Unique Properties:

The Alfond Inn

The Alfond Inn is located just off Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida, within a few minutes’ walk of Rollins College. With beautiful artwork and a lovely outdoor venue and dining area, it is a treasure that has been recognized by Conde Nast and as a AAA Four-Diamond property.

Please explain to readers about some of the features of your boutique hotel.

The Alfond Inn at Rollins is a member of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts LVXSM collection.

The award-winning Hamilton's Kitchen restaurant offers breakfast, lunch and dinner at the 112-room boutique hotel, which has a pool, fitness center and 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting and wedding space. It is located 15 minutes from downtown Orlando and 30 minutes from Walt Disney World and Orlando International Airport.

Since the hotel opened in 2013, The Alfond Inn at Rollins has been more than a graceful luxury boutique hotel in the upscale setting of Winter Park. It quickly became a community centerpiece and a popular destination for dining, socializing, meetings and weddings.

In fact, the demand has been so great that the hotel is expanding to address those increasing needs. The beautiful and imaginative extension of the hotel will include an additional 71 luxury guestrooms and suites. The expansion will include a new light-filled lobby cafe, a wellness spa and a second swimming pool. There will also be added meeting and function space. Many additional artworks from the Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art will be displayed in the new public spaces of the hotel addition. The project completion date is anticipated for summer of 2023.

Can you share with readers information about the partnership with Rollins College and the Inn?

The Alfond Inn at Rollins is owned by Rollins College, a private coeducational liberal arts college in Winter Park, Florida. The hotel directs net operating income to the Alfond Scholars Program and has given away millions of dollars in full scholarships to Rollins College since 2013.

Please describe the Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art and the installation of much of the collection at the Inn.

The property is distinguished as the only hotel in the United States that serves as the formal extension of an art museum. The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art, from the nearby Rollins Museum of Art at Rollins College, is exhibited throughout the hotel on a rotating basis. The ever-growing collection of seminal works now includes nearly 500 artworks.
