Buena Vista Palace Resort & Spa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Buena Vista Palace is a 1,129-room resort located on 27 acres directly across from the Downtown Disney Marketplace. The 23-acre hotel, which opened in November 1983, is among seven hotels that make up the Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels. The Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels are located on the property of the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, but are not owned by Disney.
[edit] Branding history
The Buena Vista Palace Resort & Spa was re-branded and renamed as the Wyndham Palace Resort & Spa in November 1998 (the hotel's owners, who had acquired the hotel a year earlier, had purchased Wyndham earlier in the year). In 2005, the Blackstone Group acquired Wyndham and announced plans to launch a new brand LXR Luxury Resorts. LXR Luxury Resorts would consist of 21 premium properties wholly owned by the Blackstone Group, including the former Wyndham Palace which reverted back to its original name in 2006.
