This year has provided time to reinvent how to stay connected while following new norms, like facetiming family and friends, visiting places across the globe via live streams, and lots of videoconferencing. (Zoom, anyone?) We may seem as virtually connected as before, but the new norm has forced great compromise. The biggest change was packing away our travel bags. After months of cozying up with our favorite throw and catching up on all streaming shows, travel is finally making a comeback.

The fun you had on your last family vacation is waiting for you. That palpable energy found in a new city is ready to reignite your passion for life. Beauty so moving it touches your heart is out there in nature and at national monuments. The fresh outdoor air yearns for your screams of joy as you conquer new roller coasters at Orlando’s theme parks. Our appetite also deserves a change of course. Orlando’s chefs are ready to prepare delightful cuisine that will send the senses on its own worldly journey. It is all waiting for you and your family.

When the Time is Right

Your wanderlust may be triggered but concerns for safety may also be holding you back. Rightfully so. Mindful travelers have a few new rules to follow and some new things to pack, which will be covered throughout this blog. Different cities have new expectations of its tourist and visitors. Here in Orlando, Florida, tourists have a lot of freedom and do not need to quarantine upon arrival. Many places in Orlando expect travelers to wear masks.

At Rosen Shingle Creek, guests are required to wear a mask whenever in public places around the hotel. Temperature screenings are also mandatory. At the front desk, clear plexiglass has been installed to provide extra protection when welcoming guests or answering questions. We’ve placed hand sanitizer dispensers in more convenient locations around the hotel. We have always kept a pristine and clean hotel. Regardless, to help keep our guests safe, we clean common areas and high touchpoints more often with hospital-grade, EPA-approved disinfectant. Rest assured with extra precautions in your guestroom as well. Prior to your arrival, your guestroom is disinfected with a special electrostatic cleaner to get into and onto all surfaces. Our dining experience has become more hands off—reading menus and making payments are possible through your smartphone. All these details and more guidelines for traveling to Orlando and Rosen Shingle Creek are conveniently listed in our Know Before You Go document.

When the time is right for you and your family to travel, you have but one big question to ask yourself. Where to next? By now, our answer is clear—Orlando, Florida. And we think you deserve a luxurious yet affordable stay at the best locally owned hotel—Rosen Shingle Creek.

Orlando – Still One of the Most Popular US Destinations

If you still need evidence that Orlando makes a great vacation destination, then take comfort knowing Orlando consistently ranks high as a city to visit. Why? Well, we’re the theme park capital of the world, our dining options match any major city, and shopping here is considered world-class with a plethora of boutique and high-end fashion stores within the city limits—the only limits being your spending budget.

Universal Orlando Resorts and Walt Disney World call Orlando home. SeaWorld’s theme park complex is also a short distance away from Rosen Shingle Creek. As a service to our guests, we offer complimentary shuttle service to these great locations. If you need a sneak peek at what some of these theme parks offer, check out their virtual visits:

Orlando is ripe for a culinary adventure. Less than two miles from Rosen Shingle Creek is Restaurant Row on Sand Lake Road. All around town restaurants have adopted new measures to help keep patrons safe. Al fresco dining as well as ample take out options are becoming the norm. Chefs, servers, and bartenders are masked and most of them gloved while preparing dishes and drinks for your intimate party to enjoy.

World-class shopping is minutes away at several locations. Budget-friendly bargains await the savvy shopper at Orlando Premium Outlets at the north end of International Drive. For a family-friendly day of shopping, visit the Florida Mall with its great assortment of stores as well as The Crayola Factory, a quirky place for kids to enjoy.

Rosen Shingle Creek is in an ideal location for exploring Orlando, yet you may choose to enjoy your Sunshine State visit right on the manicured grounds. With lodging, dining, golf, spa services, and 524,000 square feet of event facilities within its 255 acres, the hotel is a self-contained escape for both business and leisure travelers. No wonder the Northstar Meeting Group named Rosen Shingle Creek as its prestigious Stella award winner for the Southeast’s best golf resort in 2017.

Here’s why you might want to hang around.

A Doorway to Nature at Rosen Shingle Creek

While Rosen Shingle Creek is filled with modern amenities, it also provides access to Old Florida nature.

The hotel’s backdrop is the waterway Shingle Creek, itself one of the headwaters of the state’s scenic Everglades. For guests with a yen for outdoor adventure, Rosen Shingle Creek provides a nature trail. Meander amid towering grasses, graceful Spanish moss trees, dramatic pine tree stands, and blooming flowers. As you stroll, native birds will be your companions.

In season, the hotel offers for fishing off the charming dock overlooking the Shingle Creek Golf Club’s manicured greens.

Glorious Dining at Rosen Shingle Creek

AAA doesn’t hand out high ratings freely, so it’s significant that Rosen Shingle Creek has two restaurants with Four Diamond ratings.

At Cala Bella, chefs bring the best of Italian flavors to Orlando, whether you want a daring dish like squid ink spaghetti with butter-poached lobster, or a fine take on a traditional one such as chicken Parmesan or veal Marsala. A Land Remembered is a top-quality steakhouse featuring Harris Ranch Black Angus Five Diamond beef, yet it also honors Florida’s pioneer days, as does the book for which it’s named. Diners can go modern with, say, goat cheese fritters, or embrace Cracker culture with alligator stew.

These two top choices in fine dining at the hotel are two of 15 total restaurants found at Rosen Shingle Creek.

Golf Games and Education

The respected Arnold Palmer Design Company created the Shingle Creek Golf Course, weaving in undulating fairways, dense pines and oaks, and closely mown runoffs and chipping areas among the 18 holes, which themselves are placed around natural preserves.

To improve your skills for the par-72 challenge, sign up for instruction at the Brad Brewer Golf Academy, which has state-of-the-art technology, or simply take advantage of the 15,000 square feet of practice areas and the 70,000-square-foot driving range.

Spa Essentials

For many, diffusing in or by any of Rosen Shingle Creek’s four pools is the ultimate in relaxation, perhaps with a friendly volleyball game on the sand court for diversion.

For yet more serenity, book yourself some pampering at The Spa at Shingle Creek. Go simple, with a mani-pedi or De-Stress massage. Or go for the gold, choosing perhaps a Creekside Citrus and Cedar massage, which includes a foot scrub, or a Calusa Cocoon, which involves a full-body brush, exfoliation, a moisturizing wrap, and a zip of citrus essences. Before and after your scheduled treatment, spend time in the sauna, steam room, whirlpool, and relaxation room.

Get an updo or blowout for the evening’s event at the salon before heading back to your guestroom.

Yes, your meeting, conference, or convention will be in exceptional spaces, with excellent service and amenities, at Rosen Shingle Creek. Yet the extras may entice you to stay around longer.
