In 2013, Rollins College opened this boutique hotel in upscale Winter Park using a $12.5-million donation; its income endows a scholarship program. Isn’t that nice? So is the hotel. Its restaurant and cocktail bar and modern rooms, striped in teal and lime with dark wood accents, appeal to sophisticated palates, something underscored by its fantastic public art collection, curated by the surprisingly well-stocked Rollins Museum of Art. These gleaming facilities are 3 blocks from the dignified shopping of Park Avenue and the Morse Museum, making it an instant keystone of the Winter Park scene. It’s probably too far if you’ve got a heavy theme park schedule, but it’s ideal for love-nesting and grown-up explorations of the brick streets and 1920s mansions of Winter Park. In 2023, it added a new 71-room wing, spa, a new fitness center, and a second pool.
