Hyatt House Orlando Airport will be six floors and will include 156 rooms and suites. Located in Orlando’s Gateway Village, five minutes from Orlando International Airport, the property joins two additional McKibbon Hospitality-managed properties: the Hampton Inn & Suites and the Homewood Suites Orlando Airport. In addition to a covered outdoor event deck and pool, the Orlando property will feature an event lawn that can be used to host larger outdoor functions. Catering to business travelers, the Orlando Hyatt House will offer 2,400 square feet of meeting space, including a 1,650-square-foot main room, a 500-square-foot gathering room and a 250-square-foot boardroom, as well as a modern lobby and H Bar.
Base4, of Boca Raton, Fla., is the architect for both hotels. The development arm of these projects, McKibbon Places, has selected Kellogg & Kimsey, based in Sarasota, as the general contractor. Both hotels will be managed by McKibbon Hospitality.
In addition to the two new-build hotels, McKibbon Hospitality is expanding its corporate headquarters in Tampa’s Avion Park. The hotel management company is adding an additional 2,500 square feet to its existing 10,000 square feet of office space.
