The distinguished and award-winning boutique hotel, The Alfond Inn at Rollins, nestled in the heart of historic Winter Park, is commemorating its remarkable 10th anniversary this month. Since its inception in 2013, the hotel has established itself as a cornerstone of the Winter Park community, offering not just accommodations but also serving as a hub for dining, socializing, meetings, and weddings. As the hotel embarks on this milestone year, it is preparing to inaugurate an art-infused new wing and The Spa, ushering in a fresh chapter of luxury and refinement.
The Alfond Inn at Rollins stands apart not only for its exceptional hospitality but also its profound philanthropic mission. Owned by the neighboring Rollins College, a revered private liberal arts institution, the hotel’s net operating income is channeled towards scholarships. Furthermore, its affiliation with the Rollins Museum of Art signifies a deep commitment to artistic enrichment.
Marking its decade-long presence, The Alfond Inn at Rollins presents an enticing 10-Year Celebration Package. This package includes a two-night stay, valet parking, a welcome champagne upon arrival, and a sumptuous three-course dinner for two at the illustrious Hamilton’s Kitchen.
