Accor SA, a French hospitality giant and owner of the Fairmont brand, will work in collaboration with the New York-based Development Ventures Group to build a new Fairmont Orlando hotel in Florida, which is scheduled to open in 2025.
Located on a 30 acre site, right in the heart of Orlando’s entertainment district and about 20 minutes from Orlando International Airport, this new seven-story Fairmont Orlando hotel will be Accor’s 20th property in the US. The hotel’s location will be in close proximity to several premier attractions in the area and it’s aimed at attracting a broader travel demographic of visitors, who are more likely to spend more money in the area during their vacations. The building is designed to make provision for 44,000 square feet of meeting and event space, and it will also feature 550 guest rooms consisting of 90 suites, 12 villas, and 87 concierge-level Fairmont Gold rooms.

Other common areas and additional services to be provided in the Fairmont Orlando hotel include a 12,000 square foot spa and wellness center, with seven treatment rooms, a gym and two hot tubs; three swimming pools consisting of a family pool, a lazy river and an adults-only pool; children and young adult centers; and a library. The top floor will offer guests the brand’s signature Fairmont Gold experience along with an expansive 5,000 square feet of private lounge space.
According to the CEO of Accor North & Central America, Heather McCrory, this new Fairmont Orlando hotel will help in expanding Accor’s footprint in strategic North American markets. McCrory also said, “Fairmont Orlando will be a notable addition to Accor’s growing luxury portfolio in the region, and is poised to become a prominent hotel in Orlando catering to the most discerning of travelers.”
The development team handling the Fairmont Orlando hotel project includes the Atlanta-based Smallwood Architects as the project architect; California-based SFA Design working on the hotel’s interiors; and Toronto-based Studio Paolo Ferrari handling the restaurants’ design. Development Ventures Group will be in charge of developing the property.
