Vision Hospitality Group is excited to offer a glimpse into the multimillion-dollar renovation currently taking place at its waterfront hotel in Celebration, Florida. Previously known as the Bohemian Hotel Celebration and now the Celebration Hotel, this 115-key, inn-style property boasts breathtaking views of Lake Rianhard and serves as a community cornerstone in Celebration, a charming town near Orlando. Vision Hospitality Group, based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, is a leader in hotel development and renowned for its culture-driven operations.
A New Identity for the Inn-Style Property
Upon completion of the hotel’s comprehensive six-month renovation in November 2024, the property will be rebranded as The Inn at Celebration, Autograph Collection®. Autograph Collection hotels are known for their unique and memorable designs, curated to offer guests a one-of-a-kind experience. As part of the Marriott Bonvoy® program, guests will have the opportunity to earn rewards while enjoying this newly transformed property.
The Transformation of a Waterfront Gem
“In 2022, when we acquired this inn-style hotel surrounded by Central Florida’s natural beauty, we saw it as an investment in a hidden gem,” said Mitch Patel, President & CEO of Vision Hospitality Group. “Our renovation will retain the inn’s traditional architectural charm while incorporating creative design elements, modern amenities, and full-service features to deliver exceptional guest experiences.”
The renovation will enhance the hotel’s appeal to visitors looking to explore the natural beauty of Florida. The design palette will feature soft tones of alabaster, tan, gray, green, and blue, creating a serene atmosphere. These colors will be paired with cool, earthy accents, lush greenery, and locally inspired décor, including comfortable, modern furniture, eclectic artwork, and vintage fixtures.
Key Renovations and Enhancements
Some of the highlights of the property’s transformation include:
- Upgrading all 92 standard rooms and 23 suites, with 65 rooms offering picturesque lake views.
- Redesigning the entryway into a welcoming living room-style space with lake views.
- Launching a new farm-to-table restaurant, Lakeside Kitchen & Bar, which will be the only waterfront dining option in Celebration.
- Expanding outdoor dining and lounge spaces with a new waterfront patio, perfect for enjoying sunsets.
- Doubling the size of the fitness center, relocating it to provide lake views, and equipping it with state-of-the-art gear.
- Updating both indoor and outdoor event spaces, totaling 7,500 square feet for various gatherings.
“Our outdoor enhancements harmonize with the property’s waterfront setting, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere,” said Amber Johnson, General Manager of Celebration Hotel, soon to be The Inn at Celebration, Autograph Collection. “Often referred to as the ‘living room’ of Celebration, our hotel holds a special place in the community where countless memories are made.”
A Commitment to Community and Sustainability
The Inn at Celebration is deeply committed to supporting the local community through various charitable initiatives, including addressing food insecurity, supporting human rights, honoring civil servants, and providing special moments for critically ill children.
In addition to its community efforts, the hotel is dedicated to sustainability. Vision Hospitality Group is focused on reducing the property’s environmental footprint by minimizing waste, conserving natural resources, and incorporating locally sourced produce in the hotel’s restaurant.
