KISSIMMEE, FL—Orange Lake Resorts, home to the Holiday Inn Club Vacations brand, and IHG will embark on a five-year plan to design, update and renovate more than 3,100 villas at 13 resorts, which were acquired in May 2015 as part of Orange Lake Resorts’ purchase of Silverleaf Resorts.
The five-year villa renovation plan includes creating a fresh look for these resorts and the designs are inspired by the surrounding destinations’ history, colors and charm.
Don Harrill, CEO of Orange Lake Resorts, said, “This is a significant investment being made by Orange Lake Resorts in our guest experience at these recently acquired resort properties. These villas represent 42% of the 7,400 villas at our 26 resort properties, which comes on top of our ongoing upgrades we regularly perform across our entire vacation ownership resort network.”
By the end of this year, 428 villas will have new soft good designs, which include new sofas, beds, bedding, carpeting, chairs, lighting, window treatments, refreshed artwork/decor and paint. An additional 680 villas will be completed by the end of 2017, with the final renovations expected to be completed by 2021.
The first eight resorts to receive their new look in 2016 are Holiday Inn Club Vacations Timber Creek Resort – Texas; Holiday Inn Club Vacations Hill Country Resort – Texas; Holiday Inn Club Vacations Piney Shores Resort – Texas; Holiday Inn Club Vacations Galveston Seaside Resort – Texas; Holiday Inn Club Vacations Villages Resort – Texas; Holiday Inn Club Vacations Fox River Resort – Illinois; Holiday Inn Club Vacations Holiday Hills Resort – Missouri; and Holiday Inn Club Vacations Oak N’ Spruce Resort – Massachusetts.
