The Residences offer a new era of multi-generational travel at flagship Orlando property

ORLANDO, Fla., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Holiday Inn Club Vacations Incorporated, an international vacation ownership company, today marked a major milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the completion of the first phase of The Residences at Orange Lake Resort. The expansion includes three completed six-bedroom luxury homes and one fully furnished model home, now ready to welcome multi-generational travelers seeking a high-end, private-vacation experience.

The ceremony comes just shy of two years after the company broke ground on the project on August 8, 2023.

"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," said Staten. "We believe that multi-generational travel is the future, and The Residences represent our ongoing commitment to leading that movement by offering innovative, spacious accommodations at the very resort where our company began more than 40 years ago."

Built with family connection, comfort, and luxury in mind, each Residence spans more than 5,575 square feet and features:

• Six bedrooms and six bathrooms with dual master suites
• Large entertainment spaces with 85" TVs and surround sound
• Private screened-in pool with sun shelf, hot tub, and fire pit area
• Game and fitness rooms
• Chef's kitchen with island seating and dining room to seat 20
• Outdoor kitchen and covered patio
• Smart home technology and personal golf cart use

The Residences are now available for preview through the model home, with the first three homes ready for stays later this summer. Priority booking will be offered to Holiday Inn Club members.
