WINTER HAVEN, FL-Legoland officials announced late last week that it plans to build a brightly colored 152-room hotel at its Legoland Florida park here.
The Lego-themed hotel, which will open in 2015, is expected to tap park visitors who now stay in Orlando when visiting Disney and Universal parks there, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
"This shifts us from a single day visit to a multi-day destination," said Adrian Jones, the general manager of Legoland Florida. Jones added that the hotel would also serve as a catalyst for economic development in Polk County.
The Legoland Florida hotel will be fifth Legoland Hotel. There are currently Lego hotels in California, England and Denmark, with another under construction in Malaysia. See story in the Tampa Bay Times.
