Orlando, FL, June 28, 2023 – StepStone Hospitality, a leading management company specializing in full, select, and independent boutique style hotel and restaurant operations, is delighted to announce the successful completion of a comprehensive renovation at the Fairfield Orlando I-Drive Convention Center, 8214 Universal Blvd, Orlando, Florida. This exciting transformation showcases StepStone’s commitment to providing exceptional experiences for guests, particularly meeting planners seeking a superior venue for their events.
Since assuming management of the hotel in 2022, StepStone Hospitality has been dedicated to enhancing the Fairfield Orlando I-Drive Convention Center’s reputation as a premier destination in Orlando. The property’s prime location offers easy access to popular leisure attractions such as Universal Orlando, as well as close proximity to the Orlando Convention Center for corporate and group events. Additionally, being situated across from the Lockheed Martin complex ensures convenience for corporate travelers.
The renovation project, which commenced in July 2022 and recently concluded, encompassed every aspect of the property. With an investment of $3.5 million, all 160 guest rooms and public areas have been meticulously redesigned and upgraded to elevate the overall guest experience. The result is a fresh, modern aesthetic that combines comfort with contemporary style, setting a new standard for the hotel’s offerings.
One of the highlights of the renovation is the addition of a stylish lobby bar, providing a sophisticated and inviting space for guests to unwind and socialize. This new feature will further enhance the hotel’s appeal to both business and leisure travelers, creating a vibrant atmosphere within the property.
Spanning an impressive 3,004 square feet, the hotel’s conference space has also been transformed to meet the evolving needs of meeting planners. The updated facilities boast state-of-the-art technology, versatile layouts, and a refined ambiance, ensuring an exceptional environment for successful corporate gatherings, conferences, and events of all sizes.
“We are thrilled to unveil the newly renovated Fairfield Orlando I-Drive Convention Center,” said Jeff VanDiver, General Manager. “This project represents our commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences and providing event planners with an outstanding venue to host their events. With the addition of the lobby bar and the complete revitalization of our guest rooms and conference spaces, we are confident that the Fairfield Orlando I-Drive Convention Center will exceed the expectations of both leisure and business travelers alike.”
Looking ahead, StepStone Hospitality is excited about the future of the Fairfield Orlando I-Drive Convention Center. The proximity to the forthcoming EPIC Theme Park, scheduled to open in 2025, presents an exciting opportunity for guests to enjoy a world-class entertainment experience just steps away from the hotel. Furthermore, the property’s convenient location near Universal Studios and the Orlando Convention Center positions it as an ideal choice for both leisure and business travelers.
