History

The hotel opened in March 1973 with 228 rooms in four detached buildings.[3] For the first 32 years of its existence, the hotel was a franchise hotel of Holiday Inn.[3]

One of the original owners of the hotel was Henri Landwirth, founder of the Give Kids The World Village, a nonprofit resort where terminally ill children would enjoy a week-long vacation with their families for no charge.[3][4] Another owner of the hotel was the astronaut John Glenn, later a United States senator.[3][4] Massive expansions of the resort took place in 1975, 1979, and 1989 with the opening of 445 additional rooms.[3] This hotel pioneered the concept of "kids' suites;" suites with child-friendly themes where children have gaming consoles and their own private area for relaxation.[3] Each kid suite can accommodate up to five people (two parents/adult guardians and three children).

On January 1, 2005, the employees jointly took over ownership of the hotel from the Holiday Inn corporation and became an independent hotel.[3] The current owner of the resort property is Seralago Investments LLC.[3]
