The FRLA Show New Show Venue Offers Fantastic Amenities
The Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show has a New Venue at the Caribe Royale Orlando!
Emerging from a $127 million transformation, Caribe Royale Orlando has unveiled an entirely reimagined meetings and resort experience from expanded meeting space to a contemporary new look and a refined attitude. A focus on culinary arts brings a refreshing new viewpoint to both restaurant dining and catering offerings, alike. The newly-designated AAA Four-Diamond resort takes pride not only in its physical redesign but also in an elevated level of warm, intuitive service aptly called “The Royale Treatment.”
Meeting planners will appreciate the plethora of additions and enhancements to the resort’s 220,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space all on one level, including the new 50,000-square-foot Palms Ballroom. With expansive pre-function space and sunlit atrium with built-in registration desks, a dedicated boardroom and street-level load-in options, the space is as multifunctional as it is impressive.
Here, organizers can think beyond the traditional meeting room and opt for one of several non-traditional event spaces: the Boca Pier and pool decks make ideal settings for outdoor gatherings; and the resort’s private villas make convenient venues for hospitality, VIP events or breakout functions.
All 1,215 one-bedroom suites have been completely reimagined, with a fresh, modern style and all the comforts of home, including a dedicated workspace to accommodate the rising number of work-remote travelers. The resort’s exclusive Villas at Caribe Royale, a hotel-within-a-hotel, offers an additional 120 lakeside, two-bedroom suites each with a full kitchen, dining room, screened lanai access to the Villas private pool, and a wealth of exclusive services and amenities.
“We are transforming Caribe Royale Orlando into a luxury resort that exceeds expectations by providing what we call ‘The Royale Treatment,’ through a contemporary new look, exquisite amenities, and an elevated level of intuitive service delivered by a team of seasoned experts who proactively partner with our meetingplanner clients to creatively bring their vision to life,” stated Managing Director, Amaury Piedra.
The reimagination of the resort continues throughout the Reception Building — the vibrant heart of guest activity and networking — including redesigned lobby areas with personal check-in stations, extensive lighting upgrades incorporating interactive technology to create a dramatic arrival experience, the addition of an expansive Starbucks® and a vibrant new lounge concept, Rum Bar by Bacardi®.
From inspired custom-crafted menus to dining al fresco by the resort’s sparkling pool and waterfall, Caribe Royale has six on-site dining options to suit every palate, including the renowned, AAA Four- Diamond-rated Venetian Chop House, which features a main dining room and a fireside terrace for small al fresco gatherings. For networking on a new level, the new Rum Bar by Bacardi® with hand-crafted cocktails, an inspired small bites menu, music and custom-built dominoes tables, will offer meeting attendees an energetic space to gather, engage and interact.
And when it’s time for a little downtime, ample opportunities for recreation and networking abound on property. From relaxation in one of the private cabanas around the Caribe Royale’s large outdoor waterfall pool with waterslide, an invigorating workout after a day of meetings in our 3,500-square-foot fitness center to a reviving body treatment at the Island Spa, there is always something engaging happening on the property. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a pick-up game on the lighted basketball court, a casual game of tennis, a run on the resort’s 1.5 mile trail or an afternoon of catch and release fishing from the pier.
