Hoi!

We zijn druk aan het plannen en lezen dat dit hotel in Winterpark, Orlando leuk is. Gek genoeg kan ik maar geen eigen website van ze ontdekken, maar weet ik wel dat Ronald en Nancy er hun 25-jarig huwelijksfeest gevierd hebben. Geen idee of dat een aanrader is of juist niet........

Ken je het toevallig? Ik hoor/lees het graag!

Groet,

Maartje

Misschien geen eigen website, maar hier vind je denk ik dezelfde gegevens met foto's e.d. en kan je direct reserveren:

Volgens Wikipedia is het in 1999 gesloten. Dit topic sluit dus ook.


The Langford Resort Hotel
The Langford Hotel (opened 1955, closed 1999), was the first enclosed, air conditioned luxury resort hotel in 20th century Central Florida, predating the resorts of the Disney area by nearly 20 years. The Langford, with its famous themed rooms, backlit-in-red grotto bar, Empire Room dining, heated original pool, and Chinese pagoda spa served as a gateway to 'Old Florida' attractions in Central Florida and a community social hub for decades.
Famous guests included Dean Martin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Martin), Frank Sinatra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Sinatra), Ray Charles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Charles), Larry King (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_King), Hugh Hefner (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Hefner), John Denver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Denver), Langford winter resident Lady Bird Johnson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Bird_Johnson), and President Ronald Reagan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan) and his wife, First Lady Nancy Reagan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Reagan) who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary there.
The Langford was toasted in one memorable last late night party in late 1999, closed, and was demolished. A portion of the former Langford Property (as of late 2006) has been developed into luxury mid-rise condominiums. The remaining parcel is now vacant and for sale.
