I just saw in the Orando Sentinel Tourism and Travel blog that The Waldorf-Astoria Orlando and the Hilton Bonnet Creek are on schedule to open in 2009, and that a model center showing rooms is now open. Not sure if "regular folk" are allowed to check it out, however... Anyone have any news?
Bonnet Creek preview
Hotel developers at Bonnet Creek have turned a golf-maintenance facility into a model center showing how rooms will look in the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek and the Waldorf- Astoria Orlando. The installation includes mock hallways and room amenities such as a Sub-Zero refrigerator and beveled-glass tabletops. Tom Parke, the resorts' marketing director, said that, with the hotels' opening 10 months away, their design is about 95 percent complete. "We are accelerating this to be not just a soft opening but a real opening for Orlando," Parke said.
