping views of the lush landscape, bringing natural light into the guest room experience. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature spacious vanities, bespoke amenities, glass-enclosed walk-in showers, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, Italian travertine and multi-functional shower systems. Next-generation Wi-Fi and integrated smart-room technology deliver a more connected, intuitive experience for business executives and guests alike. Each room is deliberately curated to balance refined design with modern technology, creating an experience that is as functional as it is artful. Parking facilities will also be upgraded to improve traffic flow, accessibility and the overall guest experience.

Rosen Plaza, founder Harris Rosen’s first convention hotel, located in the heart of Orlando’s convention district, will undergo a broad reimagining, intentionally planned to improve the guest experience. Brimming with character, the rooms offer an urban retreat that is decidedly fresh and refined. Rooted in comfort, functionality and style, each room displays intuitive layouts, tailored furnishings, plush bedding and enhanced technology to underscore RHR’s legendary commitment to an elevated stay. The calming neutral palette is distinctive with its earthy hues and soothing greens. Flexible, multi-use spaces support work, rest and relaxation, while integrated smart controls and industry-leading Wi-Fi connectivity cater to the modern-day traveler. Oversized windows capture sunlit, panoramic city views while commissioned artwork brings personality and pops of color to each experience. Contemporary bathrooms feel sleek and refreshed with walk-in showers, custom amenities, speckled terrazzo flooring and Zellige-inspired wall tiles. The RHR design team left nothing to chance, blending premium upgrades with biophilic design to create a serene retreat where guests can pause, recharge and reconnect.

“I cannot be more excited about this renovation because it represents a transformational moment for our company,” said Frank Santos, president and CEO at Rosen Hotels & Resorts. “Investing more than $150 million into these two iconic hotels demonstrates our unwavering commitment to providing world class accommodations and award-winning guest service to our guests and the hospitality industry. It’s simply amazing and I know Harris Rosen, our late founder, would be proud.”

“The best experiences start with strong concepts rooted in design, storytelling and atmosphere,” said Jack Rosen, manager of design and brand strategies for Rosen Hotels & Resorts. “We’re bringing each property’s unique story to life, creating immersive environments that spark connection, evoke emotion and reflect the local culture, all thoughtfully reimagined for the next generation of travelers.”

“When we started visualizing this massive project, we set out to recreate what a hotel room could be, and the result is a blend of contemporary elegance and true hospitality warmth,” said Dan Giordano, vice president of corporate planning and development at Rosen Hotels & Resorts. “I know our guests will notice the difference the moment they open the door. They’ll notice everything from brighter spaces and richer materials to a sense of calm that carries through every corner. There is no doubt in my mind that, once complete, these rooms will set the standard in Orlando and the hospitality industry as a whole.”
