Holiday Inn Club Vacations Marks a New Beginning
In an exciting development for family travel, Holiday Inn Club Vacations Incorporated has officially completed its first luxury, six-bedroom homes at the renowned Orange Lake Resort. This event, a significant milestone for the international vacation ownership company, was marked by a grand ribbon-cutting ceremony held on June 11, 2025. The completion of these residences emphasizes the company’s commitment to multi-generational travel, offering spacious accommodations that cater to families seeking high-end experiences together.
The launch comes nearly two years after the groundbreaking ceremony on August 8, 2023. The event brought together key leaders from the company and industry to celebrate the achievement. John Staten, President and CEO of Holiday Inn Club Vacations, expressed that these residences are more than mere structures; they represent a bold step toward reimagining family vacations and enhancing the travel experience for generations.
A Vision for Family Connection
Staten articulated the essence of this initiative by stating, "This is more than just the completion of four stunning homes—it's the realization of a bold vision to reimagine how families travel together." This sentiment reflects the growing trend of multi-generational travel, where families of various ages come together to bond in a luxury setting. With an increased focus on shared experiences, the residences at Orange Lake signify a strategic move towards accommodating this evolving travel demographic.
Each of the newly constructed homes spans over 5,575 square feet and is designed with family connection and comfort in mind. They feature:
- - Six bedrooms and six bathrooms, including dual master suites for added convenience.
- - Large entertainment spaces equipped with 85” TVs and state-of-the-art surround sound systems.
- - A private screened-in pool complete with a sun shelf, hot tub, and a cozy fire pit area.
- - Dedicated game and fitness rooms allowing for both relaxation and active recreation.
- - A fully-equipped chef's kitchen with ample island seating, alongside a dining room that accommodates up to 20 guests.
- - An outdoor kitchen and covered patio for those sunny Florida days.
