Nickelodeon Suites Resort In Orlando, Florida To Close In April 2016

Nickelodeon Suites Resort has announced the very sad news that the world famous Nick Hotel will be no more after Sunday 17th April 2016.

The resort itself will remain, and the water play area, 4D theater and laser maze will remain, but the Nickelodeon branding will be gone.

The Nickelodeon Suites Resort property, located off World Center Drive, will become the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites - Waterpark, according to a statement on the Nick Hotel's website.


"The resort will continue to be a destination hotel dedicated to imagination, play and exploration for kids and parents alike!" reads the statement.

Nickelodeon branding will remain at the hotel through Sunday 17th April 2016, but the next day, the resort will be renamed Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites - Waterpark. No Nickelodeon experiences will be offered at the resort once the property is rebranded, meaning guests looking to get slimed will have to search for another Nickelodeon experience later this year.

For the past few weeks some of the Nickelodeon branding has been removed from around the resort, and the outside of the hotel is in the process of being repainted. Nickelodeon graphics have already been removed from many of the rooms as part of a $30 million renovation of the resort. The Lagoon Pool and Café are being rebuilt and are closed through Feb. 29.


Lagoon Pool at Nickelodeon Suites Resort

The rebranding was announced as the hotel starts a $30 million renovation, including new renovated suites and upgrades to The Lagoon Pool and Café, which is closed through Monday 29th February 2016. The resort's Café in the Mall is also undergoing renovations, according to NickHotel.com.

Once upgrades are complete, the Holiday Inn will feature a renovated waterpark, laser maze (formally "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Laser Lockdown"), a 4-D theater and live entertainment.

Nickelodeon launched the Nick Hotel in partnership with Holiday Inn in 2005, becoming the first Nickelodeon Hotel in the world.

The Nickelodeon Hotel sold in 2014 for $78.8 million. It celebrated its 10th anniversary last year with parties, extra activities and general celebration with popular Nickelodeon characters.



Nickelodeon Suites Resort recently marked its 10th anniversary with a party and sliming featuring many characters from Nick shows past and present.

The Nick Hotel is offering amazing Deals during January and February with weekday rates starting as low as $79 during this time period. Check the availability calendar for more details. Upcoming events include the "Power Rangers Dino Super Charge" weekend between Saturday 13th - Monday 15 February 2016.


Although the Nickelodeon Suites Resort in Orlando, Florida will be closing, Karisma Hotels & Resorts and Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) recently announced that they are now taking bookings for Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Punta Cana, Nickelodeon's first-ever international hotel property, providing both non-stop family entertainment and Karisma's renowned Gourmet Inclusive® Experience, which will open in May 2016. Nickelodeon fans can reserve their hotel rooms today at 1-844-SEE-NICK and www.nickresortpuntacana.com.

Below is Nickelodeon Suites Resort's full statement:

Learn About Our Hotel Renovations

The Nick Hotel has entered into a very exciting phase as we have begun a $30 million renovation of the resort. In January, we unveil our first newly renovated suites to our guests. The Lagoon Pool and Café will be rebuilt beginning January 4th and are closed through February 29th.

While the World-Famous Lagoon Pool complex is rebuilt the Oasis Pool and Slides will be open daily between January 4th and March 1st with live poolside entertainment including shows, slimings and other activities. The Oasis Pool and Slides area includes a kids' play area, multi-level water tower, and relaxing poolside cabanas for your enjoyment. A Snack Bar serves sandwiches, snacks, ice cream and alcoholic drinks.

The Café in the Mall will undergo a complete makeover. The Nick Hotel dining options provide a flavor fit for every palate, even during the Café refurbishment. From a comfortable all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet at The Mall Buffet Restaurant where you may enjoy meet and greet opportunities with your favorite Nickelodeon characters, to Cravings featuring Starbucks Coffee and Hersey's Hand-Dipped Ice Cream, Antonio’s Pizzeria, Deli & Stuff, or the Lounge Bar with its complete a la carte dining menu.

Effective April 18, 2016, the resort will become the NEW Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites – Waterpark. The resort will continue to be a destination hotel dedicated to imagination, play and exploration for kids and parents alike! The rebranding creates opportunities to bring new features to life, including a newly renovated waterpark, laser maze, 4-D theater lineup and live entertainment in our studio and poolside! We will no longer offer Nickelodeon experiences past April 17, 2016, but will continue to deliver a fun and energetic experience.

The Nick Hotel is offering amazing Deals during January and February with weekday rates starting as low as $79 during this time period. Check the availability calendar for more details.
