Landmark Resort to include 3-story waterfall [Central Florida]
Nearly three years after the Hyatt Orlando closed its doors, consultants for the new owner vowed to turn the property into “a landmark in Central Florida.”
The Landmark Sun and Spa Resort, at the northeast corner of Interstate 4 and U.S. Highway 192, will feature a 378-room hotel with a 160,000-square-foot conference center and a three-story waterfall. It will also have five high-rise condominium-hotel buildings, with a lagoon running through the site. The buildings will feature glass and metal panels, materials not commonly used locally, Orlando architect Timothy Aebie said.
“There’s certainly nothing like this in Central Florida currently,” Aebie said Tuesday, sharing the latest designs with tourism officials at a lunch put on by the Kissimmee-Osceola County Chamber of Commerce. “We wanted to create something that has staying power.”
