Seralago Hotel & Suites

The Seralago Hotel & Suites Main Gate East is a 3-star family resort located on Irlo Bronson Highway in Kissimmee, Florida. The resort is located 3 miles or 4.8 kilometers east of the Walt Disney World Resort and is near Old Town.[1][2]

History

The hotel opened in March 1973 with 228 rooms in four detached buildings.[3] Holiday Inn owns the Seralago Hotel & Suites Main Gate East.[3]

One of the original owners of the hotel was Henri Landwirth, founder of the Give Kids The World Village, a nonprofit resort where terminally ill children would enjoy a week-long vacation with their families for no charge.[3][4] Another owner of the hotel was the astronaut John Glenn, later a United States senator.[3][4] Massive expansions of the resort took place in 1975, 1979, and 1989 with the opening of 445 additional rooms.[3] This hotel pioneered the concept of "kids' suites;" suites with child-friendly themes where children have gaming consoles and their own private area for relaxation.[3] Each kid suite can accommodate up to five people (two parents/adult guardians and three children).
