Developer plans 4-hotel, 16-restaurant project near Disney Springs

AIC Hotel Group, which is associated with Nobu and other hotel brands, has filed preliminary plans in Orange County for a massive resort east of Disney Springs, according to a report in GrowthSpotter.

AIC Hotel Group, which also owns several Hard Rock Hotels, purchased about 50 acres of vacant property just north of the Orlando Marriott World Center Resort in 2018 for $32.75 million. Nobu Hotels announced plans in 2022 for an Orlando resort with a scheduled opening date in 2026.

The conceptual master plan calls for four hotels with a combined 1,934 rooms, 16 restaurants with seating for 2,600 diners and an entertainment venue with a capacity of 1,625 guests. The master plan also includes 270 apartments designated as Club Membership Units and a 26,000-square-foot spa.

The Nobu Hotels website says the Orlando resort will feature 300 rooms including eight villas, a Nobu restaurant, 50 branded residences, and meeting and event space. The new master plan doesn’t specify how the Nobu project would integrate into the larger resort. read more
